    • About Me

      I am a Psychiatric Nurse to children and youth. My career stopped dead March 28th a year ago when I developed seizures and ended up in Physical Rehabilitaion for pain and loss of use of my legs. I have a Harley and just started riding a year when I was stopped cold. I am a student of Native Americans and am recovering in body mind and spirit. I have just recieved my Medical Retirement. What does one do now that they are retired with benefits. Pain is getting better each day. That is not fair to all of you who are suffering more. But the Psychological bruises still sting. I now have my disability and am thinking about what I do next.

      From stevebhopes October 19

      Thanks for the hug! I do get off of this site when I feel overwhelmed. I generally get a lot of encouragement from reaching out to people here. I think I may want to pursue counseling as a career someday. How are things going for you?

    • Close Chronic Pain

      After my second seizure ever I woke up with trmendous pain in my legs. My Pain specialist says it is due to my degenerative back.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      Good antidepressant and I have been on alot.
      Flexeril Working / Worked
      Makes me very sleepy.
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      I really have to work at it.
      Morphine Not Working
      Morphine really sucks for me.
      Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
      Helps with the pain and the seizures.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      Does well but I am afraid of addiction.
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      This is what saved my life but remember to take your pain medication before a session.
      Talking Working / Worked
      If people will take the time to listen I can get some relief.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      My neurologist want me to start eating a portion of Cannabis Daily. It is legal in our state and he has filled out the papers for this treatment to begin. Better Herbs than Opiots

    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I have been diagnosed PTSD after my stay in the hospital and childhood issues. the hospital stay was not warm and caring but intrusive and violating. I get anxieth attact from no where. Look foward to talking with others.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      Antidepressants have never worked for me but the Docs keep prescribing them. I am on Cymbalta now and I think it is working.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      I love music but when I am in the middle of a panic episode I need to reduce all stimuli.
      Paxil Not Working
      Another one of the many that did not work.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I have been to many therapist but the one I was referred to this time seems to be helping.
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      I read alot especially at night. But as I stated before, sometimes I need to stop all stimuli.
      Remeron Not Working
      Did not work as it was supposed to.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      This drug is a God send. It is literally saving my Psyche.
      Supportive Care Somewhat Helpful
      I am afraid to go in public. That is why I am on this site to get more supportive care.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I am not one to talk but this time it seems to be helping.
      Zoloft Not Working
      Another antidepressant that did not work.
    • Open Brain Injury

      I had a mild concussion which resulted in having 2 documented seizures. When I woke up from the second one I could not walk due to the extreme pain in my legs. I have been in PT OT and Speech therapy since then.

    • Open Schizophrenia

      I have felt and told I was different all my life. The Doc after sorting out everything else that is going on sent me to a very good Neurologist. He and a good Psychologist said that I have Schizophreniform disorder. So that is that. I guess you might say I am coming out. It is very hard for me to accept this being in the profession I am in. The only people who formally know are my best friend and my son and daughter.

      Treatments

      Seroquel Working / Worked
      This is the firs medication out of all the others that I have taken that works. What a relief.
      Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
      Keeps me calm when I am afraid that I am going to lose control.
