Why do you use this site?

For me it’s a mixture of wanting to vent, boredom & to hear other people’s personal opinions and views on things

I have an advance bone disease ,mixed with an autoimmune disease
so they are eating my spine ..
Surgery also caused scar tissue that has encroached sensory nerves ,and over time
it has crushed them ,,adding to my pain ..
Bone is flatting my spinal cord in 2 place ,,,and that is just part of my medical problems ,,so to say I am in pain is an understatement

So I keep my mind busy ,SW helps

It helps me avoid boredom ,and its a good distraction

I have learned over the years as I help others ,it also helps me

So ,,I share some of my life experiences ,a little advice
sometimes I get a chance to help people by sharing some of the tricks of the trades of some of the jobs/fields I have worked in (a little DYI )that has saved a few people some money ..

When they happen to be on (I sleep crazy hours ,so I am never on at any set time)
I like conversations with friends
I encourage them sometimes ,,mainly ,they encourage me

But its mainly a distraction ,,I hurt a lot less when my mind is on something else other then how bad I hurt
So that is the main reason ,,but I have other reasons ,its not all just a waste of time ,,,,
those reasons only people that take the time to know me get to hear about ,,,but I was asked to come here
I liked the people and the site ,so I stayed
