I’m thankful for the fact that people are able to moan about things like FaceBook being down. Life must be pretty good on the whole if something that insignificant causes problems. Yes we might not be able to tweet a picture of our lunch but at least we have food in our belly, a warm house, are not being sent off to fight a war, etc.
But most of all I'm thankful for my health. My illness is in remission and so I never take it for granted how lucky I am to be able to do the everyday things that once felt like they were unattainable

I have a rare disease which has developed into chronic pain, as my body works differently to others I was on high doses which made me very unwell, have you spoken to a GP about your pain? I'm on lots mainly Amitriptyline
Gabapentin
Steriods for inflammation and an Immunosuppressants
As I said above this is for a rare disease so I don't know how they'd work for other people hope this helps. I would definitely contact my doctor
❤️
During my better times I get on with various activities to distract me from my conditions. So sorry to everyone on this Forum, I'm not normally moaning, just when the pain gets unbearable...
I'm grateful I've got my lovely cat, Lancelot, to keep me company!
@Oxonlady No need to apologise. We understand that to have chronic pain must be difficult. I really feel for you and wish I could wave a magic wand.
I know you mentioned before that gentle massage might help you. I'm wondering out loud, but is it worth asking your GP about referral to a physiotherapy service, where they could visit you in your home to do this? Maybe that could be something to explore.
Bless little Lancelot!! My cats say hello to him
