and if I had your fentanyl, oxy's, morphines, opana, and stuff, I wouldn't be crying either. pain is pain. Period. it knows no age, no diagnosis, my brain may see your pain as small, and mine and...
and it just so happens I am on my way to meet with the director of ER to tell them how I was treated worse than an animal when last brought in by ambulance for seizures.....guess they feel the same...
no, it wasn't worth asking on here. I know what will probably happen. have any of you ever been desperate bc the excruciating part won't stop? I know what it is to live with pain, to tough it out,...
just stop. I can't take this from you guys right now. I shouldn't have said that ONE comment but STOP IT. I do not frequent the ers. The last time I was in the er was for a seizure and taken by...
Effexor made me anxious and almost manic feeling. I liked Remeron, especially for sleep. Unfortunately it caused RLS, but It really helped me sleep....
A few days ago I was startled (my mom thought it was a good idea to stand over me to "check on me" and I screamed and jumped up). When I woke up I couldn't move my shoulder and was in extreme pain....
I"m sorry, and your not alone. Part of me says I wish this pain on no one, but the other part of me says, "if just for one day, or week or even one hour I felt what I do...!". I wish this with drs so...
OH friend, you're in my prayers. I don't know how you hang on but I admire every part of you that continues this journey. There are lots of viruses going around so maybe its not involving you'r port...
i have begged my dr's many times before to do endo surgery but they all say it will just make the scar tissue worse(said it looked like spaghetti inside my abdom. ) and it most likely will grow back...
will surgery be a replacement of the joint? (i hope I looked up the right thing)...
I've been told after 30 min to hour, if your not sleep yet, get up and do something productive. Also the bed should only be for sleep. I am bad about sitting in bed watching TV, on the computer, etc...
sorry if repeated as I didn't read comments. Have you ever tried anything like Trazadone (if you want to go the med route)? It is also a mood stabilizer and could help with he panic/axierty part....
I have been attempting to find a nerve pain med that actually works. The Gabapentin I cannot tolerate over 100mgs, and that knocks me flat out. Amitriptyline, doxepin and others don't help too much...
Thank you all so much. Really. The hardest part of this, is most assume since its not "medical" but rather mental, one should have control over it. I have been told "stop having seizure in a hospital...
i can totally relate to the "whats happening" went you make is less though. I hope you have many many more of those days!...
I realize I often sound like I'm just complaining or making excuses and I apologize for that....
Vicki, i totally hear you. My signature dx's are only a few of many. My arm is a chemical burn with massive scarring and muscle and nerve damage inside out. Emg just affirmed this. My shoukder will...
i can totally understand an insurance company not paying anything is cause of death is ruled as suicide. but this was many many years ago, and now I can't plan for my future. My cousins husband died...
Dixie-do you still have the virus? Google doterra shingles...i have seen people get so much relief out of the oils...you can put IN your eye but you can dilute and apply around the cheek bone and...
Diazepam works really well for me, even though a lot of PMs don't like to write it, either sometimes. Its was a godsend post op. I hate the way zanflex makes me feel after i take it. It seems to...
I have a LONG history of Mental health care. I have been on basically every med in the book. Dr's literally pull out "The book" and go down this list to see what I can try next. I have had ECT, and...
I am 30 y/o and have been looking into things like life insurance, and so have my parents many years ago, as I have had several surgeries, procedure, illnesses, etc. Somehow, after a failed s....
So, I don't think I talk about this dx much, as its really hard to accept, understand, and not be embarrassed by. I'm honestly wondering if it is a correct dx or just some kind of explanation dr's...
