Ironic CKD pain from PTSD med doc overdose

Community Leadermujicaptsd

I had a bad CKD neuropathy pain day yesterday from my bad pdoc's PTSD meds overdose that damaged my kidneys for good.  But I pushed through and exceeded my 3km per day walking goal by walking 3.99km anyway.  Plus, my s/o's 16 year old daughter and 13 year old son played a little basketball with me, too.  By playing, I mean I stood at the foul line and took shots, because I can't walk without a cane and dribbling and canes aren't very compatible.  But it was really fun to remember my younger, nimbler days and shoot some hoops.


The neuropathy pain has stepped up this month in a new way I haven't experienced before in the 11 years I've had CKD from that psychiatrist's overdosing me with Seroquel that ruined my kidneys.  What's crazy about that is that I'm happier and more active than I've been in the past 11 years.  I tell friends that Muji inside there is really doing great, it's the package that is the body that Muji comes in that's not so great.  Life's filled with ironies.


Support is welcome for me to muster the strength to live through this irony right now.  Gracias.

Admire your tenacity....you have one fierce fight in you!
So sorry life has dealt you such a hand, but it's so nice to hear you have been able to enjoy life in spite of it all.

the enthusiastic nature of my three orphans taxes my senior biology on a routine basis but the gain is worth the pain. all that happiness ain't free, you know. the sharing the joy of children is far more enriching than laying around with nothing but my geezer complaints. i often think these children will be the death of me, but. . . it ain't happened yet and i more often feel like they have given me extra somethings to live for.

steadying support while you find your new balance.

Thanks, y'all, it's great to get your help in my work to find that balance between mind and body. Few are as keenly aware as those of us with PTSD that such a mind/body connection is a very real condition of our daily functioning, so thanks with your support for me to have the daily strength for it.

I got 3.37km walked yesterday what with walking with my s/o's 13 year old son and shooting hoops with him afterwards for an hour. It was great, except for how my CKD neuropathy pain acted up afterwards. Maybe shooting hoops for a half hour would be a better idea.

in marshalling my 68 year old physics to keep up with my 3 foster kids, i take it play-by-play while keeping a mindful running inventory of my own condition. i go when my inventory says i still can and rest when the inventory says i am tired.

seems to me that deciding my limits ahead of time blinds me to the times i guessed wrong. that, in turn, all too easily causes me to push harder and/or hold back when life turns out different than what i expected. taking it play-by-play lets me participate without undue prejudice.

Thanks, lilmiss. It got bad yesterday, such that instead of walking my 3km daily goal I walked only 1.5km instead. :-(

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
