Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part 19)

[jawi876 2]

Thank you Jawi, because that's exactly how I feel...

I am soooooooooo sorry to hear about your pain. I'd like to suggest that maybe you need a new doctor. Seriously. I know that here in Philadelphia, we have a great ortho doctors at the University of Penn and Jefferson University hospital. I just wish there was something I could do to help you. Like Ive told you, I have a herniated disc pressing on my spine and I was in so much pain, they wanted to operate. I went twice and never went back...Im going to pray for you harder sis...

I have seen about 5 different doctors...primary...Pain management...ortho...now I'm with a Neurosurgeon. My orthopedic surgeon pretty much gave up on me and told me that he wasn't looking forward to going back in because it was really hard work to move around in my neck. He said that my neck is short and my shoulders are broad.

The neurosurgeon said that he did see a sprinkling of bone growth on my last visit...so he is encouraged that I will finally start fusing. The pain I'm feeling doesn't feel like I'm on the road to recovery. I hate feeling so pitiful and ungrateful because it could be far worse...but this pain is driving me crazy. I don't have a life anymore. I haven't taken my husband anywhere but the aquarium since he got here...no parties...no clubs...no sightseeing...nothing because I can't do anything.

I hear all the ladies talking about everything they have done since their hubbies got here and it just makes me sad. He doesn't complain at all and he has been very understanding and concerned for me. I told him that he could go to the club without me when his friend invites him...but he wants to go with me. Hell, I can't even flat iron my hair...can't pluck my eyebrows anymore...I look like a wilderbeast.

Jawi, I am so sorry. I have been thinking about you... I have been having back pain the past few days. I really hurt myself when I was in my 20's and it has stuck with me. But I keep telling myself not to complain cause it could be worse and think about all you have gone through.

I TOTALLY understand about hubby asking why why why the dr cannot help. I would probably do the same thing. Do you have any alternative drs to call? How about pain management specialists... even acupuncture. I have a friend who used acupuncture for stress and it really worked for her.

Eastern medicine may be helpful for you... you never know. But if your Dr cannot help with pain then look somewhere else.

You dont want to be miserable when you have this wonderful man you just married.

I pray you get some relief soon so that you can move past this pain.....

I have tried everything but acupuncture. I'm not sure if its covered under my medical insurance. It's not really the doctor's fault...my prescription insurance has restricted him on prescribing a lot of different pain meds because I have been on them so long. I'm okay with that because I don't want to get addicted to them...and I voiced that concern every time they prescribed one. Now, I'm pain and I wish I had some of the old meds...I took my Celebrex, Advil and Tynenol PM...and ended up throwing up everywhere. The nerve pill used to work...but it's not working anymore.

Ms. Tee I know you are a bundle of nerves in the last bit of countdown mania. The day of hubby's interview I was so anxious...I wasn't nervous but I was ready for it to be over.

I was going to reply to some other stuff...but my neck is hurting so bad that I cried myself to sleep...I just got up and it's back again. The pain feels like I never even had the two surgeries...why did I do this again? Celebrex and Gabapentin are NOT working for me. The dumb doctor keeps telling me that I have to give it time and that he doesn't have anything else that is stronger.

I called out of work today because of the pain and my son got bit by a spider on his foot. I didn't even want to talk to my hubby...his questions about why the doctor isn't helping me more got on my nerves. I'm tired of explaining this mess to everybody. He has been calling all day...and I haven't answered. I know that I'm wrong but my nerves are on end...and I don't want to yell at him when he hasn't done anything wrong. The pain right now makes me want to beat somebody in the face...I just want to pull all my hair out and run screaming into the night. I can't find a comfortable position...Jesus please help me!

What am I going to do? I can't live like this.

Oh yeah...and Happy 1 month anniversary to me. woo. Whatever.

It sure is a month. Damn that was fast. Jawi I know you’re not in the best moods but I hope you at least pick up the phone and tell A that your sleepy or in a bad mood and you need to talk to him later. Ignoring his calls will only worry him and he'll think something is wrong. U have to remember this is your hubby now not boyfriend and it’s not cool to ignore him.

Sorry about the pain I can't even begin to understand what you’re going through. When I’m in pain I'm used to finding ways to relieve it. If I wasn’t able to makes me think like damn what would I do when there is really nothing that can be done. If in the end what the dr has done doesn’t work what are his plans? I hope he has one. Man the more I think about your situation the more I'm like damn you are between a rock and a hard place. All I can do now is pray that somehow someway relief will come.

I know DaDa...and he doesn't deserve it...but I'm a loner basically and that's what I do when I'm in pain...I start withdrawing. I feel bad...but it hurts to even hold the phone to my ear.

Morning all! Happy birthday Just and Cat - hope you have wonderful days =

NYCgirl, long time no see! I haven't ever even heard of that visa, lol - I would suggest asking in one of the other forums, maybe someone has info, even though it's not JA specific.

Jawi, I am so so sorry to hear that you are having such pain - I agree with the other ladies - I would definitely see a different doctor - sometimes they see something or can suggest something that no one else has - I also agree with the acupuncture suggestion - even if it's not covered by your insurance, you will get some immediate relief - when I went and it wasn't covered by my ins. it cost around $60 for a session - money well spent - it was like every pain in my body immediately went out and although it's not a permanent fix, the temporary relief is so worthwhile. If I were you, I would also think about finding a homeopath -

My aunt had horrendous headaches and problems and she had tried it all - she finally went to a homeopath and the first thing she was told is that she had Lyme - She went for blood work, and sure enough she did - Some of the different remedies they have really work - At this point, if I were you, I would try anything and everything.

I also feel you on the pain meds - sometimes they stop working cause you develop resistance to them. Hang in there, I love you!

[MRStee 19]

Good morning everyone!

Happy birthday just and Irie!

Jawi, I know that its costly and hard for you right now but you cannot live like this and its unfair and painful but maybe

the help you need is not local. You need someone else to look at you. I know you've been to 5 doctors but you

may need to go to 10 until you find some relief. I will be praying for you and looking for you too! God bless you sista.

going to go get an oil change for my car... see you ladies likkle more...

Dada..hmm some good ideas...but maybe in the future..we gotta take baby steps..but if we do take on any of those..ur name will be on it

Aww shucks thanks but that’s not necessary. Like I said it was just an idea that hit me. Big ups for sticking with your cause and trying to get it off the ground. I don’t know what’s up with my determination. I want to start my own event planning business so bad but I keep losing my motivation. Its like I want it but I’m too lazy to go out and get it. One minute I’m heavy on my grind and the next thing you know I fizzle. The sad part is no one takes me serious anymore when I say I want to do something there like yeah Dada what ever that is what you always say. I’m so good at starting something and never finishing it. I have so many unfinished projects laying around it’s a shame. So when I see you not stopping and your continuously on your grind. Dat‘s what’s up….

listen u just have to do it..i don't know where i got this energy from..2 babies work a masters at the time and of course my hubby and work..i just did it..and i have some awesome ladies helping big ups to dem!
