Where can I begin...I've been in a lot of pain for the past four years since my husband and I got together my son (10) and I moved in with him on June 18th, 2002 - first time I have been on my own so it was different for me and my son. I started to get sick, in May but slowly I had just started a new medication, Zoloft. I don't feel like getting into it right now, due to the fact it is long and windy.
I was real sick in 2002 - 2003, overcoming quitting the medication and migraines I was fortunate taking myself off it with no side effects. I have been suffering from migraines for five years, they weren't as bad as they are now, I think there is a connection with a lifestyle - stress. I suffer from panic disorder, PTSD, OCD, back problems due to a crooked spine from a stroke that I had 18 years ago, a cerebral aneurysm - AVM (arteriovenous malformation) an abnormal vessel that burst in my brain that left me partially paralyzed on my right side of my body, no use with my right hand I walk with a slight limp. I suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which I just got a letter in the mail that my doctor just scheduled an appt with a doctor that he will perform the procedure in his office, that is scheduled for the 26th of this month and he is going to perform the same procedure on my husband's hand as well, the funniest thing it is on his left hand too, its odd because he is right handed and I'm left handed, strange but oh well, I'm just flabbergased that we are finally getting something done with it, I was diagnosed last year and my husband was recently diagnosed by another doctor that his family doctor referred him to. My neurologist diagnosed me with it. I did research on the Internet and hearing from our neighbor that he got both of hands done at the same time, which I find pretty stupid lol, I can only imagine what his wife had to go through doing everything for him lol.
With me only one handed it shouldn't be that bad, since we are getting it done in the doctor's office and the way the doctor told us that all he'll his thing (whatever that entails) and then stitch it up, our doctor said it is a faster recovery, but boy what I read on the Internet sounds like 6 weeks with the recovery, I don't think I could handle that long, but we'll see, it would be terrible not able to get on the computer and interact with people in the groups
and smoke lol
Anyway, what else do I suffer from...high cholestrol, fast pulse rate (blood pressure is good), I suffer from Bipolar type II more less borderline - mood swings sometimes I get racing thoughts and full of energy but not in the past 6 months or maybe more, but I can sure use the energy I'm lacking some. After I got off the pain meds (Lortabs) it has been taking a lot out of me, this was back in November of 2006, haven't gained much energy since, seems like I need to start back on my vitamins, calcium and possaium (sp) I was using it for the leg cramps that I was having in the middle of the night, waking up in dead of sleep, which takes a lot to wake me up, I could sleep through a tornado or hurricane lol really not funny but that is how sound I sleep, which is another thing I suffer from I'm on Risperdal to help me sleep.
Sometimes it sucks to be me with all my health problems. I'm in a lot of pain everyday...I know my husband gets tired of me aching and hurting, but he keeps my spirits up. I'm going to see about going to the quick care tomorrow to get my back and hand checked out and see if they can give me something for the pain, I was going to go today but it was too cold to go out and my head was killing me.
Anyway, I think that just about covers everything. I warn you I type long and windy posts lol so WATCH OUT hehe.
Take care and God Bless,
