Hello..thanks for the warm welcome.
I'm 63 yr old dreamer of being pain free some day...i have pain 24/7...intensity goes up n down throughout the day. I have many diagnosis that has brought me to my knees with pain..litterally. it's been ongoing for long time. Was forced to leave nursing after 25 years due to my health. Was very active prior to my disability..Have had numerous surgeries....hoping to b able to converse with other people that are in chronic pain n can relate .Dx's..arthritis..sm nerve neuropathy..pelvic floor neuropathy 2nd to pelvic surgeryx3 made worse by each surgery...left with mesh to keep things together but made things so much worse..another to remove n repair..left with more pain..1 hip replaced other one needs to b replaced like now..but refusing to get it done for now..also spinal stenosis with lot of degenerate disk disease..anemia....etc..last one is fibromyalgia..lot of tests n treatments done with no relief. Traveled to different hospitals n seen by different doctors...now I say I'm done with it all..whats done is done ..i can't go back. Just trying to live with the new me which has been extremely hard..my mind races like I'm 26 but my body feels like it's 106 yrs old..the golden years..not what i planned for retirement...one day at a time..continue to stay strong n pray..i will. Looking forward to getting to know everyone here......dreamer 🌈somewhere over that rainbow....

@dreamer63 hi dreamer, I am here to welcome you! I also fight pain but not like you. You have a lot going on yet at the end you mentioned your strength. We’ll try to stay strong together. I am 61 years young and have fibro and rheumatoid arthritis. Look forward to commiserating with someone who knows constant pain. Karen W
