Hi, my name is dpt407066!

dpt407066

My conditions that I have are Chronic pain disorder, sacroiliac joint pain and spondylosis, everyday is a struggle for me and my wife, as I live in constant pain, my family members either think I'm lieing or they just don't want to understand, I'm mainly in bed for 17 hours a day due to the constant pain, most people I see don't believe me because they can't see my disability and that annoys the **** out of me,I'm 47 years old from Lincolnshire, have been out of work for nearly 10 years, it will be great to chat to other members who understand what I'm going through

Hi @dpt407066, welcome to the community! It's nice to meet you.

I'm sorry that things are a struggle for you: invisible conditions can be so difficult to deal with, especially when others don't really understand. 

You might like to look around our Invisible Impairments and Dealing With Chronic Pain categories and become acquainted with some of our members. Feel free to post at any time, and do let us know if there's anything we can assist you with too!
