Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just wanted to reconnect. I joined late August when I finally was dx'd after nearly dying from a torn artery in my brain. So many emotions run through your body throughout the day it can be exhausting. Not even counting the physical aspects. Somehow, I guess I thought that after finally getting a correct diagnosis, I would finally get help, be cured and go back to my life. Or at least be stable. Life has been anything but and I feel like I have failed. I lost my marriage, career, my house, and am raising children alone with no other living family. Friendships fell too. I did finally get my brain sort of back on track but.... the rest of my body has now fallen apart. This started for me as a sudden stroke 2 years ago. I never realized what was in store for me after that. Suddenly, my body is in unbearable pain and my lungs look like swiss cheese. Oh god, my vision! I lost my drivers license too. I am so sorry for complaining, I guess I just finally accepted that this disease has consumed me and I need help. First, I am on blood thinners so NSAIDS are contraindicated. Narcotics make me vomit! Can anyone make a suggestion on what to take for pain? It is excrutiating right now. So bad at night I cannot sleep. I have never experienced this before and this acute flare is going on over 1 month now. I spend all the energy I have these days on just surviving financially, taking care of my children and keeping a roof over our heads. Thank you all for listening and I look froward to participating more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
