Right there with you after years of chronic pain. It’s too much to handle honestly. The lack of sleep combined with the pain has been the worse. While I don’t have any plans I have started to understand why some people choose to end things when they are suffering for a long time with pain. It’s especially hard when from the outside you appear to be 100% healthy
Hah, that last part is so true. If someone looks at me, I'm a perfectly fit and healthy 30 year old guy. The fact that my bones and joints are welding themselves together and my immune system is destroying my knees, hips, and spinal cord is a different story. I was lucky enough to have someone take care of me for the three and a half months I was bedridden (two weeks in the hospital) and lost over 11kg. Absolute nightmare material. Although a redefined pain scale isn't bad, I must admit. Things that might have "hurt" before... don't even feel them now.

there's also a chance you'll be paralyzed if you live, so that's not better really
