Another rant, sorry

[DarknessEmbraced]

Sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time!*hugs* I really hope things get better for you! I feel the same way when it comes to my health. Everything seems to go wrong at once! I finally have my GI appointment on April 13th to find out why I'm in constant pain, have cramping and other bowel issues. Rant all you need! It's good to get it out!*hugs*

[AppleTree]

When I am overtired or don't feel well - I rant too. I would say you have alot to rant over. It is frustrating. I hope you get the pain away soon, so you can rest. And then hopefully the rest will follow. Feel better soon.

I am still fairly new to this suckiness but I think it is perfectly ok to feel pissy sometimes. My wife tells me that I should be more positive to which I reply "I am positive that all this sucks." Sorry you are having such problems lately.

Aw Nik, you go right ahead and rant. You have every right to, that's too much crap on top of the cancer crap and the typical life crap. It's all crappy sometimes. So bitch, moan, cry, scream, get it out. Keeping it in just doesn't work sometimes. It won't really help but at least your head won't explode. It's so hard to stay positive all the time. This is your safe place & we get it Sweetie. Eventually it will pass & you will be your own sweet self again. Hope you feel better soon. Hugs. XXOXO, Delinda

Re: my letting it out advise

I saw my wonderful PCP for a routine minor problem recently. This was about a month after my dx of a new second primary cancer. She asked how that was going and I burst into tears. (The first time I have cried about this.) This amazing doctor let me cry and babble for over an hour and held me while I cried. When I apologized for taking up her time she said better to let it out here than have it manifest some other way. So from time to time we all need a good cry - doctor's orders!

Thank you all for the replies.

Ron50, sorry to hear of your issues as well, hugs

[Ron50]

same crap just a different disease and day Nik. We cancer survivors get a lot of practice. Ron.

Nik, I'm sorry you feel like you are getting hammered this week. Hopefully, the acute nasty stuff will pass soon. Hard to live a normal life when you are not feeling normal. Peace, to you Bob

Nik,

Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. I hope you start feeling better soon! Will keep you in my thoughts and send healing vibes your way.

I keep telling the nurses at the hospital I frequent that they need to start some sort of rewards program for those of us that are frequent fliers... So far I haven't gotten very far with it

[Nik Colon]

Thanks everyone

So sorry that you are going through this terrible time Nik. Sometimes when I read my "list of conditions" I think "Really? I can't have everything can I?"

I know you must feel the same way. When you are too tired to enjoy even the simple things it does get overwhelming. I can't even imagine losing your senses of smell and taste. Rant away and we will listen and many of us will join the rant. Hoping things are better soon.

[Travelgirl]

Hang in there Nik. I know exactly how your feeling.

My last four years has been the one thing after the other too. Plus with added infections and viruses too.

We all have those days, weeks and months it seems like.

I do hope your feeling better soon my friend..

Good Bless and I Will pray for you.

[Nik Colon]

Thank you

I hope you are feeling better my dear. I have been thinking about you lately. You can't seem to catch a break.
I feel your frustrations honey. We are on a similar journey.
The way you have persevered is amazing. I follow you on here whenever I can. I find you insightful.
All I can say is " Hang in there and cherish the good days because there will be good days ahead. Make them count. " (((HUGS)))

[WriterGirl1969]

Just tired of all this. If it's not one thing it's another.

Hey Nik.

I can't imagine the extreme suckiness of having to go through all of that crap at the same time. It's not fair. It's rotten. Plus the shear lack of sleep is probably wreaking havoc. Sleep deprivation can be the worst. Hard to stay positive when you're exhausted and feel like poop. Bleeding from your ear? Ugh! It almost sounds like a perforated ear drum. Wonder if maybe that's impacting your smell/taste, since sinus stuff is all connected to ears. Hopefully they can do something for you soon to at least let you be comfortable and sleep.

I'm so new here, I can't really say much that's helpful, but I'll say this. You inspire me. I see you reply to folks here, giving advice, information, comfort and laughter. Even the rant - it's nice to see that it's okay to let yourself feel crappy about everything once in a while. I can't say I'm happy that anyone has to be on this site. I wish no one did. Including you. Including me. But since we do have to be, I can say I'm glad to have gotten to meet you. My prayer list grows and grows, but everyone here gets priority. Ultimate playing of the cancer card. You are at the top of my list. I hope that God cradles you and gives you the peace that passes all understanding. And of course, I hope He kicks the butt of your illnesses. All of them. In the meantime, RANT AT WILL!!!

Hugs and prayers from me.
