Hello everyone! I am having a bad week so far. I am feeling quite overwhelmed. I thought my friends and family understood but now I know they do not. Part of that is my fault because I do not tell them everything that is going on with me. I guess I feel alone. Right away I thought of all of you and knew you would understand.
Sunday my right eye felt awful. It was horribly dry and was swelling. Yesterday I ended up leaving work early because my left eye started having the same symptoms. I went to my eye clinic and saw a new doctor. He said I have extreme dry eye. He gave me thick eye drops. I see my Rhuemy in about 3 weeks and will mention this to her.
I hurt all the time. It is not horrible. I am still able to walk and work but am always in pain. I feel 30 years older than I am. I constantly forget things. My work is suffering because of this.
I am single and no longer feel close to anyone. My roommate and good friend does not believe in chronic pain so I never mention how I am feeling. My mom, and best friend, seems very uncomfortable talking about my health so I don't mention it to her either.
I am feeling lost and needed to talk to someone.
