Hi Sue, it seems you have several ailments which you are trying to cope with. Constant pain is highly stressful, sending cortisone racing around of you internally. One thing always leads to another and for myself I have become more and more aware lately that when pain or discomfort starts to lessen another discomfort always seems to fill the space left behind. Recently I downloaded an app called Curable and have spent some time listening to the interesting and often entertaining research being carried out on the study of chronic pain. Of course one can buy into the app but I don’t have the money for that. I have only taken advantage of the free content and there is a wealth of knowledge and sharing of information to keep one interested and proactive in the handling of their own pain. Just thought I would share this with you. Perhaps you too may find some solace here.
I wonder where you live. I live in CapeTown, South Africa. It is winter here and very cold today.
With kind regards and empathy for the discomfort in you day to day life.
