Hello,

Depending on your condition, you can experience chronic pain in different parts of your body. Is it in your knees from osteoarthritis? In your hips from rheumatoid arthritis? Or a genral, all over pain, like with fibromyalgia?

@catwomanno.1  Hiya....I'm sure nobody will judge you for not posting, we are all in the same boat here. Sometimes fingers work, sometimes not. Sometimes the mind is too full to focus on anything but staying alive. Don't apologise my friend, we all understand how hard it is just keeping stable enough to live some sort of happy life, even for a rare moment.   Love yourself when you need to, nurture yourself when you need to, take time out to recoup some energy both physical and mental and most of all know that we all care. Hugs and love..G

@GloriaG  My dear Tiger, you are wonderful, making things for people in need,,,such good therapy and not surprising from an angel like you. How is you motorised invalid scooter, mine is called "ferrari"....what did you call yours ? I remembered all the road rules after not driving for 25 years, indicate when turning, give way to the right etc....I'm going to put stickers on it, Lovey dovey stuff like, love yourself, Harley Davidson...etc. I know you are in pain my dear, as I can feel you from this distance.....it's called friendship...you are never a burden to me, I love to hear from you. What's it like in the UK now..? We are steaming hot like never before, and hug the fan in the evening when it's still 25 degrees....phew. Wish we had a swimming pool, I got the dog a cheap plastic one, but she hates it...so maybe we should use it ourselves...lol Things continue to be difficult here, I had to sack my cleaner, coz she gave the pigs the peel from the Yams we grow and eat like roast potatoes...I specifically told her not to, only for the chickens who seem to be OK with it...it contains enough cyanide to kill the whole village....and 16 pigs died because she didn't know and didn't believe what I had told her. So now we are "pigless"...I suppose my grief for the pigs and my temper got the best of me, now I don't have a helper at home. My daughter Claudia does her best to sweep the floor and mop it, then I have to tackle cooking and dishes. Very difficult. I guess someone will come along soonish to give a well paid hand. I hope you are happy, let me know how you are and any problems and any laughs...my best friend on this forum...Love you..G

@Tigger.co.uk   Thank you my Tiger. It would be great to have a real English Christmas, here it is mostly Hindu, That's OK coz they love my Christmas tree and wreaths on the doors. I always give what I can even just a bag of lollies to the kids around here but this year is a bit bare as we have had a lot of expenses to cover, My daughter is 21 on the 17th February, so my eldest daughter is coming from Australia to have a Mum and  daughters time, just for a few days. I am so looking forward to it. Then in July, the whole family are coming ( well at least half of them ) to celebrate our cooler weather, it freezes in Australia in July and they all hate the cold weather. My memory has gone haywire too, Claudia, my Balinese daughter gets mad at me when she has to go looking for lost items. One year I had invited all the staff from the clinic for Xmas lunch but 300 locals turned up, it was a nightmare. Much as I love them it certainly wasn't possible to feed all of those people. We had to turn them away sadly.  I wish you a happy and pain free Christmas with lots of love around you.....catch you again soon.....Love always....G

Pain extends from neck down spine to, and including hips. Worst points in the upper thoracic spine and lumber region/hips, extends to left side in lower pain area. 

Almost totally home/bed bound now.

Nothing has been diagnosed yet, waiting for an MRI for 1 month now.
