There is a way out of the abyss, although with the constant and excessive pain it seems impossible. Believe, my friend, you will get your health MANAGED. It may never "go away" completely but you will not always suffer the way you do now. A good doctor is key...the key. Keep searching until you find one. Open yourself up to alternative therapies. Open your mind to the DECISION that you will recover some quality of life and allow it to happen. You hold more power than you think. And most of all, be kind to my friend Hunter! Stay with us. You need the support and to know you are not alone. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />LeahLeah Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489036472300805611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-51167043275360215192010-10-07T00:41:26.285-07:002010-10-07T00:41:26.285-07:00I lived the same. Working security for Pfizer and ...I lived the same. Working security for Pfizer and for SDG&E. Working 10+ hour days. And what did I get for it? Not a damn thing. I started breaking down in 2005 and it just got worse and worse. I'm only 24 and I live my life like a 60 year or older person. Worse part is trying to get doctors to understand. Keep telling them I don't want the pain meds. I don't want to poison my body. I just don't want to be sick all the time. I want my life back. I was recruited by the California Dept of Forestry and I couldn't do it. I couldn't be a EMT or fire fighter. Broke my heart into a million pieces. I've been on over 25 different meds. I've had blood test, MRIs, cat scans, x-rays, I've been shocked to see how the nerves were working. Surgery on my ankle and shoulder. I applied for ssi/ssd a couple of years ago now. Twice on my own and with a attorney. Denied all three times. Have a specialist attorney now. I can't work at all now even part time. Moved to Oregon with wife trying to get a rheumatologist which is proving to be almost impossible and I need pain meds. I hurt so badly all the time everyday. I can't stand it. I'll take them. I need them daily. I cannot live without them anymore. I cannot sleep for the pain. I keep dropping things when I swear I'm holding onto them. Constantly ill. <br /><br />I was told 1 in 4 kids in my family would be sick when I started seeing specialist back in 2006. There's only 3 of us and I'm that one. And I have a high pain tolerance! But it doesn't help anymore. They said that the diseases were like sleeping cells that awoke due to consistent extreme stress/trauma. In which I was a canidate for both. <br /><br /><br />I wish I could regain my youth again. But most days , I can't even get out of bed.Hunternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505202305821415305.post-49316310715568357312010-10-06T22:46:55.232-07:002010-10-06T22:46:55.232-07:00THANK YOU for letting us into your life. For sayin...THANK YOU for letting us into your life. For saying bluntly what WE want to say. For making us sit and THINK about how we want our life to be.<br />AngieAngie's Eyeglass Chainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815305783372939797noreply@blogger.com
