I am resigning myself to the thought that being in this kind of pain may be how I spend the rest of my life.
I'm tired of fighting tooth and nail to get medication to help me with the pain and being looked at like I'm a druggie. I'm not addicted. If the pain was gone today I'd flush the drugs in a heartbeat and I'd be out looking for work tomorrow. The pain doctor tells me to do more yet refuses to increase the medication when the added activity increases my pain level.
The antidepressant issues aren't helping much either. It is tough when you can't take so many things that are supposed to help. It makes the moodiness more intense and I'm on the edge of tears most of the day.
I don't know...that might help me when I have my hearing. I certainly won't have to worry about them thinking I'm overly happy...
I need a nap.

I've been here on earth for just over half a century. For the last several years, I've had a chronic pain condition as my constant companion. I've learned to value each and every day simply because it is there; to love and appreciate my family and friends; to enjoy life and love no matter the restrictions on my time or activity; and, most importantly, to love and worship God in any way I can regardless of my limitations.

The older I get, the more I lean on God. He is my all in all and from Him I get the strength to go on from day to day. Currently He has allowed me to be afflicted with a nerve-based disability that has taken me out of the mainstream workplace and changed the way I live my life; in this, I see more and more how dependent I am on Him for every moment of every day. Without Him, I am nothing. With Him, I can do all things.

"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive." Jeremiah 29:11-14, Amplified Bible
