Welcome to my world! Rear ended in car accident, suffering from violent, screaming head achs, narcolepsy... yet unable to sleep correctly at night & MEMORY LOSS is crazy!Appts. I have had every test known to man ... blood work, xrays, mri etc and I am headed to a head & neck spec in a few weeks. In the mean time its intiflam. meds, pain meds, steroids, etc migraines meds etc and nothing makes me normal, just takes the edge off. Investigating MS ... Lou G Desease among others things... like disc desease,(many bulging & herniated disc) you name it, they have tested for and most of the outcomes come with no guarantees, just speculations, so my friend I wish you well and pray for an answer for you and relief from this madness.
Wow... you are a Godsend, for real! Lol... I am so glad you found me out here!!! I am sorry that you suffer from many of the same symptoms I do though. I suffered the trauma during my first marriage due to domestic violence. It went untreated because I was afraid of anymore abuse if I had done so. So, eventually I did divorce the (source) , lol, of my problem but only now, 13 yrs., later, am I getting real honest, real serious, and really angry about what happened and have been adamantly been seeking real results. I would so love to continue getting to know you and hopefully being a good support for you as you have already done for me. Thankyou so hun
Oh Ms Ellie if these walls could talk!! Girl I can not even begin to tell you how similar our stories are except for the part that I am now married to a very kind man who is doing his best to deal with all my medical issues. I think you know from my other post that I deal with a lot of his issues ( daughter & dghts fiance drugs issues ) that we pretty much support each otherr so I am lucky but medically I am a dam wreck! :-) Only way to put it kiddo! A wreck, screaming head achs, fall asleep driving, neck, back, pain, i dont have enough fingers to type up my whinny complaints honey... so I just keep them to myself... what good dose it do any who?? cant fix me, gave up on that long ago... but if I can help you any honey just I/M me and I will be glad to give you the wealth of my wisdom... and by the way ... my tormentor died of cancer a while ago ... so there is justice in this world honey... God Bless... Nanc
