Living everyday with cancer and pain is a struggle I cannot express into words. I am now habitually awake in the wee hours of the morning because of the pain, and it's escalating. Unfortunately, I am extremely sensitive to opiates so I rely on over-the-counter medications to alleviate the pain. Moderately effective relief, but enough to enable me to function. Walking is painful because of the numbness to my feet and my hands have difficulty grasping things because I am unable to fully bend my fingers. The sensitivity to hot and cold can be downright excruciating. The skin on my hands and feet is also peeling and cracked.
My energy level is waning gradually. Walking around the supermarket is enough to make me short of breath. Most days I find myself physically molded onto my sofa cushions.
Gee, I wonder why I’m so depressed.
