Invisable Illness and Rude People

My invisible illness tends to give off the impression that I'm not sick. Although I thank you for your opinion I am seriously ill. Wow I actually said it...still in denial about how I need to adapt.

This past week I fell...again and it wasn't good. I think my body said last straw. I have been walking about hunched over or just in massive pain. Back pain is like toothache pain. Omg I am telling you constant throbbing and spasms. Nothing works to get rid of it. I know what will but I don't feel like spending 4 hours in the er just for pain.

Well we were coming put of Walmart I was barely able to hold on to the cart as I was wakking. We put our stuff in the truck and I used the cart to get me to the door..stubborn me won't us my cane. Well I was able to push the cart over enough were it was out of everyones way but, this guy sees me and says some people just are too lazy to put a cart back. As he was rolling away with the cart I told him I had a back injury. Don't know why I felt I had to defend myself but I did.

Then a few years ago I was in the hospital with severe ibs. I had to be admitted cause I keep vomiting so much it wouldn't stop. Well as I was in my room a priest walked down the hall to go talk to patients. He walked past my door and said under his breath you don't look sick, why are you here and he walks on. I fought back the tears regarding the the idiot's way of thinking. I should have said something. I wanted to say something. I would have said something but, I was raised to respect my elders.

But every Wednesday when I go for IV therapy I walk past the chapel and I am tempted to go in and talk to whatever priest is there and school him respectfully on invisible illnesses and treat others as you wish to be treated needs to be expressed to his fellow priests. Will I? Don't know. Maybe one day. Maybe one day.

I have family members who put me down for my illness. I have accomplished so much in the 12 years I have been sick. But I am looked on as lazy or I need to go talk to s therapist. Guess what I did. Nothing wrong with me. I am finding ways to cope by studying or hobbies. U don't just lay around all the time. I fight my body to get out of bed these days. Things have to get done no one to do it but me. My husband can't be counted on cause he is always at work. So it falls on me. Yet I am lazy. I can't be put done it causes stress, stress makes my pain worse. So I had to distance myself. Even from my own Gram who I love dearly. I am struggling with my health and to be put down for being sick it's just well..hurtful. Family should understand each other not put them down. I wasnt raised that way.

There are so many people out there with chronic invisible illnesses. Instead of doing the old you don't look sick...just give us a hug. Show us some compassion. We are in pain all the time. We may not look it but we are.

Pain

Some say pain is a part of life. It seems like so many have good days and bad. My bad seem to out weigh the good.

Don't know if it is the heat or my body just hates me but I am in head to toe pain. I got a little bit done today. Well all my sons stuff. All his I folded laundry is all the my stuff I got done.

In pain but my son who is bipolar and functions at 8-14 doesn't get it. He acts like he does but he pushes and pushes till I collapse. It is one thing after another. I think the stress of the situation is making my pain worse.

I don't remember being in so much pain your joints even hurt. Along with my other illnesses I have pre ms. Which means I have all the symptoms of ms but nothing is showing on my scans. But my neuro doctor said that modern medicine doesnt understand that the lesions don't have to be there to have ms.

I may have over did with cleaning yesterday for our Bbq or the fact that the central air isn't working right may have a lot to do with it.

Pain seems to be a part of life. Sometimes I can cope and go about my merry way. Sometimes life has to stop and be on hold for a bit. Not my style but I am being forced to learn it.

Surviving carbon monoxide leaves you with a chronic slew of illnesses that cause pain. I just don't have one I have multiple. I think I will name them multiple buddies. Chronic illness just sounds like a death sentence to me. I survived that. Well truthfully..for now I have. Survival is up to the universe. I leave it at that. I live day to day. Can't make plans they always fall through. I don't like to say my multiple buddies rule me but in a way they do. The pain dictates my live, my plans. I don't feel I have my own life sometimes the pain takes over and there is nothing you can do.

Tonight I cried. I haven't did that regarding my multiple buddies since the diagnosis if my neuropathy. It took my dreams of going back to school for medical massage. I was crushed I cried. I cried this evening cause the pain is so intense. This is what I have to look forward to. This is what is going to complicate things. This makes me weak.

My cry was a release. I stopped asking why a long time ago. The why is Christy Bristol who sold us this house. She claimed she had it checked out she claimed she wasn't even here. Although neighbors tell us different.

I struggle with chronic pain. My pain managemeny doctor in no uncertain terms that what do you expect me to do?

Seriously, that day I came home and just cried. Told him pain management is a no until I can get my other illnesses in line. Well thank you doctor. I hope when I go see him that it will be different. That he might show a little compassion for my pain. I can hope but I am filled with doubt.

When you go to the doctor they always ask 'How are you?" Hmm truth I am dying in pain, my brain is scrambled because of the pain, some days I can't even walk any more, or pick my neck off the pillow, my bones hurt throughout my whole body. I used to say "Fine". Lately I have been telling them pain.

My outlet for my pain seems to be writing. Sorry if it isn't well written. I had my head in books not the ones from school but, the library. The ones about real life. English had no bearing on me. Have forgotten most of my writing skills. But hey I just need to write.
