CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Wouldn’t wish this on anyone

I have rheumatoid arthritis, fybromyalgia, bursitis in both hips, DDD along my spine, PFS and a few oth delightful issues. My DNA suggests I don’t react to pain like most of the population so I figure what I say hurts would kill someone else. I am tired of the looks and the unbelieving sarvastic remarks if I say I can’t make it Or I can’t do it etc. My life changes from moment to moment and I do things I know I will pay for later but that’s the way things are. A small outing or visit may take me days to recover from.
it is also so much more than just pain, there is fatigue, self worth, worry, anxiety and mourning for your old way of life. I don’t know what else to say other than unless you live it you have no clue. I don’t want anyone to have to live the way I do.

Thank you for your interest in this consultation with the Canadian Pain Task Force towards an improved approach to better understand, prevent, and manage pain in Canada.
