#admitted Again

I was admitted to the hospital year again for pain in my lower back. It even caused a POTS flare. I had a lumbar epidural done almost 3 weeks ago. It has been nothing but horrendous pain ever since. It was bad before but OMG! The dr that did the procedure didn't worn me it could be so bad. I've been in the hospital since Tues. crying every night. The hospital staff for the most part have been great. I want this to get better already. I cant walk far. Sit for long. This is no life! What can I do to make this get better? #RA #RheumatoidArthritis #POTS

Going In-Patient

I’ve been on a downward spiral for the last six weeks and it’s come to a head. On Thursday I googled the best ways to kill my self using my meds. It’s ok for now, I have a suicide prevention plan in place and am not alone. My wife knows that I’m struggling and my psychiatrist has made some changes to my meds. If I don’t experience an uptick in the next couple days, I’ll be going inpatient. I’ve been to the hospital before doing IOP (intensive out-patient) work but never admitted.

I’m scared to be “locked away”. I’m scared to surrender so much control. I’ve talked to friends I’m made in group and that has helped a lot, but if anyone else has positive stories of inpatient to share or words of encouragement, that would be really appreciated. Thank you.
