I was thinking this was my support group for fibro and back pain . Have<br>heard some diff meds, altho I never respond well to anything. But thank<br>you @disgusted (that's the way I have felt for 30 years now with 5<br>surgeries on back and all the diff procedures which do not work. @ladyjane85<br><br>

@disgusted from ladyjane85 I am now 86 and for the last 4 years I<br>moved to a continuing care facility bec it was impossible to do housework<br>and could only stand 10 min before pain was so bad that hard to cook. Had<br>been looking into facilities for 3 years on line and visiting nearby ones.<br>Only one in my county was a licensed continuing care. No family nearby.<br>Daughter did move down to Tampa whereas I am on the Atlantic coast of Fl so<br>she only comes when I land in hospital. At this age one has many health<br>problems though I look young. She has a family and works so cannot come<br>often so do not call on her unless hospital lets her know. Have one<br>bedroom and living room, sm kitchen. Light housekeeping done for you and a<br>meal in formal dining room. CC living is expensive however, but they can<br>never throw you out even if you run out of money...<br><br>

Yes, of course, I do many intellectual things all day long......I used to be able to do my art work but everything is too back breaking in every medium. ladyjane85

Yes, online support groups are good. I realized that after I posted my reply. What I meant was having a live support group. That also helped. I also had one back surgery which did not work, so I know how you must feel. My heart goes out to you for your suffering for so long. I hope you have a supportive family.
