Hi, been a very long time since I’ve posted here and truth be told I’m not a frequent visitor either. I’m one of those that prefers to shut up and get on with it type people. Getting older and the symptoms are really starting to dig in now unfortunately. I’m curious how people deal with constant chronic pain, I’ve pretty much always had pain but recently things are getting far far worse. I have been in contact with health care professionals (once a year) but not getting anywhere fast. I have tried a fair amount of the usual suspect drugs but I either get a bad reaction or they do nothing to help. Got to the point that my neurologist and doctors just keep recycling the same meds expecting different results. As I’ve said I’m pretty much a shut up and get on with it type person but I am at the point where it’s getting pretty intolerable but I can’t seem to get myself heard, even my family seems to think I’m indestructible. I have always had an extremely considerable high pain threshold which has served me extremely well in the past but I think in the long run it has been my undoing, I know others in my situation who get help with all sorts of things whilst I get absolutely nothing and anything I did have has been taken away. Example:- I used to get financial help from the government but they sent some people to my house whom pretty much determined I could stand up and sit down plus talk to them so no longer needed help, totally disregarded the extreme pain I was fighting at the time. Just wondering if anybody else is or has been in my situation has delt with this.
