A Beacon In The Night: << 1 Corinthians 13 >>

1.Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.  

2.And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 
 3.And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 
4.Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 
5.Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 
6.Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 
7.Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 
8.Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 
9.For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 
10.But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 
11.When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 
12.For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 
13.And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.  

I hate this!

Trying to watch the Steelers/Raders game... Its about the only thing I've got to look forward to any more....

It got really cold last night so I'm in some awfully bad pain...These are the times that all I can do is lay here and cry, when it hurts so bad I pray for god to take me home... I'm stuck and I don't want to do this another  second...Having Fibromyalgia is bad, having Degenerative disc disease, Compressed pinched nerves, Degenerative Austio arthritis and three bulging disc in my neck really takes a bite out of a body...Days like this I can't help but hate the T.A. at Butler Pain Clinic that decided after being on pain meds since 1999 when I fell on my porch and hurt myself so badly I couldn't walk... Well two months ago this T.A. not the doctor decides I no longer need my pain meds. I never got to talk to my chicken shit doctor.... SO NOW I CAN'T FUNCTION, AND COLD HURTS SO BAD I DON'T WANT TO LIVE!! Thanks for making what was a limited existence into a death sentence  you asshole!! Today I will sit all day do nothing because I can't move off this heat and massage pad for more than a few minutes without it getting worse, I just wish their was help for people like me....I have been on the cronic pain sites and can't believe how many others have been taken off their pain meds without any warning, just another life that gets ruined, another already suffering person gets taken down.... You know not or just don't care how you're hurting us and I hope with all my heart that carma gets you!!!  SORRY HAD TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST!!!


 Steelers and Radiers are now tied 21/21 w/33&1/3 to go "Good luck Steelers."

Rain Rain go Away!





I am tired, I am tired of being tired. I am tired of having NO LIFE!!!

I am so weak, sometimes dizzy and have trouble with my balance...       
 I can't think straight, can't remember things, or where I put things... 
I forget I have laundry waiting to be dried. I forget to put the yogurt in my hubby's lunch!!!
I can never find my purse, my shoes or where I left my phone and it sucks!!!
 The days run on and on and I feel like I'm barely surviving...
 Today two little toes on both feet, my fore arms, hands,wrists and fingers are burning and are full of pressure, yet I try and write...
I have difficulty dealing with the Electric Pain, The Burning fingers, arms, feet, calves, toes or face, what ever decides to act up at the time!!! The Muscle Pain hurts so badly, I can go a whole day without being able to lift my arms away from my sides. The Pressure in my Wrists and Fingers feels so strong as if something inside is building up. It makes me feel like something actually is going to explode inside...
The winters hurt me something awful, (( but the rain kills...)) 
No one can help me, not the Doctors the Rehumatologist the Pain center or the Psychiatrist can fix what is broken ...
 I get by without anyone's help, just hubby and my dear puppies...
 No matter what my fur baby girls listen without judgements...

 I need the sun, to get out in the sun on a blanket with my puppy's away from the doom and gloom of this house...

Here is where I hide away, with my Fibromyalgia and my newest disease... Granuloma_annulare, it's related to Fibro. & lupus and, well it's just  popping up where ever it wants to...
No their is NO CURE for either one!!!

 But maybe tomorrow will be better, 

maybe I won't hurt so much, just maybe tomorrow it will be warmer!!!

 Rain Rain stay away from me!!!





Bless me Lord, take away my pain and my sadness or take me home. Amen...



