Hello Angel You end saying your lost but you being "Lost" has gotten you to docs and also gotten you here and now you are part of our family here at Neurotalk
I can see that you are a fighter and your posts show that ! You are NOT stupid. You seem like a good mother trying to better yourself and in turn be better for daughter and all those in your life. Exspecialy you. You are the most important person in your life!! Take care of you.
Never give up or give in. the ones left behind will carry such guilt and helplessness for the rest of their lives. even us new friends you have made here.
Wonder can you get on medicaid/medicare and go to health clinics or the mayo clinic for your pain issues and stenosis? maybe have to scrounge for bus money to get to mayo and back but worth it to get help.
my oldest sister has/ had sever spinal stenosis . issues with both with neck and her back . she recently had decompression on her neck ,she is a zillion times better since surgery.
I am really sorry for all that you have been and are going threw,dealing and living with nobody not even you deserve "nightmare" times ,or issues like that. I am very very glad you have apt with talk doc and also the surgeon. 2 HUGE steps . Take those steps and DO NOT look so far ahead at the what ifs okay they are far off and you are just human just like me and all the others here. it is one step at a time. dont get overwhelmed by looking at EVERYTHING . you will worry and that makes the pain worse. who knows if surgery is in the picture it may be that you just need meds and to wear a brace or something. so One step at a time angel sister you are doing really good so keep those apts with talk doc and the surgeon and please when time allows post here and let us know how you are how you feel and how the apts went. remember we are here for you and keeping you in our prayers and positive thoughts.
PEACE

Angel nice to hear from you today.if possible try to stay calm. write down any questions you have for the neuro too can do same for talk doc..Oh yes it is good to help others while making some much needed money. dont stress out to much on the talk doc either they are there to help you so just be honest ..be honest about your pain and how it control different aspects of your living. be honest on how you feel . angel sister that is the hardest thing anyone can ever do is seek and ask for help . that takes strength and courage so kudos on you. it is fine if the control nut wont let the comp be used tomorrow please just when you are able... stay in touch keep sharing and let us know how you are and how things are going. we are here for you to lean on and talk to. we care and have you in our prayers for tomorrow and Thursdays appointments to go good for you. please accept my friend request I sent thanks.
