Im feeling very depressed, I am so tired of being in pain and feeling sick. DH is taking this peronally , and thinking some thing is wrong in our marriage. I have doc. visit after doc. visit. with multiple surgeries under my belt for the last 2 years. (GB,HYSTO,THYROID,HERNIA) I have been refered to the mayo clinic now for my pancrease. And wont see the other doc about digestion until feb.
I guess the reason I am writing this is because ,I want to cry , and no one even cares Im in pain ,and I need help around the house,and since i work from home . I am the perfect baby sitter for my sisters 3 kids and my brothers 3 kids.If I wanted to be a mom of 9 (counting my 3) I would have had them myself. I guess I am feeling sorry for myself .SORRY for the whining .

Dee, you have every right to be feeling down. The very first thing you need to do is learn to say NO.
Are you a SAHM, or doing another job from home? Your siblings bring their kids because you allow it, right? It is time to lay down some rules and stick to them. That alone will lighten your load and allow you time to concentrate on your own family. Being in pain is stressful and you need to bring this to your doctor's attention.
Please feel free to email me privately. I have chronic pain issues and have some idea about what you are feeling right now. I will be out this evening, but will reply as soon as I can.