I'm miserable really. I too can't understand why the same clinic 3 months ago had me on Oxycontin and Morphine, but suddenly 3 moths later, I have to see the PM DR and not the NP, and he"s taken me...
i feel you. But I would do anything to have a PM dr say "i will help your pain". Mine says, "Pain meds are only ever going to help pain less than 40%" and just took me from regular pain meds for...
you are the one reason I try and not complain so much on here and have shown me to be grateful for even the smallest of things! I don't know how you do it. God bless you...
but I do appreciate your words. People can complain plenty on here but its hard to give/recieve empathy......
i feel stupid bc so many have it much worse than I do...but I see those people talk about the husband that supports them, or the son they have to be here for, or the neighbor to get mail for....I...
its sad as pain doesn't know one diagnosis vs another and has no age barrier, yet those are the 2 things that define the "treatment" or attempt at relieving of any pain. I am so tired of other people...
What keeps you guys "fighting" I'm really feeling like I have nothing to fight for anymore... no kids, husband, friends, job....they say one day at a time but when the next day is the same, or worse...
tonight the only word i can think of is DONE. i am so done. I am tired of this. Will it be this way forever? Why am I forced to do this every single day, all alone, but everyone says "keep fighting"...
have you had a tick bite by chance?...
I"m usually on the CP forum but had a question (sorry for TMI) I had a temp. colostomy after a Trauma but was able to have it reversed about 6 weeks after. But since then, I have an issue having a...
after my colostomy was reversed, I had severe pain in the area where the stoma was. After several nerve blocks they went in and did a nerve ablation and found a hernia. But that ablation stopped my...
Thanks Vickie. I did go to a walk-in today as my bp as been around 89-100 all day. No infection or virus. I go to GP tomorrow to get some blood work and such but maybe it is just the titration. Makes...
can I ask what is MPS and CPS? My sister had bariatric surgery, but a different kind that actually causes mal-absorbstion on purpose. They said they are seeing more and more people dx'ed with things...
i come to you guys as you seem to have a lot of knowledge. Recently as you may know, I've been coming off higher doses of Pain meds, but I haven't been stopped and still take pain meds daily. soon...
if that nerve block works, I wonder if they can do an ablation of that nerve??? I"m sorry you didn't get the relief I know you were so hoping for. Hang in there....
I know that am EMG is often done to test for nerve damage and muscle pain. Since my MRI was normal do you think this would be a good test to see if something else is going on?" maybe?...
oh man we bought a small kids trampoline for my niece. Warning-if it states "two adult assembly required" just don't buy it! lol I got it done, bum arms and all and pray it actually will hold her up...
is the pain over that kidney with the possible cyst? I"m sorry you have to deal with this now, and I hope it can be resolved quickly and easily....
how long was this? A sprain can hurt for several months too. Can you describe the pain you have? i.e.: burning, sharp, dull, tingling, etc.... What makes it worse/better? is it constant, fluctuating,...
have you been asked about doing an EMG? It test the nerves and muscles....
yes Mercy & Grace I will still be locked in for all my meds, but I can choose to switch my lock-in pharmacy. I just fear CVS doing to same as walgreens has, and they are so nice and understanding. I...
so here it is past 3 am yet again and I am so tired but can't sleep. I can't tell if anxiety causes not being able to sleep, or not being able to sleep anxiety. If anyones up Feel free to respond. I...
I don't want to die, but I don't want to live like this. I don't feel like there is much I can do to change my life. I do know there are things I can do to increase quality of life to an extent but I...
i haven't had a seizure in a LONG time, I just got my license back... I was at PT for shoulder surgery and woke up in an ambulance, apparently having seizures. when wheeled into the hospital i heard...
Frankincense Essential oil has really helped me and so many others with seizures. Its so worth researching. google "doterra frankincense seizures" or 'Young Living Frank Seizures" for example. Also...
I have what is Dx'ed as Psychogentic Non-epileptic seizures, with possible mixed epileptic episodes. Its soo hard and so confusing. I say go to a Epilepsy Specialist, have a week long video EEG, and...
I haven't had migraines in a very long time. But this week I have had the worst headache. (I was taken off morphine and down to oxycodone,) but the headache is now different. I have SEVERE pains when...
