Hello everyone! I am 75, a Benedictine sister. While I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia years ago, that in itself did not cause too many problems. Depression was and is the biggest problem. However, a year ago I was in a car accident and have had severe (by my standards) pain ever since. After a LOT of dr. visits, experiments, etc. it's " we don't know what's wrong, we can't fix it, manage the pain". Problem is, the meds make depression symptoms MUCH worse...but without them I'm brought to tears, can't think, etc. Is anyone else struggling with major depression and pain? How are you handling it? Thank you in advance

@hosta, you are not overlooking anything. Other than a member using your @ username, you can know if other members are responding to your post by how their post is indented. It can become a bit more difficult to determine who another member is responding to in a long discussion such as this one.
Hello Sister...I greatly admire and appreciate your life of devotion.
It's a moment to moment life, my great friend who happens to be a nun taught me this years ago, so I try living by. It not only helps get through the hard minutes of life, but makes the happy ones sweeter.
Please remember how many prayers you have said for others and they are bouncing back to you.
God Bless you!
Humor and laughing! If you want to see a really silly show, I recommend Impractical Jokers...cable. Anyone else have shows that make you laugh?
I like Waiting for God and Fawlty Towers

@jimjd I am responding to one of your comments, I would like it also, that when your are responding to someone comments to put their name of who you are responding to. I never know if some one is responding to me or someone else. Am I overlooking something?
