  • Oh, hellsbells it's quite understandable that you feel this way. We have to go through so much and don't always get the results we hope for.  I am lying in bed wondering if I can take a 6th lot ofpainkillers (I have had a bad day).  My back hurts, my pelvic area is hurting, I am coughing and have shooting pains through my head.  I cant sleep even though I have been up sinxe 4.00am, because it hurts too much.  And reading that makes me sound like I am 8 years old!

    It's a rotten disease and you feel so alone with it!   You are bound to have off days and, as Brian says, these hormone pills don't help with the moods.  I hope tomorrow is a better day, be positive. And best wishes. x

    Hi HB  .....  I and others here are in exactly the same situation as yourself and all these thoughts are perfactly normal.  Some days I feel so down and then I wake up in the morning and all is wonderful!!

    Dont over-analyse things!  Of course this is how you would feel.  Have a good cry if you need one or put your coat on and get out for a long walk or visit a mate for coffee. 

    We are all only human and have a lot to cope with, so I personally think you are doing bl...y well!!!!

    Take good care and keep talking x
