Ugh, today is one of those days, where my pain tolerance just isnt enough and I feel like Im talking myself 'off the edge' all day. I have little mantras or sayings that I often say quietly to myself or in my head to help me cope with pain when its really bad or just hasnt let up in a while.

Its just too much though when I cant breathe or think without being in pain. It doesnt help that I had another useless follow up appointment with my Dr where I asked him multiple times for literally anything to help and his answer as it always seems to be is lets wait and see.

I dont know how much worse it could be or why other people including my doctor dont get it. Everything hurts!! Pushing the handle to flush the toilet--hurts! Standing up--hurts! Breathing--hurts! Trying to get dressed, lean over, put food on a plate, wash my hands, etc..--hurts!!

My coping skills are never enough, I always seem to end up collapsed on the floor or curled up in bed just trying to convince myself that its okay and Ill survive.

How often do you find yourself having to 'talk yourself down' from dealing with the pain??
