I would suggest calling your doctor and see if he/she can change any meds you are on! And I don’t believe that suicide is the answer. My older brother did about 10 years ago and his passing left nothing but devastation in its wake. Our family has never completely recovered, even now.
Please call your doctor!
Hang in there ~ you are far stronger that you give yourself credit it.
Good Luck & God Bless! ! !

🤗🤗🤗 darling It is horrible to be bedridden and in pain. We totally understand that it can push you over the edge and have suicidal thoughts.
The thoughts, the pain will pass, I don't know when. Just take it day by day hour by hour. We are all with you. Is this the worst you have ever been ?? If it's not then remember the times when it has been & you got thro that. You are a strong brave lady. Your body is hurting and needs healing so treat yourself with compassion and kindness. Destructive thoughts are not beneficial or helpful. I wish you well. Xxx

As for the flares, it really depends on the individual it can actually last a few months. Hugs
