Hi all.


In one answer in this forum somebody told me that when we have in perpetual pain we must learn to live our live in pieces.


There are pieces with pain and pieces with less pain, this is true for me. I am in pain from 6 to 8 all the day.


When I am in 6 I must do things, like go to a walk or navigate in Internet or go to see my nephew...


Today I have 8 hours in bed. 8 hours in the day, you see?, after I wake up I must to return to bed because I cannot stay up all the time.


I cannot see a film of 2 hours because in the middle or something the pain returns to me. I only can see pieces of 20 minutes...


This is the life that has a person in constant pain?. Do we learn to live our life in pieces?.

Yes we do Seymour and that's what we have been saying. You take the best and be glad you have that and build on it by finding any and everything that gives you more pieces!! You then hope beyond hope that someone will find a new med or procedure or even a cure and you let that hope and the love of those who need you keep putting the pieces together.

Yes, I think its something we learn to do as we learn to cope with our pain, its part of the stages of pain...
it's the coping part of having pain you know for how long you can last for a movie until you have to get up so you watch parts at a time...ect...
Makes perfect sense to me...typically we'd learn to live like this as we get older, but, when your hit with this at a younger age then the first stages we deal with more often is anger...anger still gets me at times as well...

Hi seymour,

When one Dr told me I was going to have to learn to live with some pain as I will never be the same again I actually cried and said there is no way I can do that, I cannot live like this, going from being such an active person to being in pain all the time, I climbed mountains and it's been SO tough and upsetting not being able to that.

I will say though, I was using so much energy being so sad and why did this have to happen to me (still do some days!) that I had to change, going to different specialists so going to try different things to help but I have had to calm down about it all.

I have read some of your other posts and I know you have no answer yet as to what's happening to you and that adds to the stress.

I so hope you start to feel better soon and get some answers.
