HI all. I'm new to the forum. My name is Sara. I'm almost 28 years old, and a mom of three. I have a 4 year old daughter and 13 month old identical twin girls. I live every day in constant pain, I have several conditions that contribute to the pain. I have fibromyalgia, 4 bulging discs in my lumbar, arthritis, mild scoliosis in my back, and a bad left knee. I also have severe post partum depression and anxiety, plus asthma and allergies.

I'd just like to talk and share with others that understand what I go through on a daily basis. My husband and my family and friends are wonderful but they can only understand so much what I go through every day.

Sorry if my introduction is not very eloquent, it's been a long and trying day today.

Hi Sara and welcome to the forum. Sounds like your life is busy. I too was a Cp Mom and I am now on the tailend of the last of 5 with only a 17 yr old remaining at home. Somehow we all managed to survive it!! Don't get me wrong there were plenty of day's I doubted I would...

We have several other CP Mom's and a new member who just found out she's going to be a mom so plenty of folks here who understand your day and the issues your pain bring. Families and then friends are the at the top of the list for not clearly understanding life as we live it even those compassionate enough to try. Until you have actually lived within the cloud of constant and consistent pain and I truly wish it on no one,you just don't have the knowledge to process our lives. My wish would be no one I know and love ever being able to understand.

So we end up here sharing with our CP brethren and hoping somewhere along the way that it helps others while providing a relief of sorts for ourselves.

So again welcome and I hope you find that relief here as so many of us do.

Hi Sara & welcome to the forum. Glad you found us but so sorry that you have the need to be here. There are plenty of us here that understand living the life of a chronic pain patient.

Sounds like you have plenty to keep you on your toes taking care of 3 small children. They hopefully help divert your attention away from the pain in some way too. Its awesome that family & friends are supportive, that goes a long way. Some people cannot wrap their brain around what it is like to have pain as we do.

Take care & keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hey Sara.Welcome to HW.

We've all got our own physical problems but we're united by the same daily struggle with pain.

Hopefully you have a Doctor or Doctors that are in your corner.

I feel lucky to have the PCP and the Pain Management Doctor that I see.I can't imagine my life without them.

I look forward to reading your Posts.

Take care and God Blress.

Rick
