My poor 10yr old ds is in so much pain at the moment and so depressed now that its breaking my heart. His illness is a very long story, but to cut it short he
has endured over 6 years of very high dose steroid therapy and the side effects are terrible. His muscles are so weak that he keeps damaging the soft tissue in
his joints and he suffers severe cramps in hands, legs and feet. He is unable to go anywhere or do anything without lots of pain. Tonight he sobbed his heart
out saying he just wishes it would go away and he could be like his old self again. Of course that made me cry too, what mother wouldn't do anything to
take it all away and when you can't it hurts so much.
Sorry to be depressive but I'm so low and no-one is around to talk too here right now.

1/3/08 - Sorry I haven't replied sooner, thanks for all your comments. He's been alot better today, managing the pain better and I think its easing a bit (difficult to tell really). His consultant is sorting out some different pain relief so hopefully we'll be able to get through the tougher weeks a bit better in future. Again, thanks for being there in my hour of need.
