What do you do when you get no relief at all? No medicine you take gives you relief. No exercise relief?

 Having a very painful day and the pain just wont go away. I am just tired of being in Pain EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They say I have RSD which is a chronic pain disorder. I think its a garabarge diagnosis. I think I have symptoms like RSD but have something they can fix. But they choose not to.

 I just want a VACATION from the PAIN!!!!!!!

I'm sorry I have no advice on how to deal with your pain and I hope someone else around here can help. I do want to say Welcome to Disaboom, because I saw this is one of your first few posts. This is a great place to get advice because normally there's someone who's in a similar situation. You can also vent here, and that may help relieve stress, thus relieving pain.

Hey Jenn, My name is Sandy. There are a lot of people here that understand what you are feeling. I for one. I have Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis and I do not remember what it felt like to have a day without pain. I am only 51 but I feel a lot older. 

Many of us have tried many things to help our pain. Some meds. help some people and the same med. won't help the next person. People with Chronic Pain will never be without pain like they use to be. The drs. will try many meds. on you, I pray they will find one that takes enough pain so you can cope with it.

I have learnt how to live with my pain. Everyone with Chronic Pain do learn how to live with it. It just takes time to know what will hurt you in the long run and how much you can take. I can't walk, sit or stand for long periods of time. 

If you want more help and understanding try going to "Living with the Pain of Fibromyalgia". We call it our little Village. Everyone is Kind and Understanding. There are so many people that don't understand that sort of pain, but we do.

Take Care and Gentle Hugs {because hard ones hurt}, Sandy

 Hi Jenn,

Check your blog.  I wrote a response to you there.  I like Sandy, invite you to join us at Living with the Pain of Fibromyalgia.  There are several of us who suffer with the pain of fibro. along with some other conditions.  

It's always a relief to have a "good" day.....break from the unrelenting pain. I hope you enjoyed it.  You deserve it!
