About Me
Retired on disability of double S scoliosis and severe varicose veins. It took me 4 years to get social security disability. I am now taking on-line courses for a degree in social security law to help others through the night mare that lasted 4 years for me. Perhaps I can make theirs a bit less painful.

Close Depression Supporters
I had a nervous break down about five years ago. I was diagnoised with depression, panic anexiety, paranoia and borderline personality disorder. At this time, I'm on medication of cymbalta, ativan and seroquel. My symptoms have improved greatly but I still have issues with rage & anger. BTW, this all came to a head after I quit smoking and drinking. It's amazing what nicotine and alcohol can cover up. :-)
Close Scoliosis
I was born with a slight scoliosis. I had two parents who were too caught up in their own misery to give a crap about my phyiscal well being. By the time I was 15 years old it was too late and nothing could be done. I've managed to stretch and roll to keep me from getting any worse but it isn't working. I've just learned to live with it.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
- It is somewhat helpful and it does help with posture and pain but you have to keep at it. The increase in my ins. co-pay has kept me from going anymore.
Open Chronic Pain
I have a double S scoliosis which causes me severe pain in my lower back and left hip due to the twisting of my spine. I also have severe arthritis which doubles my pain and discomfort. And lastly, I have severe varicose veins in my right leg which require me to take a daily dose of asprin and wear a thigh high compression stocking so the blood will circulate through my legs. I also have to keep it elevated so to take the pressure off my leg. All of these brought about a nervous breakdown.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- It helps my neck and posture. It does aleveate some pain but not much. Helps keep my neck alighned. I love to get it cracked.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Helps somewhat with depression. Makes me tired, constipated and I sleep alot.
- Heat Working / Worked
- Have to wrop my right leg in moist heat when the advent of phlebitis comes on. Usually lasts 3 days. I also have to you dry heating pad on my right shoulder when it's cold.
- Hydrocodone Not Working
- Ended up in hospital twice because I got hooked on it and ate them like candy. They worked fabulously. Killed the pain, elevated my mood and allowed me to do normal things which hurt me in the long run. Do not recommend for those with addictive personalities.
- Marijuana Working / Worked
- It's great!!! If it wasn't illegal, I'd smoke it and drop all the other drugs. Even though there are some places where it is quote "legal" unquote, I don't trust the police to honor it even though I do have a Dr's prescription for it. When the laws concerning weed are more concrete, I will be happy to stay high all day so I don't hurt. I'll love it. It'll be like being back in the "70's". Far out man and solid!!!!!
- Methadone Working / Worked
- Deal with pain in lower back and left hip from double S scoliosis. Makes me tired, constipated and sleep a lot.
- Naproxen Working / Worked
- For my right shoulder when it really hurts from the cold. Combined with a heating pad.
