[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 81268, member: 2389"] GG your post could have been talking about my mom. Take into consideration that one has to come to terms with the fact that they can no longer do the things they once did. Extreme pain itself will put you in a brain fog. You can't carry on a conversation. you can't concentrate enough to read, all you can do is isolate yourself from any stimuli and hope to get in a position that eases it some. Depression is very likely. Most of the things you posted I have witnessed in my mom. She came out of her shell when my Dad (her caretaker) was diagnosis'ed with Parkinsons. He stopped being able to be the caretaker. There are many things that neither of them can do now. Sometimes just getting out of bed is the only thing she can accomplish. Without going into all her diagnosis'es, she had to use all the medications that have been discussed, just to be able to bare the pain. I, at one time, had the same feelings towards the medications my mom was on. My dad, like said in an earlier post, was losing his wife and was too close to the situation to do anything. It has been with an open mind and an open heart that I was able to understand what she had to deal with on a daily basis. I understand now that she was doing all she could do to survive the pain. Those that don't suffer from the pain of these diagnosis'es, really can't imagine how hard it is to deal with. I think staying asleep in bed is one of the only escapes my mom had from enduring it.
