back

I am back again. Sorry if my absence worried some of you. I have been busy. I have gone through alot. I had cervical cancer and it was caught on time and now I'm cancer free. I have still been dealing with the same family dysfunction due to my addict brother. But along with the bad there was good. I am 8 months from graduating university. Ive been working hard with my studies as well as on myself. #back #CervicalCancer #Anxiety #Depression #undiagnosedmentalhealth #CheckInWithMe

I’m starting a new job, fighting excruciating cramps, and bound to my mobility scooter. I could so easily just break-down from the break-down of my body (& I did first day of new knee injury).

Instead, I’m scooting along and just dealing. I don’t know if it is tenacity, stubborness, perseverance, or determination, but despite these pains & limitations, I keep going. I remind myself this will pass, it will get easier, as it always does.

Meanwhile, I keep repeating Dori’s line from Finding Nemo:

just keep swimming…

Has anyone ever tried Devils Claw for pain, like arthritis, sciatica, nerve pain, back pain, osteoarthritis, bulging discs. I am currently taking MSM, but was wondering which is more effective.

I've never posted about myself. I usually just read and post replies to others. But this month has been terrible. I'm supposed to have a knee replacement so I had an MRI. Well it showed something weird on my femur and tibia. So I had to have a bone scan. It showed the same thing and they basically didn't know what it is. So then I had my knee aspirated and blood work done to test for infection. No infection. Now I have to go to a Orthopedic Oncologist for a blood marrow test and a bone biopsy. They are checking for cancer. Ugh.

Then I had a Dr appointment for a 3 month long chronic cough without being sick. I had to have a pulmonary function test and a chest xray. Well somethings wrong with that too. Now I have to go to a Pulmonary Dr.

In addition to that I'm gaining weight from my psych med Abilify. I look like a big moose.

So all and all now I am depressed and anxious after I just got everything stabilized. Ugh. I'm falling apart. Lol.

Sorry for the long rant for my first post! Thanks for reading.

I have been gone from here. But now I see that it’s different. So I think I’ll stay…

Wanting to know if anyone gets these. Orginally I use to get these muscle spasms that I think are in my arms or legs. Now in my #hands as well
They are extremely #painful and tend to happen when I am extremely tired, hadn’t slept or needing sleep.

Now they seem to be happening more frequently and violently. I may be on the couch watching tv and all of a sudden my body will violently #Jerk . I may be holding my cell phone and it flies out of my hands (this happens often).

After it happens I’m wide awake because it is extremely painful.
It reminds me of like when you #fall #asleep and you dream that you fall. You wake up because your #body jerks but it is normally not painful.

It’s not the same as when you get a #Muscle spasm in your #back or #legs it’s more like the #whole #body #spasms . Does anyone understand what I’m talking about??? Or get this feeling? Thank you #Gentlehugs #warriors

I just discovered tennis balls for my #neck , #back p****, and my crack, and I think I just unlocked a whole new character.
