Iv gotten accustomed to pissing in the sink while I use my electric razor (on my face)

Ken.

Mod-ydsa, this is a fun thread. Do not use it to take digs at other forums on boards and 51% of the population. Same warning goes for all.

At least your not pi**ing in the kettle!

I love my children to bits but after 3 years at home, I can't wait to work again full-time. I do not enjoy being a stay-at-home, it made me lonely and depressed. I am done with the financial prudence where every cent is accounted for.
I didn't connect well to the mothers around because my goals are different, my values are different and I don't care about local gossip, that's what keeps everyone together.

Every minute of every day I'm in pain to some degree ( today is a 9) chronic pain is so merciless that suicide seems entirely logical, I'm not depressed, I'm reasonably well off and have a wonderful young family but no way can I tolerate another forty years of chronic pain, I'll have surgery next year but after that I'm open to every option at my disposal

I'm brutally unsentimental

You poor thing.

I hope the surgery surpasses your hopes.

It probably won't as chronic pain is common post surgery, those with chronic pain live with a situation where the brain perceives routine ordeals to be a catastrophe, I'm on my second experience

First was following a broken rib in 2007, pain lasted five and a half years

Current experience began June 1st 2018 but the pain is much more severe, a 25kg block fell four feet onto my right foot, it was entirely someone else's fault, bizzarely nothing broke but of course nerve damage does not show up in any scans.

Ireland is a rough place to live with chronic pain, the medical culture here is the opposite of the usa, puritanical attitudes to pain, it's viewed as good for the soul to endure it and they prescribe grossly under strength medication for everything

Makes little difference to me anyway as I get stomach ulcers if I take oral medication for any length of time

I have nerve damage in my arm. Shoulder to fingers. Very light exercise and good diet are the only things that come close to helping

And did - do you find that most doctors have an extremely limited understanding of pain as an ongoing condition

I would kill everyone in this thread for a drop of sweet beer.

That sounds awful, have you tried CBDoil, I found it fantastic for joint pain and it had the added bonus of mellowing me out in general, hope your surgery is successful.

It was a joke - I was pretending to be outraged at the idea of someone 'cheating' on Boards by viewing Mumsnet.

(Unless your mod note is also a joke - and you're simply pretending to believe that I was being serious. In which case, fair play)

Yes I tried it

Not worth a sh1te, had two 250 euro steroid injections and they were also useless, only thing which does help is a tens machine but when the pain gets really bad, even that is little help

Is smoking weed an option for you? Used to treat all sorts of pain in the US.

Very poor. I had to travel to the UK for a proper diagnosis. In fairness to my consultant here he sent me for ever type of test he thought might show the problem. Most done multiple times .

Once in the UK the guy gave me a 3 hour proper exam with his hands and gave me a diagnosis.

My bad then. Probably funny if we were all in a room together but in text it doesn't come across that way.

I spent 3 years saving my money driving a wreck of a car so I could buy myself a Nissan leaf electric car .

Researched the sh1te out of it for years ...

Told everyone I work with and friends I was buying one.

Took a week off to go looking at them when time came and bought a Hyundai i40 estate ......

When I would be driving at night, I used to collect cats eyes that had been knocked out of their sockets. They would be shining at the side of the road.
