Hello Larry and All,

My name is Ron and I am new to the group. I just wanted to comment

about your doctor. To have a doctor like you have is one of the best

things that can happen to a person who suffers from chronic pain. It

seems that some of the doctor's think that we are

hypochondriac's at best and drug searchers at the worst. I too, am

lucky to have some great doctors and my HMO has a really good Chronic

Pain Management program. From my regular doctor, to the physical

medicine doctor, the surgeon, and pain management doctors and staff,

they are all great.The Chronic Pain Management group is excellent.

They treat the whole problem of chronic pain. Of course you have the

doctors, they keep track of your condition and if a narcotic is

required they make sure that you take the drug in the prescribed

manner and not abusing them (believe me, they keep on top of how much

you take), there is group therapy, which helps so very much. To talk

to those who know what we face everyday. They also teach us

alternative medicine proceadures. Deep breathing, pressure points and

various other things that can help you to bring your pain under

control. They also teach how important it is to pace yourself. So we

are monitored quite well. If we do have to come off of the drug for

any reason, they are there to help with the withdrawal proceadure.

Taking all this in mind, on a scale of 1-10 most of the time I manage

to keep my pain level at a 5 or 6. If I go out and do some shopping or

cut the lawn, or just doing dishes will drive the pain back up to an 8

or 9 real quick. I have not worked in six years and will never work

again. My wife works and I got my Social Security early since I am

100% disabled. I am so very thankful that my wife has a decent

insurance for us, office visits $10 drugs from $5 to no more than $15.

They have their own facilities and hospitals, so referrals are

generally pretty easy. Without all of this and the support I get from

my wife, friends, and the groups, I would be completely lost. Even

with all this in place it is sometimes so very difficult to carry on.

I understand that I am not relating any thing new to the group

members. I honestly would not wish this life style on anyone else in

the world. I look forward to talking will all.

Ron

CAN TO SEE THAT I DO NOT SUFFER WITH THE HORRIBLE PAIN THAT I WAS IN

WHEN I FIRST WENT TO SEE HIM. HE IS A VERY CARING DOCTOR. THE FIRST

DAY THAT I SAW HIM HE CALLED ME AT HOME TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER TO A

first of all, please excuse my writting. i am really bad with puncuation and capitalization, and spelling(lol)My name is e, I am 37 years old. I live in Arkansas. I have recently been diagnoses with transverse myelitis. I am in monstorus pain all the time. No one seems to understand but my husband who has had back pain for a long time, and has been operated on. I am truely blessed to have him. I was also diagnosed with bipolar II and post traumatic stress disorder about 8 years ago. The thing is, i am very frusterated that i finally after so many years of losing my mind, doing stupid things, and recurring incidents am managing my bipolar very well. Things looked real promising for me . And it had been a long time coming. I was finally happy with myself. Was working on being a better human being to my fellow human man. You know , working on family matters...being fit , everything

.....day to day stuff...Ive been on disability for 4 years now...and i was just getting to the point were i was actually happy...(i mentioned that already, right?) Then out of the blue, my chest feels like there is this huge weight on my shoulder...then it turns into a stabbing pain...finally went to the doctors and they say i pulled a muscle...go back again..because the pain is so bad, i can barely drive or pick up anything with my left hand...and God help anyone who tried to try to touch the left side of my body...it hurt so bad..went back to the doctors, they tell me i have shingles..but i have no rash...i just was in so much pain...having the shingles , so i thought, made me miss going to my first concert(metallica in little rock, the only band ive ever wanted to see in my life) i couldnt have gone , the pain of just thinking about bumping into someone was just horrible...a week later, i cant

walk...my right foot was turning in, and i felt like someone took a mallet to the bottom of my foot...then, the sharp electrical storms started going off in my legs...i felt i was dieing...2 months later, after many painful test, i got diagnosed with transverse myelitis. then to make matter worse, i have a manic depressive episode...ive been isolated from the outside world...loseing the ability to drive , or even ride in a car(it hurts to bad, and i suffer more pain when i get home) i know they say that a third of the ppl recover with in two years, but i cant help but think that some day, everyone will get tired of me, and i will be alone. bad enough my husband has been with me for 20 years , since we were 17 and has put up with my bipolar crap. now i truely depend on him for everything. right now he doesnt seem to mind. he seems happy to take care of me, but how long can that possibly last? I have

two wonderful children. One girl , who is 19, and a boy who is 17. And i hate the thought of being a burden on them. Ive already lost so much, the loss of my freedom to go where and when i want to...the loss of even excepting friends, because i am in such severe pain, i cant even talk to ppl sometimes, the loss of being able to watch my neice and nephew(by the way , I missed my nephews birth because we thought i had shingles) and while i try to stay possitive, in the back of my mind are all the bad thoughts. the what if , thoughts.That is me. what is happening to me. I know most of you know, what i am talking about. Being new to the group i wanted you to know a little about me. If anyone esle has transverse myelitis, i would love to talk to you. and if anyone needs any kind of support that i can offer, please email me and add me to your messenger... the email acct. and IM i use daily is peachygeorgee@ hotmail.com , however I will check the acct regulerly.

first of all, please excuse my writting. i am really bad with puncuation and capitalization, and spelling(lol)My name is e, I am 37 years old. I live in Arkansas. I have recently been diagnoses with transverse myelitis. I am in monstorus pain all the time. No one seems to understand but my husband who has had back pain for a long time, and has been operated on. I am truely blessed to have him. I was also diagnosed with bipolar II and post traumatic stress disorder about 8 years ago. The thing is, i am very frusterated that i finally after so many years of losing my mind, doing stupid things, and recurring incidents am managing my bipolar very well. Things looked real promising for me . And it had been a long time coming. I was finally happy with myself. Was working on being a better human being to my fellow human man. You know , working on family matters...being fit , everything

.....day to day stuff...Ive been on disability for 4 years now...and i was just getting to the point were i was actually happy...(i mentioned that already, right?) Then out of the blue, my chest feels like there is this huge weight on my shoulder...then it turns into a stabbing pain...finally went to the doctors and they say i pulled a muscle...go back again..because the pain is so bad, i can barely drive or pick up anything with my left hand...and God help anyone who tried to try to touch the left side of my body...it hurt so bad..went back to the doctors, they tell me i have shingles..but i have no rash...i just was in so much pain...having the shingles , so i thought, made me miss going to my first concert(metallica in little rock, the only band ive ever wanted to see in my life) i couldnt have gone , the pain of just thinking about bumping into someone was just horrible...a week later, i cant

walk...my right foot was turning in, and i felt like someone took a mallet to the bottom of my foot...then, the sharp electrical storms started going off in my legs...i felt i was dieing...2 months later, after many painful test, i got diagnosed with transverse myelitis. then to make matter worse, i have a manic depressive episode...ive been isolated from the outside world...loseing the ability to drive , or even ride in a car(it hurts to bad, and i suffer more pain when i get home) i know they say that a third of the ppl recover with in two years, but i cant help but think that some day, everyone will get tired of me, and i will be alone. bad enough my husband has been with me for 20 years , since we were 17 and has put up with my bipolar crap. now i truely depend on him for everything. right now he doesnt seem to mind. he seems happy to take care of me, but how long can that possibly last?
