I am 43 and on disability because of diabetes type 1, gastroparesis, cyclic vomiting syndrom, radiculopothy, nueropathy,and NASH. I am in constant pain but try to take as little pain med as possible because it's not working as well anymore. I have found laughter helps some, and recommend anyone in pain watch JEff Dunham, Bill Cosby, or any comedian or comedy. It's only temporary relief but it is relief. Because of the gastroparesis I have a hard time keeping my diabetes under control.
I am too young to be this sick and I really don't know where to turn. I am a Mom of two grown kids and a grandma of three and I can't even play with them because of the pain. I so somethings even knowing the pain will be worse later, but when your in constant pain, there comes a time when you feel like saying the heck with it, I'm going to hurt anyway so why not have a bit of fun with the kids. I am divorced, mainly because of my health, he could not deal with it. and I am new to Rogers, AR. I moved here to be close to my son, then my son moved hours away so I am stuck. no car, it got takenback when I lost my job due to illness, and no real friends to speak of just because I don't know who to meet people. I have called a couple of churches to see if there would be anyone that could pick me up for church and have gotten no replies. I am trying to not let all this get me down, but it's hard sometimes.
