Guest guest Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Welcome Katy, You have found the right place. Everyone here has pain issues. I understand. For myself, I have fibromyalgia and degenerative disk disease in my lower back, and some arthritis here and there. I've done the Cymbalta, and Gabapentin.. the side effects were really bad for me on both. Now I'm dealing with it and taking 3000 mg of MSM. It's helping me some. When it's not enough and when I go out, I take 2 Tramadol. The fibro has affected my feet too. *Suzi* >Katy wrote: >I'm 34 and I have IBS, Fibromylgia, scatacia, Bipolar, depression, and chronic pain, and chronic sleep problems.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Katy, A lot of us here are in chronic pain and we understand what you are going thru when it comes to the pain, when it comes to the husband, I personally can't not understand it. If a man of mine thinks that my physical and mental issues are made up and does not show me compassion, I would hit him with divorce papers faster than a speeding bullet! He says, he is going to kick you out, NOPE he can't do that! That is the matrimonial home, it belongs to both of you, and since he probably works, and you are not able to and probably on social security, he will be the one that will be send packing, NOT YOU! So if he continues with his crap, just go call Legal Aide, ask how to do a free divorce, and that you are going to need to keep the house, or shelter, Alimony and Palimony, let's see how he is going to like them bananas! Do not let anyone abuse you mentally because you are sick, there is NO reason for that! He marry you for " In sickness And In health " right? So either shapes up, or ship's out! Take care Hun. > > Hi my name is Katy I'm 34 and I have IBS, Fibromylgia, scatacia, Bipolar, depression, and chronic pain, and chronic sleep problems. > > My husband doesn't understand the mental and physical issues I deal with everyday and doesn't care I'm a bad house keeper. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I am lucky in the way that my 2nd hubby understands and helps, so do my sons. Sometimes they help too much. My first hubby didn't understand anything about what was going on with my body He just went to 1 of his girlfriends for booty calls that is why he is my ex. Will the doc try to explain what's going on with you to him? Mine did to my 2nd Tried to with the first but he didn't listen. There are people out there that can help you do things like house work such as a home aide that are payed by medicare. Other health insurances will pay also. I have an aide come in 3 times a week to do all the things I can't. Medicare does pay if on social security. Blessed be, Ms.Katurah > > > My husband doesn't understand the mental and physical issues I deal with everyday and doesn't care I'm a bad house keeper. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Katy, I can truly relate to where you are at in your life. I suffer from all the things you suffer from and in the past have been in a state of desperate depression too. Me and my husband have been through our rough patches. For a time I thought I would have no place to go and my lack of personal money and my inability to work really caused me anxiety. For me the stress of it all just put me in a downward spiral that seemed endless. Lucky for me I got the help I needed from a psychologist, who put me on meds that helped with the depression. Also the tension and misunderstandings between me and my husband got better as the depression cleared, and now we have a stronger bond. My health problems are still a major issue, but life feels much better. I just want you to know that this is just a period in your life that can pass and lead to a positive place in life. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi, guys. Sorry for your sleep problems. I know what kind of havoc lack of sleep will wreck on your body. Have you all thought about seeing a sleep Dr. and asking for a sleep study? It could unlock a variety of problems that are keeping you from a good nites rest. Just a thought. Blessings, Robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
