@guineapiglover Thank you for the well thought out and kind message. I do truly appreciate it. I lost my job and I’ve been in so much pain for at least a year. My coworkers I believe thought I was faking or using this to cover for something else. It wasn’t until mid September my pain started to settled. I’m trying to go without taking NSAIDS (the strong ones) but some days I get tired of the pain. I know others deal with this but I never thought I would have to deal with something like this. I probably won’t date. I haven’t for a while and I know my condition will put a strain on a relationship. I’ve somewhat been in this situation. Not dating but getting to know someone and they wanted to do stuff but I didn’t feel well. I’m a dog lover so I may get myself a few dogs and be happy with them. Thanks for your advice.
