As a preface, I am going to whine in this post. It's very personal, not usual for me, I think. Yes, there are folks dealing with far larger piles of shit, but I can only look at the world through my own set of eyes. I'm going to whine about it to help purge this frustration. Feel free to walk on by.
I am being advised to start on a new injectable medication to forestall continued damage from yet another autoimmune disorder. Get one autoimmune disorder and you're likely to get more. Dang.
Since I work from home, the risk of heightened susceptibility, from taking this med, to infections is reduced. Yay. Hopefully I won't develop lupus from it. I don't want to use this med, but I also don't want to deal with the repercussions of not doing so (for instance, I sort of like being able to see). But I'm so tired of being in pain. I'm tired of bring tired. I'm grieving the loss of youth and the health I had during it. I thought I paid my dues when I had to deal with cancer. But, no. Fuck stick. Shit.
Sigh.
Ok. Purge complete. I feel better now. Someone pour me a wee dram of a nice single malt...
Shall I admit how selfish I feel for posting this?

Hang in there kiddo. Life is fleeting as age comes to take us all. For some it's a trek deprived of comfort and there's nothing wrong standing up to be counted in its numbers with a loud and long objection. I hope to see you around here for a long time if you can. Take care and give a nod to the meds that will take the edge off.
"Whining" is continual complaining about trivial matters. Your comment is something entirely different. We all need to share our pain and troubles. The stiff upper lip and biting the bullet are much overrated.
I hope the new medication works well for you.
Remember.....
You aren't alone..... there is usually someone on line .... so feel free to have a moan when you need.... you've helped so many .... maybe its your turn for a little support now.
Sorry to hear about this cyberlyn! I hope the posted risks for this medication are the exception and you thrive a while longer!
Thank you all. I appreciate your kind words so very much. I have decided that I will indeed start the med.
If you feel the need to whine some more, go right ahead!
Kick ass too if it helps. Oh, you did? All I can say is that you have absolutely nothing to feel the tiniest bit selfish about. It's only the truly selfish who never make apologies.
You'll get only support and admiration from my end. That this is the first time I've ever heard about this speaks to your strength. Push on for now, Cyber.
Thank you for sharing. It reminds all of us we are all alone on our own ships sailing our own paths
