I can’t cope

[Captain24]

Reducing weight is what I need @tyme. Thats not the ED talking. I also need to be more active which will also help. 

Without the extra pain meds I couldn’t stand up straight. Even surfaces are so much better but there isn’t any around here. 

It’s a deep pain that is always there. But it does grab occasionally. It is isolated to my Bach and not running down my sciatic nerve at the moment so I’m trying to contain it. 

Im hoping the pain meds are continual and not just a once off. The extra drug is making me a little tired though.

I'm along the same lines too in terms of my weight and my back. I also need to focus on more strength-based exercises. @Captain24 

Oh well... in time. 

Just look after yourself for now.

Hey @Captain24  back pain does suck. (ED not speaking here), but I do find keeping myself active really does help and keeping myself below a certain weight). 

im glad they are treating you in there and listening to your needs. 

[tyme]

We're all on the same page. Back pain and weight. @Bow @Captain24 . And true, it's not ED speaking. It's fact.

I spoke to a doc and he said that even when I have back pain, I should still move around as much as I can rather than nurse the pain. However, I know this is not for everyone in case it can make things worse.

Im trying to keep active and I want to continue it at home. @Bow @tyme. I think the worst thing i can do is stop. Plus if i ever want to get out of here i need to try. Also I have to work out the weight issue. 

I have exercises from the physio and the gym is open in the morning so I will do that again. 

I’ll try and get pain relief and go for a walk in the morning but I may have to Uber back. I don’t think those hills climbing back up helped. 

I have managed to have a shower and put some washing on so that’s an achievement I guess. I just wish there was actually hot water not the like warm water.

OMG love it @Captain24!! Also, it would totally count in the Scavenger Hunt (if you've been following it at all?).

How you doin this evening hun? 

[Captain24]

Nah I haven’t been following along @Jynx. Feel free to use it. I don’t have the capacity to keep up with anything. 

Im really not doing well. I think it’s withdrawal from my anti-depressant. Plus I have severe back pain. I’m at the point that I don’t want to do this life anymore. 

How are you? 

[Jynx]

@Captain24 oh dang, yeah coming off meds would be spinning you right out hey. I'm sorry to hear the SI is super heavy. Anything I can do to help? 

[Captain24]

There is nothing anyone can do @Jynx. I’ve given up. I’ve lost my will to live. 

There’s no strong pain relief written up either.
