Improvements... I don't

When I got PN, I was told that healing could take up to four years and I am at 2.5 with no sign of improvement.

But, everyone is different so we can't compare you to me or anyone else.

It makes it hard to have hope doesn't it?

Yeah it does, I'm not going to lie. But we have to keep going.

I've had a rough patch double the size of the dead zone in the Pacific of late, but as Beatle says, you have to press on.

I've spent more time uncomfortable in a chair, ottoman engaged & still no lessening of symptoms. I did reduce my meds, as I felt they were aiding my fatigue. Early results suggest that Lyrica was stellar in the numbing department. The issue is I was pounding on the poor, strained legs.

My fatigue is only slightly lessened. The upside/trade off for me is increased mental acuity. Lyrica was bunny foofooing me but good. Yes, I am in more pain. Quid Pro Quo.

I do still take tramadol, currently daily.

What hobbies do you have canagirl? I find reading and writing to be useful half the time. The rest of the time... yeah, well.


Good luck

What hobbies do you have canagirl? I find reading and writing to be useful half the time. The rest of the time... yeah, well.

Hobbies? I used to love reading and walking. Now, I can't read. I read the same page 10 times and still don't know what I just read. I still walk but pay for it dearly later. Probably have to stop that soon. I can't manage to do anything other than cry and tell myself that all of this is only anxiety and if I can stop the depression and anxiety it will all go away (lol, one can hope). I think I'm going to have to stop working soon. I am an emotional wreck and can barely hold it in while at work. yet, I'm scared silly of staying at home. I can't sit or lie down the pain is intense and sends me into a mental tail spin. I can't stop thinking about the past knowing that I did this to myself. It's one thing to develop an illness naturally but knowing I did everything that caused me to be this away is KILLING me.

What did you do to cause it? I missed that.

short story..
1. took a medication that caused twitching and jerking
2. tried to "fix" the issue and saw a naturopath that ran electricity through me for 45 minutes
3. deep acupuncture (about 8 or 9 treatments) I know, I know it's hard to believe but trust me this lady physically injured my nerves.

Which medication was it? Just curious if it is a known med that could cause it.

domperidone
