Functional hours creeping down

[Kyrok]

I wake up in pain, take my meds, and if lucky, 90 minutes later my pain has gone down enough that I can get some work done.
Two to three hours later, I'm again in too much pain and am forced to lie down until dinner time.
I then get up, and eat fast. About half the time, I have to take a break and lie down for ten minutes before returning to the table to finish the meal
Then, strait to bed for the next six or seven hours until I go to sleep.

Repeat.

I feel this. I don't know what's causing your pain, but I suffer from a few conditions. Today my trigeminal neuralgia was so bad I couldn't chew. I had soup and a milkshake for meals. My back has been locked for 3 days and I was able to use a walker to get to the bathroom and that's it.

Me too. I'm sorry for everyone else in these situations.

It makes it hard to get anything done or have any kind of life or death. At least nobody expects me to do anything and I have a carer.

Sorry to hear you're in constant pain. I'm somewhat the same where sitting down gets uncomfortable for my back until I have lay back down or stand up straight. It's just constant repetition to no end. I just can't fathom how people think this is even close to living.

my physical problems are finally getting better but people treated me so much like shit while I was ill that I still don't want to live. I only want to push on a few more years if I can, for spite. I want to be that Oldest Person In The World being interviewed on tv and when they say "How did you live to 127 years?'
I'll scream "HAAAATE!!! I just hate you all so goddamn much!! IT FUELS ME!"

@not_a_robot Thanks for the first laugh I had in days.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's no life being chronically ill or in pain. I can attest to the worst part being people treating you like toxic waste when you're not doing well. As if your misfortune in life is somehow contagious. I'm even starting to resent my (very) healthy family members, who seem to skirt around me like they're about to step in dog shit or something. I sure as heck won't be giving much of a damn if and when anything happens to them.
