Please reach out. Chronic pain and fatigue is tough and very isolating. Having similar health issues and different family and work ones but it isn't about comparing notes. A starting point may be to find others with a similar experience who can help to share their (our) own management methods - personally I found that really helps. Many friends have drifted since I've been too unwell to real life socialise, more drifted when I got married, there are still a few (and my spouse who is overseas for almost a year) who keep in contact online, that means a lot to me. Working effectively as lead income earning in the family when alone and unwell is a huge struggle that does encourage negative thought, so I try to consider the positives and hope for the future. At the same time I'd be a liar to say there aren't times when the negative thoughts overwhelm.

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!
