I am having a bad day today, down & out with this PN. Have been on fire since last night. Lots of trouble with neurogenic bowel. I hope I don't offend anyone by talking about it. I am laying on ice pack, but not much help. Getting an appointment but not till January 6th for bowel. It has been such a burden for eight years and just getting worse. Hard to even walk or stand. Not much better in bed. My feet and legs with neuropathy on fire and feel like cement. Do you just have days when your tired of it all? I want to upbeat but not always possible. Sorry for dumping on you, but being a nurse I think you understand! I think of all the sick we took care of, then feel grateful that not as bad as some if them. Thanks for letting me rant! Sending a Hug@!

@trishj46 I hear you yes it is hard some days and I ve had them with the fibro flares I just want to sleep all day But not possible. We now can understand why some people where so angry and blamed us for not being able to help them . Some things just we don't know how to help someone , Dr,s included . One thing I realized is there is a silver lining coming When? who knows but keep looking up and you,ll find it . Hugs right back we need them when we are down . I was just told by my Dr. I have canker sores in my mouth! She said it was from stress . Lysine is what she suggested to take as some people are having good results so out to the drug store tomorrow. If it isn't one thing its 2 Better days ahead take heart .

@trishj46 Like you, when I start feeling sorry for myself with my myriad of ailments, I try to remember how much worse off many others are. I am grateful that I am doing as well as I am, most of the time.
