Lots CKD pain from PTSD meds

Community Leadermujicaptsd

Yesterday I had one of the worst Chronic Kidney Disease neuropathy pain days I've had in the 10 years since a bad psychiatrist overdosed me with Seroquel for my PTSD nightmares.  I was in so much pain I had to go back home in the middle of the day, and I was disoriented and distracted even there. 


CKD pain is general pain all over the body because nerves are being starved of oxygen when the kidneys do not supply them with enough from its functioning.  The cruel fact when CKD neuropathy pain hits is that because most pain meds go through the kidneys, I can't take them, not even so much as an aspirin. 


It was horrible pain yesterday, it really was.  I just wanted to die, it was so bad--not literally, of course, but you know what I mean.


Please send your support for a better pain management day today.  Thank you.

What causes PTSD nightmares? Is there something in the brain that is proven to do so? Wishing you all the best Muji

Thanks, y'all. That day was a bear to get through. I'm so grateful for your support for me to get through it. It's true what arfie said, that the same tool kit that works for our anxiety works for chronic pain. That's true of how the same support that works for the one works for the other, too. I felt much more pain free yesterday. It's a mystery why CKD hurts some days and other days it doesn't, but when it doesn't I'll take it!

the ebbs and flows of life remain a mystery to all, be it the ebb and flow of the seasons, happiness or of chronic pain.

the best we can do is take life as it comes.

    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.
