Dearest Friends,
Sigh, where to begin. It has been a long 6 years living with a tbi. I was doing fair considering the extensive bleeding in the back of my brain around the occipital area.
Then I had to have a hystorectamy about 2 maybe 3 years after the tbi. I do not have a good grasp on time.
I felt great after the hysterectomy. And was taking it easy after surgery so I would not impinge healing. But at the 6 weeks or what ever it is when you can 'go back to normal activities' Is when the worst pain I have ever had begin. what started at restless legs turned into the most hellish pain 24/7 and average meds did nothing.
So i go to the dr. and they blame it on my tbi. and say there is nothing they can do. and give me meds. And so then I am on the quest to find meds that cover the pain.
Then about a year after the pain started I went to a chiropractor for the theraputic relief of just being adjusted. The dr. suspected something and he did an xray. MY HIPS where completely as crocked as they could be vertically and pushed vertically out of where they belong. NO Wonder I was hurting. And so i would go to pt, chiropractic treatments and traction . I love traction. It would release the pressure of what ever is pressing on the nerves.
But my health issues are prolonged because i can not drive, thus i can not get to the dr and therapy on a regular bases. This is a real irritant and contention !
(Nevada had passed legislation for a self driving car. Goodgle earth is backing up the project so you know it will be the of highest technology and safety. Florida is also passing legislation for the self driving car. 0 I WANT ONE!!!
So the drs keep telling me that it is my brain causing the pain but they had not been addressing the the manifstation of the malfunciton. I needed something to stop the muscles from contraction and pulling my skeletal structure out of place!!
I have to have traction on a regular bases not. I get to the dr. office about once a week if i can find some one to take me. I am so tired of asking for rides.
I understand people have busy lives, and that their gife of time is a precious gift. I am grateful for those who have stuck in there and helped me so much. I have had one friend how has been so good, she even calls me and asked to take me to the dr. Praises and showers of blessing on her. thank You Lord.
I was taking amatritalaine and it is a great neruo med. the funny thing with this med is that for most people it makes them sleepy. but i think because of how my brian is injured the meds held my eye lids awake! so i switched from takin it at night to in the moring. It was a good med, gave me a little pep and really reduced the pain.... but then a weird thing happen... I had a major migrane (which i am not prone to and did not understand i was having a migrane) It was a headack like when I had the AVM and so my husband took me to the hosptial and they did an scan. and gave me meds to knock out the pain. Mercy we were scared, It was like reliving the night mare of the when the blood vessle breaking in my brain. it was an errie relief to be told it was just a migrane.
This ct scan did show that my brain has done alot of healing!
In reflection it was a major brain change. The atripalaine effect change and it made me sleepy but it did nothing for the pain.
So another trip to my general dr. and ask for med to deal with the pain.
(got to take a break, ben kitty is insistent on wanting something. brb. ok, He just wanted a snack. he will likely be back and want me to put his milk rings back in his water bowl so he can paw fish them out. He has me trained pretty well. (one of my job titles is 'cat staff'.
Ok, so i go to my general dr and he gives me some meds that marginally help; but get me by till i can go to PAIN MANGEMENT for the first time. They are strickt!! Spell ck is not working or i have forgotten how to use it; faulting wiring in head; just have to make a light joke about it.
My meds are tramadol and baclofen and a new med gabapentin. The three med together each take an edge off the pain covering it so it does not consume me.
I have to make the effort to get up and over the pain. there are days the pain is too high and i can do noting; not even think to pray. when i realize the pain was seperating me from God I knew I had to find a way to stay connected. I rest alot and on the good day I take hold of them find ways to enjoy life. The baby kitten wantst to play. so I will come back later and write more.
I want to talk about inhome thearpy and equipment next. hugs and love.
