In what way? healthwise? mentally?

I'm getting the results of some blood tests back from the doctors tomorrow (i've not been for over three years as i've not been ill) i went on the Atkins diet for six months last year, stopped drinking alchohol and dropped a stone or more.

I'm worried about myself. I've been surrounded by death these last few years. Family members due to cancer, old age and friends dropping like flies (aneurisms, Afghanistan etc) I feel selfish saying this but It's been a bit hard on me mentally.

Could be i smoked too much weed in that time just to escape a little bit. But yeah i poured my heart out to my Doctor and now i await those test with fear and trepidation. Because that's the kind of luck me and mine have been having.

sorry for the serious post.

hey sweetcheeks, give yourself a good slap, watch jeremy kyle, check out the world news, look at prince's yellow trousers/pimp combo. if afterwards u feel lucky to be u, then all is ok

the yellow trousers had me smiling for a bit

yeah I'm waiting for results and kind of nervous this time, plus I keep having body pain that moves around and other symptoms with it and was told I'm fine, but to have iron and exercise, so I'm going to try it, but I'm convinced I have FMS or some disease and desperately want a second a opinion too, and no longer want to keep worrying year after year, cause mentally I can't handle it anymore. I'm bipolar and manage that, but this all adds to my stress level and I need to desperately bring it down

I'm sorry for your losses, a chain of events can cause that feeling and you're not selfish for it at all, talking about it is the best thing you can do for yourself.

I'm 29 and get told all the time I'm healthy, but living with constant pain is not easy. I want my 30's to be more peaceful cause my 20's were too hectic and I realize I did it to myself. A lot of my friends are in their 30's and early 40's, and some of them happen to have issues they talk about too.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with me either.

that's rotten & i can sympathize, pain is very tiring. i've learned is that a brisk walk, good sleep pattern & laughing helps a bit.

I have very unstable sleep, but the times I even it out is when I feel good, and doing things that make me laugh or feel good really help me live in the moment, but crashing is hard physically and emotionally

I can relate to having chronic physical pain. I have diabetes and high blood pressure and liver scarring and chronic headaches and my right knee and back hurt all the time. And to top it all off i have a nodule on the left side of my thyroid and on the right side a cyst.

People say i look healthy and well but some days i don't feel healthy or all that well.

I'm sure a decent amount of chronic pain can be attributed to stress, diet, hormone levels and nerve damage. I've read about people who constantly felt awful and later found out they were allergic to gluten, food additives or had overactive or underactive thyroids.

Chronic physical or emotional pain sucks. I would just say hang in there and keep your lives as stress free as possible. One thing i do know is excessive worrying doesn't help one bit.

Peace.

wow that's a lot to deal with, definitely take care

I think it's all those things too, but I'm worried it's causes not being identified as well as you mentioned. Plus stress of the past few years made my pain escalate though it was just occasional before that, so I know it's tied to emotional pain though I developed it physically too from an injury, and those are the parts that act up the most. Upper leg area, back, head, sometimes chest, arm numbness. But though I keep talking to people about what bothers me, things are coming around, yet the pain is still there.

Diabetes and HBP run in my family too so sometimes I worry I'll get one of them at anytime and try to eat healthy, but have to exercise though every time I try, I can't do that nor could I dance anymore cause it hurts too much or my leg feels like it's being stabbed
