Ready to throw in the towel.....humiliating!

awwww, I'm sorry there have been so many struggles for you lately. It does sound like your neurologist is a good person and is looking out for you, so that's a good thing. It is so frustrating though, when so many things are going haywire in life. And at least your neighbors pick you up...they could just leave you there (okay, probably not, but you just never know!)

I hope everything lines up for you today, so that you're able to enjoy a really good day. I hope you feel energized and ready to face this all again. Hang in there....we're all rooting for you!

hugs,
Pam

ps: as for if anyone had a better day - I did receive a lovely compliment from my favourite 3 year old today (daughter of friends) - she told me my pink dress made me look really pretty! Yeah...it was a good day.

Fibromyalgia, Chronic daily headaches, Migraine disorder (with and without aura), GERD, High blood pressure, Depression and Anxiety

Oxycontin, Flexeril as needed, Lopressor, Lexapro, Omeprazole, Clonazepam as needed, Promethazine as needed for nausea from migraines

We all have these kinds of days - but wow am I sorry yours hit so darn hard all at once.

 

First, in an attempt to not loose your mind, try and keep the multiple problems that are all hitting at once as compartmentalized as humanly possible.  While all the problems do add up, the more you keep them separate the better you'll cope.

 

Nerve damage is rough, especially depending on how severe of damage we're talking about.  Sort of like a wire that's shorted out behind the dry wall in your home, there's days where the connection works just fine, and others where the current runs flat and nothing gets through.  While I understand the frustration your experienced in not being able to attend the game, I'm proud that you were on your way.  That's proof enough that you're not going to stop living even though life is throwing you more than one curve ball.  Keeping this attitude will always give you the highest scores so whatever you do, don't stop!

 

Unemployment battles are being shared by so many and I'm sorry this is one more thing added to your list.  With governmental budgets being strained even harder than before, it's like the whole system to slowing to a crawl thus creating even more problems.  Now I just hope that the news is right and that unemployment numbers really are on the decline and that businesses starting hiring once again so we'll have more money that will get the economy even stronger once again.  Take care, Bob.

After an accident in  1997 crushed the nerves in my pelvis, halfway down the calf and at the fibular head (knee), my left leg slowly started to turn color from the foot up, along with swelling and temp change.  Within 2 weeks I was diagnosed with RSD.  By 1999 I landed in a wheelchair and started a life taking narcotics all the time. In 2004 I got an Intrathecal morphine pump &5 years ago the RSD spread to my right leg and has done around 80% of the damage it did to my left leg in half the time. 1 1/2 years ago I went septic, and the infection did go body-wide.  After 2 days in the hospital I then had a clot in my lungs.  Both should have killed me, but this time I got lucky.  Meanwhile I've been battling blood clots for the last 4 years.  A year ago my left leg was ampuated above the knee after ging septic.  Guess that about say's it all.  Bob.

I'm glad you're still having a good day FRC and I'll pray that continues through the whole weekend. I understand how hard it is to manage stuff when there are so many problems and health issues going on at the same time. Venting is a good thing and you don't need to apologize for doing it. It helps clear the mind and gets you ready to get back into the battle.

Take care of yourself this weekend.

hugs,
Pam
