Feeling fed up

I normally post on here and try my best to help support others.  Last night I felt like giving up.  I have had stomach pain for nearly three weeks after last Denosumab injection.  Had headache and felt so nauseous.  I am normally so very positive and I never give up.  Sometimes it gets me down looking at the future of hospital visits and constant medication.  I know I am lucky and I know tomorrow the clouds will go and the sun will shine.  Just sometimes it is sh-t.

  • Hi Leelaloo,

    I see your name constantly on here helping others. I know it's appreciated, but there are times when it's too much and your first priority has to be self care. When I did first aid, the first thing we were taught was that you had to make sure not to put yourself at harm while trying to help others, because that leaves two to be rescued. I think the same is true here. It's great to help but know when you need support and ask for it, as you've done. I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope you can sort out that awful stomach pain. Take care and I hope you're having a good day today. Gill xx
