Pain...thou art a b!#(h


It's been a week now that I have been working out and eating right. Of course, there has been a few occasional eating out but overall I have been a very good girl.

I was recently doing my research on low fat diets for Gout and realised I have three ailments and all of them are related with pain.

Gout which basically is the worst and most painful kind of arthritis. I mean really I am a 24 year old female with Gout and trust me, the attacks are extremely painful.

Fibromyalgia, which is basically pain on trigger points and I seem to have most of them. Everyday normal work sometimes becomes a task for me. I mean sometimes simple tasks like brushing teeth or washing my hair becomes so painful, it is unimaginable. Of course initially I used to complain about this pain, but now I have realised people either thing I am lying or they are simply bored of it. Unfortunately, it is still there, alive and well in me and the pain is still a good friend.

PCOD, which is polycystic ovary, which means cysts in my ovary. Though the pain is much less now, sometimes I have bad attacks and i wonder why after so much medication these buggers do not go. Urghh...

So, in total pain seems to be a constant factor in my life. I sometimes wonder (by Hindu belief) maybe I was a complete asshole and must have made a lot of people suffer, for me to suffer so much from pain now. I mean, trust me when I say this, sometimes I wish I was dead, rather than live with so much pain. I do not remember a single day in the last 5 years where I have not felt pain in some part of the body.

Anyway, as they say, 'you can't beat them , join them', I have thus, decided to do so by embracing pain and am slowly learning to live with it.
