It's so wearing

I've always known (intellectually, at least) that it isn't about the INTENSITY of pain, it's about it not going away: persistence, in other words.

I guess I'm really fortunate that this is my first experience of this, but - frankly - I've really had enough of this.

I've never (I think) been one to whinge about my health (ill or otherwise), but I'm not sure how much more of this I can take, plus the issue that the painkillers I'm takings are seriously addictive.

I badly need a break ...
