    Give TiredOfLivingInPain a hug



    • Hug

      From TunaMan January 14, 2008

      I wrote this poem several years ago and hope that you will enjoy it and that it may give comfort and reassurance into the meaning of life. It goes as follows: LIFE'S JOURNEY I pray that God will bless you At the start of each new day And grant you health and happiness And friends to share your way As you journey through this life To reach that Ultimate Goal May you find peace and happiness Deap within your soul The road is long and narrow Full of trials and sufferings too But you must continually endure it As the appropriate thing to do Each of us has a tunnel Either filled with thorns or roses We must travel through the thorny tunnel To achieve heaven and the roses.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      During pregnancy in 2002 I began having head & ear pain, lost baby, pregnant in 2003, still hurting, lost the baby, have degenerative disc disease, migranes, peripheral neuropathy, vision loss at times,hurts to even take a bath, sometimes I cry in the tub, very upset & unhappy, don't go out much, very, very tired & frustrated, guess I do feel sorry for myself even though I am not supposed to. I realize it could be much worse. Been to Vanderbilt, UofL, you name it.

      Treatments

      Flexeril Not Working
      Did nothing.
      Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
      Been on it since 2003, tired of it, helps very little now.
      Pets Working / Worked
      Does not help my pain at all but she is a good friend who does not judge me.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      does help with the neuropathy, makes the numbness & tingling better
      Orthopedic Brace Somewhat Helpful
      just started this one, fairly new drug, helps after epidural injections
    • Close Migraine Headaches

      Have suffered chronic daily headaches for several years, migranes as long. Devestating migranes, have auras, naseau & vomiting, severe pain on one side of my head.

      Treatments

      Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
      took it so long now it is getting ineffective
    • Open Environmental Allergies
      Type of allergy: Allergic Rhinitis

      I've had allergies for several years, I didn't like shots & insurance didn't want to pay for anything much. I think my very cluttered & messy & Shih Tzu certainly contribute.

      Treatments

      Allegra Somewhat Helpful
      The Allegra D really does the trick, the plain allegra doesn't.
      Allergy Shots Too Soon to Tell
      Only took them a while, very inconvenient.
      Rhinocort AQ Working / Worked
      Good stuff. Steriod nasal spray seemed to help but my insurance won't pay.
      Benadryl Somewhat Helpful
      helps with the sneezing & does make me more comfortable.
    • Open Personality Disorders
      Type: Paranoid Personality Disorder

      I was diagnosed just this week with paranoid disorder with agoraphobia. Scary & makes me nervous.

      Treatments

      Emotions Anonymous (EA) Considering
      I'd like to know more about this group, I'd love to visit one.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      met a friend online who helps me talk about things
      Xanax Somewhat Helpful
      This is supposed to be taken before entering a social situation, still need a little time.
    • Open Miscarriage

      I had a perfect baby girl in 1996, my whole life got better. In 2002 I got pregnant with my son Ethan, the pregnacy was hard, bleeding, I lost him at 20 weeks. Pregnant again in 2003 & lost baby at 10 weeks. I was devastated, broke my heart. I delivered Ethan, had a funeral & a place to visit his grave. That means the world to me. At first I couldn't understand but now maybe I didn't need to more kids now that I am so sick. I'd be happy to talk to anyone who needs to talk, my support was my girl

      Treatments

      D&C Working / Worked
      Did this the 2nd time, first time I was in labor 72 hours to hold Ethan. 2nd time I had to do D&C.
      Grief Counseling Not Working
      Only tried a little but I didn't like to tell it to anyone at the time, until years later.
      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      Took it way to long before my family doctor changed me to Zoloft.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Helped my moods be elevated, but made me really calm.
      Crying Working / Worked
      This caused comfort to my heart & let me see that I may never know the reasons.
