..........People tell me to get out and exercise to lose a few pounds then I won't have aching knees, sore shoulders, and an serviceable back, but they don't walk in my shoes.............
An unhealthy and unfit body prolong the recovery process of the body, even to the extent of influencing the Pyschological state of mind. And that is not something to just say to piss you off. It is a Proven Fact. Exercise has been proven to release chemicals into the body that make us feel better, Do you realy need a better reason to get your arse of the sofa. Obviously the exercise has to be in line with physical restrictions, I has taken me steady exercise and a revamped diat to get me off the 100kg mark down to 89kg, Which isn`t a lot, but a better diat and exercise over a long period are to thank that I now keep that weight.
..........Half the time medication does not remove any of the pain, it only dulls it slightly. I am not 50 yet, how am I meant to have a quality of life with this....................
So if meds do not remove the pain and only dull it slightly 50% of the time, then surely you must be open to try any and all options and alternatives!
The main two advocates, Wagon and I have mentioned often enough alternatives that work if you are open minded enough to try them, and we both seem to be doing a damn site better than the majority of the forum.
Unfortunately most other options tend to not be covered by normal health cover. I would hate to think what I have spent out of my own pocket, But then I am better today for it, considering where I was at with the help from"Medical Profesionals"
I know siting and festering in our own pity is easier than getting off your arse and going and getting the help that is out there, F*ck I spent long enough there myself.
.................I know now why people choose the ultimate way to remove it permanently..............
Welcome to the club! Being backed into a corner far and long enough to choose Suicide over Help is in my opinion, the option of someone who has not accepted that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, however small and dull it is.
Is it the right thing to do? well I though so at the time, and yes there are still times when it crosses my mind.Yes it will end your pain and suffering but in the same moment causes more for those around you who care, even if we can not see that they care.
Given the right circumstances I would probably choose the option agasin, But with where I am today I am happy with what I have achieved, and so it is an option tucked away in a draw for a rainy day.
I has taken me a long time to get my physical and psychological pain to a point that allthough it is still there it no longer directs my life and usualy sits in the background, and only rear their heads when I do not pay attention to the signals my body is sending me.
And as for those shoes, well no they haven`t walked in yours, But then have you walked in theirs?
Listening to some one moan and complain about the same thing on a regular basis certainly gets on my tits.
I have said it often enough to various members here on the forum which has no doubt pissed many off and even got me banned, but then I say it to the world at large as well. So if your feeling dainty move your toes please!
So If someone wants help and is ready to accept what little I can offer then I will help as best I can. But if that same person is not going to get their shit together and go do something about their problems then they realy do need to stop f*cking whining.
