I understand completely. I have been suffering with Crohn's disease for over 20 years. I was recently on prednisone for three years and on and off of it in the last 20+ years. I have now been off of it since March. I am scheduled for cataract surgery for both eyes soon. I am petrified. I understand your artwork and it resonates beautifully with the way that I feel as well. It will get better. Art is a great form of relaxation. Try to focus on good things. Be thankful for what you do have. I do understand that every day is a new adventure. Every day I wake up with a new ailment due to the various medication's that I take. Keep up with your art. Keep up with your good happy memories. Take the love that surround you from family and friends. Focus on the good. Attitude is extremely important. I say a prayer for you and send you love and strength.

You are very sweet. I realize there are people suffering far worse than me but pain is pain and it?s hard to escape from it. I try everyday. I try my best to have good thoughts. It?s people like yourself who make it possible everyday to get up and be strong. Thank you so much for your kind words and I pray for strength for you as well.
Thank you for your wonderful and personal review. :)

This is a very expressive image. Your use of colour tells a story in itself. The expression on her face and the positioning of her body is well chosen and depicted. Art is a great outlet, I am glad to see you expressing yourself visually, it is vital to a full recovery. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing this

The pain and depression shows in this interesting image. I like the effect you created with the "flames".
I will keep you in my prayers as you walk through this difficult time.

Well this is a fine portrayal of you and your despair as your ailments seem to surround you, yet you chose yellow, two thirds and only one third grey. Yellow the sunshine comlow with lighter patches, I think you are there pushing through subconsciously battking your way out its a moving picture and story.

Thank you for this. I had asthma as well was put on puffers but I don?t seem to have the breathing issues. All my test show my lungs are doing well since prednisone. So maybe prednisone helped me with that. It has many side effects though and really makes you feel horrid. They got me down to 10mg per day. Yeah for that.
Thanks again

The power of this scene almost brings tears to my eyes. The fires of hell are all consuming. The agony in the face of the human is perfectly depicted. The black background continues give us mood of the artwork. Our prayers and our hope that you will find some relief soon.

Wow. I feel your pain. This shows how you are so desperately seeking to crawl out of the pain and depression that has been holding you prisoner for a long time. You can do one step at a time.

Very effective and I can empathize with your pain. I have spinal stenosis, a prior surgery and need another, but they say it could cause more damage than good. So I am always in pain. Pain is very heavy, indeed. I take depression meds too. Please don't feel alone. Nothing lasts forever. I don't take pain meds anymore because they are no longer effective. Get off Prednisone if they can do something else. This is a well developed message theme. From darkness to fire...back and forth. Keep fighting and break the cycle. I hear you through this digital creation. Nice job

Thank you so much for the review. Honestly, you describe it perfectly. You do understand. I hope you are no longer having pain and yes I?m weaning off the prednisone and so far so good. Thank you so much for the six. Greatly appreciated.

Yes pain continues, but I try to complain and keep going. You're quite welcome

Comment from Ray Gordon
I find it very hard to comment on the pain and suffering that you have endured through out your life and the pain and suffering you are presently facing, a living hell. On the positive side, you are a very talented Photographer and an artist who wants to go further, you have a supportive family and a lovely daughter. You have no choice but to be strong and get though it, but you know that already. This piece you have here is an excellent expression of your bane and how you are trying to deal. Your body, heart, and soul are in it, You will have swings hang in they will pass and pick up that palette knife and enjoy. Ray

Thank you so much. It?s been a rough year and a half but I do see some healing in the future. I was recently told that I have not only osteoarthritis but I have the autoimmune disease psoriatic arthritis in every joint of my body. So now I have two autoimmune diseases (one can cause blindness and the other can put me in a wheel chair with a lot of pain). I have faith that healing is in my future.

I?m so sorry my dear friend. I have Elhers Danlos Syndrome kyphoscoliosis type. I almost died a half a dozen times. My spine collapsed twice. I have two rods and 26 screws holding my spine.

Omg that sounds like my cousin. Terrible. I hope your pain isn?t terrible any more. 🙏🏼