No One Knows Your Pain




Today is a bad one, taking my pain meds which do very little towards blocking any pain. 
Spending my day using my tens 
on my poor destroyed neck. feeling tied down!
Welcome Friend!!! How are you today?
This is my blog, it’s sometimes depressing, and yet there may be some tidbits of information you’ll go away with. Types of treatments, things I’ve tried because I’ve tried almost anything that promised relief.
Too many people on here trying to take advantage 
of people with chronic pain,
I hope you burn in Hell for being so cruel…
If you’re a friend or family member you may learn a few things about me, about some of my treatments
things you didn’t know...
The reason I write this is because it helps to get it out of my system. When you’re aware that talking to the people who love you about your misery is making them feel as helpless as you do.
You’ll try to keep it inside!
 But then it is never good to keep things bottled up inside!            I could go talk to a counselor, who gets paid to listen
but they can’t help me nobody can!!!
What’s the point???
Just spending money so someone who doesn’t even know me
will listen to me, seems stupid…
Most people’s reaction to my saying that I’m suffering is an automatic fail, Illness of any kind turns people away.
 It hurts me, to see you don’t really care to listen.
So I then turn to the net and it has helped!
I’ve met people that like me are living in chronic pain. It’s been comforting to feel and know that I am not the only one dealing with this hellish non life.
Thank God I have found I am not alone!
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
 for the former things are passed away.” —Revelation 21:4
I do not only have Fibromyalgia,
 Oh no it’s just not enough for me.
I have three herniated disks on the left side of my neck, I was diagnosed with Cervical (neck) Degenerative Disk Disease
“The nerves of the neck, when irritated can lead to head pain that travels from the neck to the top of the skull and around the ears. Sometimes the pain can radiate into the face or eyes. These headaches can make it difficult to think clearly.”
Fibro fog +2
“God of wisdom, help me to think clearly.”
“Currently there is no proven treatment to prevent or cure neuropathic pain (neuropathy or nerve pain). Instead, the primary goals of treatment are to reduce the pain as much as possible, balance the negative side effects of the treatment, and help patients manage any unresolved pain.
Put it all together my continued physical and emotional suffering caused by having severe fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Degenerative Disk Disease> has in a way ruined my life. I cannot sleep more than a few hours > without using sedative medications and pain medications. I have to sleep with a small round pillow under my neck so I don’t do anything to make my neck pain worse.
I take my medications because I have to... I can't function due to the pain without pain killers and I only take enough to take the edge off!!! I don’t abuse my pain meds because I am afraid my body could get too used to a higher dosage. Then when I have a seriously bad day, taking extra med’s might not work!! There are already a lot of times when the pains been so bad nothing seemed to help. I’ve tried everything and I’ve gotten so depressed that I didn't want to live another day. That's not quite the same as suicide; it just means that I didn't want to face tomorrow...
I have been told that I hide it well, and I try; but only God knows the physical affliction 
that I suffer that others suffer day and night.
It's difficult to have a Social life,
to be a normal Mother. Grandmother and Wife!!!
The pain often radiates into my facial area from the neck
I don't expect people to understand all this. Most people judge others by what they see, but you cannot see what a person feels inside (neither bodily nor emotionally). People, including my own family, do not understand what I am going through...
Pray for me whoever you may be, as I pray for all my web visitors, regardless of who you are. God loves us, not because of who we are, but because of Who He is.
I've had some people criticize me, saying that I don't need pain medications because there are natural alternatives.
That is not true.
There are none that I have found to work.
 If you've never been in agonizing chronic pain, then you cannot grasp the blessing of pain medications.
Today I used my tens most of the morning!! Then had an upset stomach with my colon having a fit, got feeling weak and shaky. My warning I’ve started bleeding when I go cause of the IBS. Another Dr’s appointment I must make
“God, you know.”
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) 
is a disorder that involves abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, as well as changes in bowel movements - 
constipation or diarrhea, or alternation of both. 
People with IBS often experience anxiety and depression.
Millions of people have at least one of these conditions. Fibromyalgia affects 5 million U.S. adults, and an estimated 25 million to 45 million people in the U.S. have IBS.
They forgot to say that it’s mostly women!
I had trouble standing to make a salad for hubbys dinner. 
He was upset with me because it was late,
Can’t blame him for being impatient, I’m always sick!!!

‘Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.’

To all my Friends in Pain!







To all of my friends living with Fibro and other Chronic Pain diseases. I know tonight's going to be another bad one for most of us! So I'm saying Sorry and sending you all Gentle hugs!! I know these last few days have been some of my worst!! I sit here with tears running from the horrible burning pain in my hands, my feet, my tummy, head & neck... The med's just don't help when it's this bad. So it's at my worst I tell myself I am not alone! I remember that all of you are suffering along with me and ask that you stop a minute to help me send out some thoughts of courage and strength to one another...  Lord help us get through yet another rocky night!!
