Guest guest Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 , Even 30 years ago you would not have heard a good joke from me. I never have been able to remember the punch lines right. Sorry! But, I am not sorry about what I am going to ask you. Didn't you write a post just not too long ago that sounded fairly similar to this one? I'm pretty sure I'm right - if I wrong, then I guess I am sorry. Anyway, what I want to know is if you have been having a recurring problem with increased depression do you need a medication increase, change or to start on something for depression?? Doctors I have seen have told me we can't have Lupus without depression. Why suffer with depression when there is help for us? I suffer from bipolar disorder. Suffer is the correct word especially added to the depression from Lupus and situations in life. I still struggle with depression, but thanks to the medications I take I no longer suffer. , I hope I haven't gone over the edge here. I just HOPE you know I really care about you and the thought of you being this depressed is hard to hear and I want it FIXED! Hugs - a B. > Okay here it is, depression has hit hard here the last month and doesn't seem to be going away. Guess it likes this body, why, I don't know, I sure don't!! I'm in that I wanna run away mode and leave everything and everybody behind. So what I want to know is, anybody got any good jokes?? Becky, any good put downs?? Deanna?? a(s)? Barb?? Kimi?? ?? Mojo?? MIke??? Anybody else?? I am open to all!! And I won't give you this chance often!! Just please help me stop crying. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 My name is Cherese, I was diagnosed with DDD, scoliosis and a spinal stenosis caused by grade 2 spondylolisthesis in 2007. I had a lumbar fusion later that year (I had to await my husband's return from a deployment)in which time the spondylolisthesis advanced to grade 3. I was fused from L-3 to S-1 with hardware and at a grade 1 spondy with reduced scoliosis. I was warned by my doctors before surgery that I may have nerve damage and chronic neuropathy, which I do. After several failed nerve pain treatments I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted in 2008. I spent a year on Lyrica, Oxy and various muscle, controlled pain and sleeping medications. The running joke around here is it was my " lost year " because I really cant remember anything during that time. I am currently challeging my doctor's to provide medications with minimum side effects because I was only 34, mother of two teenage girls, and a military wife with a deploying husband. I needed to function. After a minor car accident last year I have just about given up driving and my husband left the military after 16 yrs due to my disability, constant deployments and the inability to move to a non deploying status. I am looking forward to speaking with you all and learning other points of view on living with chronic pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
