Today I sit with a heating pad and trying to make the best of another bad day.  When am I going to get a break from all of this crap.  I think if I would get a light reprieve the day in and day out of being chronically ill would be easier to take.   I am going through a long period of not feeling well and on top of not feeling well I am in extreme pain on a constant basis.  So many people write just make the best of it, how do you make the best of pain?  I mean really, you must not be in the same state of agony I am in if you can say this sort of thing.  If you can make the best of it, you must have moments of feeling okay and times when you feel shitty.  For a very long time I haven't had moments of feeling okay, I just feel shitty.
