    • About Me

      I am a 54 yo married man. I used to be able to fix almost anything. Now I have back problems, heart stints, trouble with my hands, high blood pressure and am on so many different meds. I am unable to do much of anything. I cannot even take care of my wife anymore. Since I have been on Lexapro and Lamictal the crying has stopped and I do not feel like ending this all everyday. However I still do not have any ambition.

    • Close Back Pain

      I joined this group because I have been dealing with cronic back pain for many years and I wanted to learn for others and maybe pass on some of what I have learned over the years.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
      I have a very good Chiropractor. However he will not adjust my neck anymore. He does help with my lower back when it gets really bad.
    • Open Degenerative Disc Disease

      I have DDD. I am interested in learning more about it and what other people have gone though so maybe I can see what I have to look forward to. Maybe I can even help someone here.

    • Open Essential Tremor

      I am not able to use my right hand to write do to a tremmor only when I write.

    • Open Financial Challenges

      This is a very big concern for my wife and I. I am on SSD and we are always struggling to keep up. Wanted to learn from others what they are doing and try to pass on things that work for us.

      Treatments

      Budgeting Working / Worked
      Came up with strick budget and stick to it.
      Cut Up Credit Cards Working / Worked
      Got rid of all that had no balance and do not use anymore at all. Are just paying as much as we can on the open ones. Use debit cards now.

    • Open Families of Prisoners

      I am an ex-Deputy Sheriff/Jail Officer. I left this position over 20 years agot in part because I could not adopt the mentality that accused was the same as guilty. Also that guilty and being incarcerated ment that you some how were less than human or like everyone else. My philosophy that just becuase you are incarcerated does not mean that you are bad, just that you did not agree with what society thinks is wrong and right.

      Treatments

      Patience Working / Worked
      I think understanding goes along with this. Understanding that there are very good people incarcerated either falsely or just because they do/did not agree with society.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking always helps if you have a good listener.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Writing is a good way to get things off of you chest.
