Re: Being defined by who you are /Fatigue ?/ Bennie

Thanks for the info Bennie

I am on ambien for sleep and working as good as possible, Sleep is an extreme

sport anymore but with them I do get a decent 6 or so hours. Spent 3 years

sleeping in 2 hr increments waiting on help.

My D levels have been low for a long time, Doctors just say take a few over the

counter ones, It's not a subject they care to talk about and I don't know why?

My hormone levels were normal.

Will try and get book on retractable pain because I have a full body of it and

all anyone knows to do is throw narcotics at it then treat me like I am an

abuser. Had a Hospital stay similar to yours, If your on pain meds then you are

an abuser person if not you would not be in those evil pain pills...like we have

a choice. It's guilt by association I guess, I would love to see them spend a

day in any of our shoes, can just hear them...Oh' God give me morphine, I will

be a pain pill abuser person...just make it stop. They just could not handle the

pain or the truth I bet. Ok sorry had to vent.

I did try and get b-12 shots but needed 3 a week and doc would only give me 1

and had to come in to get it, Driving is very hard so only could go in a couple

times a month so did no good. I tried to get a prescription for it but got a big

NO. Not sure if it's because of medicaid or he thought I was going to somehow

abuse b-12.

For the record I have never been a druggie.

I am going to ask for the Ritalin or Valtrex next time I go in, Sounds like

your saying that Ritalin is the better choice. That's not the one adults can't

take because of brain structer or something is it?

Thanks again for all of the helpful info and hope things get better for you.
