- So I was thinking on Sunday, yeah it was almost a week ago, but I have been busy. hehehe good place to end a post right. I was thinking last Sunday...Anyway, we were at a friend's apt for the day (we being me, hubby, and my Service Dog Misha). We...
- My stress levels are insane lately - which makes me hurt worse. To that add activities that have a time limit on them, and I suddenly have more stuff than I can reasonably do in a day that I have to do, so my pain and stress is worse the next day....
- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. sighFor those who might not know, hippotherapy is a proven therapy to build core muscles. It is especially common to use for children who are confined to wheelchairs. I have always believed in the saying that there...
- After four months of working to come to terms that my spine will only get worse and never better, I don't know again. I saw the Pain Management Clinic on Tuesday. It was a "lets get to know each other" hour long meeting. Well, hubby and I agreed...
- I should not be allowed near a keyboard past my bedtime when high on too much pain but loath to take pain killers - I tend to type...I was just thinking of Fibromaliga, and PLEASE those who have it accept my apology for misspelling it. I was just...
- I saw a Pain management Dr today. Not sure if anything will come of it or not. I have lost all faith in the medical world. I will try, but I don't have the energy to hope anymore. She is going to confer with head of the PM group to see if I am a...
- I picked up my PTSD near 20 years ago. Since then my life has been wracked with debilitating panic attacks. I was a shut in for a couple years, but that made things worse. Through all of this I raised a daughter...It could not have been the best...
- Too many things are stacking against me today. Most of it is pain or pain related. I woke up before the dogs did because I hurt so bad I couldn't sleep. I took four Advil and that helped enough that I got back to sleep for an hour or so when the...
- Sorry - last week was hectic as heck with my grown daughter supposedly getting ready to move out, but not so much. Got her and hubby out at 6am this morning with a U-Haul. She is off to live with Grandma while she finishes her Bachelors Degree in...
- To be seen by the PM at the VA hospital, I had to take a month of workshop classes. Most of it was a horrible waste of time, especially considering an hour drive each way, but there were some tidbits of information that I thought worth keeping. I...
- That is a hard place to be in - giving up. It is not something I am inclined to do, but I seem to have run out of other options. I know what is wrong. There is no lack of correct diagnoses - though I have one wrong one, but that is just paperwork....
- I have a bad panic disorder. I know where it comes from - it is not combat related, but related to almost dying while in the Army 15 years ago. It is not as bad as it used to be, but it doesn't go away. The VA has put me in Vocational...
- This is going to be long - sorry, but not only will more information help people help, but it will help me get myself through this. About a month ago my 21 year old daughter came home from spending the morning at college, when she came in the door,...
- I suppose I should start with some back ground. I developed PTSD mostly from my time in the military - from a misdiagnosis that almost cost me my life. But it also stems from a very abusive family when I was little - trips to the emergency room were...
- Before this summer I had no symptoms. The only thing could say was that my thyroid was enlarged - it was easily seen, but not ugly. It is possible that my freaky metabolism over the decades has been from the cancer - or my crash starvation diets...
