Hi, I think you are extremely brave. I find it amazing how we adapt to
difficult situations. By no means as difficult as your situation, I used
to sculpt with clay and due to osteoarthritis had to stop. I could not
longer wedge the clay. A friend persuaded me to paint. I resisted for a
few months until I had to do something with myself. It worked for a
couple of years but am now struggling and takes ages to finish a painting.
Acceptance does not come easily. I guess one has to learn to be kind and
patient with one's self. Good luck with the tests .

Around 7/8 years ago I had had enough and was planning to end it all. At that time I had a client try to commit suicide, except I got in the way and stopped it. He always asks me how I knew what his thoughts were, I haven't grown a big enough pair to own up and tell him what I was in the middle of doing. I guess for both of us it was the right person at the right time.
The curse of having so many health issue is they are internal so everyone I meet comments I'm looking good. Frankly I wish they wouldn't but I know they mean well.
I've just had 3 weeks of hell from a new medication, couldn't move without wanting to vomit with a belly full of extreme pain. I hung in there waiting for it to subside. No chance, back to being aggressive and struggling with life. Had to go back to an introductory dose, still a problem but at least I can leave everyone else in piece and the pain is going. Strange I never thought of taking my strong painkillers until just now. Of course the need has gone now, what a dummy.
Having a reasonable good day today but then I have had to reorganise my daily process, we'll see how this works out. Luckily my Dr's don't mind following what I want to do and support me now. I guess they have finally realised that my symptoms may not be those listed but indeed they are a result of the medication. I get a laugh when they tell me I'm super sensitive, little do they know that applies to idiots as well!
Upward and onward for the moment.
Cheers
