So anyone who knows me, knows I am not a woman who cries easily. I am stoic and try to overcome my disabling symptoms.
Yesterday, after seeing my useless and unfeeling doctor, I got home and the pain in my joints, the muscles tearing and the pain in my calf and back and chest reached a crescendo in a climax of searing agony. I just bowed my head and cried. Not loudly, but deep from within like a soda that's been shaken up and then uncapped.
It was messy. It was wet. But it was healing. Finally, when I had cleaned up my face and wiped my eyes, I realised that it was OK to cry. And it was healing. The pain in my chest abated. I think an occasional cry is therapeutic.
So next time you fight back tears: don't. Let the healing tears come. Have a good cry.

Crying at times can be very healing. So very sorry that going to the doctor can be so frustrating. It can be. I continue to research on the internet to educate myself in health issues. It is very frustrating to have illness and the doctor pays no attention. I finally came to the decision that I will continue to research and pray, take notes and see what others have to say about such illnesses. Doctors don't have a patent on everything. Sometimes they are just daff. Praying for them as well. Hang in there. Don't give up.
ReplyDeleteIt's as if they don't care. It's hard to find a caring one as well as a knowledgeable one. Thanks for sharing a cuppa with me, Deanna. Blessings, Glenys
