Dear Angie,
I wish there was something that I could do for you. You have been through quite a lot lately taking care of your husband and son, and they are so very lucky to have your love and care. Sounds like it would be nice for someone to take care of Angie a little!
I know, this constant pain is enough to make anyone cry, even the strongest of us, it really wears you down, wears you out!
I think you need to ask your Doctor if he can do more for you! Tell him that you need his help in better pain control!
Wishing you well,
SK
Hi Angie! I'm so so sorry that you're feeling so poorly lately. I'm wondering if the changing weather could be affecting you. Are you getting a lot of rain? Any snow? (Yeah, some folks still are getting it.) Colder than normal? Or maybe the warm weather is affecting you? I know that weather impacts me HUGELY. Some other possibilities might be you overdoing it at work or at home, or even stress.
I use Salon Pas over the counter patches to ease some of my pain. I stick several of them around an offending area and keep them on for 8 hours. They help to soothe some of my pain away. Ibuprofin also helps some. And ice! Oh yes, let's not forget the nice, cooling ice pack that brings down inflammation in the offending area.
I truly wish I had more words of wisdom. I know that some people find that Epsom salts in a warm bath help. Other than that, I'm without ideas. But I hope this flare eases up on you soon. I know it's just terrible when you're in one that bad.
Prayers, hugs, tea and sympathy for you,
Petunia
Hi Angie, I’m so sorry you are feeling so awful, I can so totally understand how you feel !!! The pain can be so bad at times and its so exhausting to fight it everyday, sometimes you just have to allow yourself that so deserved pitty party… ( I usually, just shut everyone out & be alone ) Then slap it off the next day
A visit to the dr ( even if it can just cause more frustration ) can sometimes help… Perhaps new meds, a new plan of care… Pain management ? I have had menstral cramps for 24 days straight… I’m so sick of this pelvic pain, so tomm I am calling my ob dr. & I’m making an apt with an endocrinologist to see if hormones are out of sink… Some hope has to be there right …
Hang in there, I’m thinking about you 
Hugs & blessings
