I don't know exactly what you're feeling but I can remember how I felt and the fear and loneliness I carried at feeling so ill and not getting any answers. There is something grindingly hard about feeling ill/pain day after day that simply leaves you feeling as if everything is crumbling because your body isn't performing for you the way it used to. I am so sorry you are experiencing this. I wanted you to know I'm sending love and smiles through the internet ether in the hope they reach you and you know you are not alone.

I am glad you are sharing your thoughts and feelings. I know that we cannot really understand all that you are going through with the pain and frustration. I hope that it helps a little that there are people listening and wishing you relief and answers to the HH. <br />LouiseShuttle, Hook and Needlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517847815117237321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-42974465401908531582012-07-13T03:40:25.355-04:002012-07-13T03:40:25.355-04:00I find that I cry at the drop of a hat myself, sin...I find that I cry at the drop of a hat myself, since my back pain has taken over my life like HH has tried to take yours. It is not a sign of weakness. I just say I sprung a leak. Life does go on, whether or not we choose to participate.

I sometimes wonder if it is like post traumatic stress disorder. Stroke patients cry, too. I believe when we through something so awful it changes us. I can only hope it passes with time.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344249802520933458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-56381141422906876932012-07-12T16:28:22.126-04:002012-07-12T16:28:22.126-04:00I feel for you.

I know what it's like to be in pain and shuffled hither and yon just to be told that there's nothing that can be done about it and just learn to live with it. At to least my pain is in my back and can be eased pretty much by sitting still. I can't imagine what it would be like with a headache like yours. It does make you feel alone. I thought I was the only one that felt that way.<br /><br />As for the crying, I am a first class crier. I cry when something makes me sad, but I also cry when something makes me happy.Franny Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814070960056320123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-69845231498066234762012-07-12T15:36:59.678-04:002012-07-12T15:36:59.678-04:00You're probably going to wince at this but is ...You're probably going to wince at this but is there any way you can get away for awhile, away from all your responsibilities and dead-lines?

I broke a rib 3 days ago and already I am just so tired of dealing with the pain, the not sleeping well and the not feeling like myself. This morning I realized that I have 'HAD IT'. My emotions are just below the surface. I am crying at the drop of a hat. I am crabby and angry and nothing seems right. The fact that you have been dealing with pain for so many months just boggles my mind. I so hope that something/someone helps you soon. <br />By the way....I can't wrap my brain around that last photo....could you explain just what I am seeing?
