Calling out for help with PTSD pain

Community Leadermujicaptsd

Well, I had a great series of good walking days, but today wasn't one of them.  Because of my kidney damage from a bad doc's overdoing it with Seroquel prescriptions for my PTSD nightmares, I have nerves dying in my legs from lack of oxygen in my blood.  



I feel shooting lightning sharp pains from my hip down to my toe when one of those main nerves in my legs finally dies from being starved of oxygen.  That happened this morning and the pain lasted into the evening, so there was no walking for me.  The nerve damage is why I was in a wheel chair 3 times last year, and yet each time I got back on my feet with the help of a cane.



Hope I can get up and going again tomorrow.  Support welcome.

Muji Big hugs, thats all I have at the moment (struggling bad right now due to losing Abby sunday) But i will say My Dr is shocked everytime she gets my labs after i was on MOtrin 800mg 3 to 4 times a day for OVER 20 years, non stop on top of many other meds that went thru the kidneys, my Kidneys work BETTER than the best level in rage on the labs. My kidneys work better than in a normal completely healthy person. I do not know how but i am very grateful! BUT I will also NEVER go back on Motrin 800 again, my stomach is so damaged from it! Also what happened to you is part of why I am now very careful on checking into how risky meds are to my kidneys AND my liver before taking anything! My Dr and pharmacist are very thourough as well. I will be keepign you in my prayers tonight!

Thanks, y'all, each and every one. As you've seen, this CKD pain immobilizes me from time to time, and your push of support gets me going again every time. I'm not totally pain free today, but I was able to get out for a minimal 1km walk, thanks to you. Gracias!

Beryl367, I only walked 1km again today, but I was glad like you were for me just to get up and out. Thanks for supporting me about that.

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
