Why wear a ribbon?

"I wear the teal ribbon because I have frequent panic attacks." (HGolightly)

MDJunction to me

"I have been struggling with Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post traumatic Syndrome for quite some time and pretty much going it alone. I stumbled across MDJunction by accident. I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
helpful to me and now I can't go a day without coming in at least 4 or five times a day! I Love my family here.

Testosterone for woman
Jan 25 2008
On Wednesday I went to see the P.M. doctor I was gone all day from 8:30 am till 8:00 pm. It was such a long day, The visit went well he got my blood tests back and all but my testosterone levelswere very good, you see womans levels should be at 2.5 to 4.6 and mine were so low at .08 that I almost dont have any at all, so what happens here is that your pain level is so high that you dont have any of the receptors in your brain and spine that you need to tell your body to stop the pain when you take your pain meds, so mine isnt telling my receptors anything and they dont stop the pain, Yesterday was the worset day I have ever had, Like a fool I went to P.T. and hurt so bad I couldnt stand it, I cried so much and I know that dosent help but it was the only emotion I had at the time, My poor hubby didnt know what to do for me, He did go with me to see the P.M.Doctor and learned so much from him. he had a clinic in southern California before coming to New Mexico and he told us alot of research went on there for Fibro , he moved to N.M. because his family lives here and his wife has fibro so wanted to get her here where its a drier climate. He gave me a script for Morphine but guess what? It dosent work either.  you know how you feel when you run out of pain meds and are starting to withdrawl well thats me all the time. the hands, the knees, the stomache. and I just dont know what to do, This morning at 4:30 am I took 2 Morphine tabs 15mgs each he only gave me 60.  I took one yesterday morning with 2 percocets 5mgs each and it helped for about 4 hours after that it got realy bad.  I just dont know what to do to make this stop, I have to go back to the drug store this morning with my script they didnt tell me they were waitting for an ok from the insurance.

I wish I could help you with your pain. The only help I can offer is I KNOW. We all know. The only time I took morphine was in the hospital. I do know that since I started taking Lyrica, about 2 weeks ago, I cant take alot of my other pain meds. It makes me sick. I'm not gonna be on Lyrica much longer if it makes me nausous. As far as a drier climate goes, it probably would help, but who can afford or are in a situation where they can move to try and see if it would be better? Ive been thru hell with the insurance companies and the pharmacies. I know what your going thru. I want to tell you that it WILL get better, but so negative right now. Maybe if we can stop stressing about it it might get better. I never quite learned how to not stress. It sounds like we are all made from the same mold. hugs and wishes for you to feel better,
leslie
