Yes, This is crazy. When i stopped working nursing homes due to lumbar spine bulgeing disc, I went through PT for 1 year and 3 Epidural injections. I was feeling great with my back for a full 2 years now. Oh , but I just had to believe my boss was telling me the truth, that she was giving me an Assist Client. That means they can bear weight. NO, I worked last night and you actually have to fully pick her up off her feet and transfer. I asked for a gait belt thinking that would help some, but no not really. I know proper technique of liftingbut this was impossible. So here I sit with pain, severe in my lower back for a disaster try of better employment LOL When will I ever learn? Hurting bad and so down I want to scream!!! |
"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."
