My new diagnosis - God hates me.

Stroke, cartilage missing in neck, metal rods in my back, fibromyalgia, and Interstitial cystitis - yep, he hates me.

What would a day without pain look like? I sure don't remember.

And yes, I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Even low level chronic pain is difficult to put up with.
I also think it is highly under treated, IMHO.

No metal rods, but a myriad of maladies and generally in a lot of pain. You have my support FWIW

My problem is different, but I am in pain almost 24/7. Sleeping, fortunately, is still pretty ok, but other than those 7-8 hours, UGH. Hope something can be done to relieve your pain. I know it is hell.

We're members of the club nobody wants to belong to.

Just have to take it day by day. I was a little better this morning. How are you doing?

screwed up. I fell asleep at 2:00 am, woke up at four, was awake until noon and then slept until four pm. I just feel like crap.

I'm glad you feel some better. Take care!
