Thanks, y'all, for your support when I posted earlier this week about my night of PTSD nightmares.  You helped me get through that episode to enjoy blessed rest since.  PEER SUPPORT WORKS!  YAY!

Actually, that's not the whole story. I might as well share the WHOLE story of last night because I owe my blessed rest to peer support from here at DSPTSD.

Last night at bedtime my burning neuropathy pain in my hands from Chronic Kidney Disease from that doctor's overprescribing me Seroquel came back. Just speaking for myself, it is particularly ugly for me to have physical pain from taking a mental health medication.


It really hurt, and as I was lying there unable to rest because of the pain my thoughts turned to you. Seriously. I knew that there was one person on this planet who got what I was going through at that moment because she was going through the same. So I gritted my teeth and I told myself if she can get through tonight I can, too.

After about an hour, and then suddenly the burning in my hands receded and I fell asleep. I slept in through the morning, too. I got good rest.

Sending support and hopes for a good night tonight for us all.

Late to this and totally new, but I'm glad to see things are improving for you, Muji. It's terrible to have a serious medical issue as the result of a medication that was supposed to help you.

It got even better today, Laan. This day's focus was on a dental appointment to have a front tooth's crown repaired. It got installed nicely. It's nice not to grin without having a tooth missing in my smile.

    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.
