All i ask is some relief from half of my pain.I have been housebound for 6 years because of the chronic pain.Every time i have to go in hospital ,it doesnt matter what ward i have to go on,the Doctors know me now and say,oh here comes Glo, our nightmare.They do everything they can ,but they say that i am so complex.I have even had the Professor from Cardiff university ring me up.HE TOLD ME THERE IS SOMETHING OUT THERE,IT IS JUST A MATTER OF FINDING IT.I wish they would hurry up and find it.They cant even find a Heart Surgeon to replace two of my heart valves for me,they said that i wouldnt survive the operation because of my other health problems.Im sorry for moaning about myself,but i have no on else to moan to,except my lovely Husband but he is not well himself and i cant keep worrying him.We have three lovely Sons and i know that it hurts them to see me like this.I have never put anything like this on the internet before,dont even know if i am doing it right.Hope so.Hope i can be a bit more cheerful in a few days time,instead of winging.Take care everyone.Glojo.

Newly diagnosed with Osteopenia and Osteoporosis it would be great if there was no daily pain in neck and lower back!

Breathlessness and fatigue. I would love it if I didn't have asthma and COPD :(

For me, it's the withdrawal from socialising, the not wanting to talk about difficulties and having to pretend. Yes I feel the emotional impacts, i'm very very lonely

As I suffer from Narcolepsy which includes Cataplexy and sensitivity to temperatures plus Fibromyalgia, the one thing I would love to lose is falling asleep when others are awake.
