MDJunction to me

HiddenButterfly"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (HiddenButterfly)

It isn't surprising that things still hurt or that you don't remember the impact point. Airbags blow up in a fraction of a second and so many things are going on at the same moment. I was in a car that was hit near the back tire, I think they decided we spun around 3 1/2 times. I was in the passangere seat and my right side was so sore, I hit the right side as we spun. We where in a older car with no airbags.

Hopefully your doctor will not find anything else wrong and can help with your pain.

I really am trying to stop the Percocet. Today I went the entire day with just using Motrin. However, tonight I broke down and couldn't take the pain anymore. Night time is definitely the worst time of day. I was out with family and had a complete panic attack. Between the pain and visions of the car accident I have decided that I think I will see a therapist for a short time. I really do NOT like seeing them but I think I need help coping with the accident. Tonight was the worst it had been. I was not driving but as we were driving home tonight whenever we made a left turn I had to close my eyes and hold my breath. You can call me a wimp but I cannot get past this on my own.

Does that make sense?

I want to be able to drive again.

I am a very careful driver.

I don't want to feel like I am going to die every time I drive.

I am cautious and I do drive well.

I am afraid I will never be able to drive again.

I am shaking so much.

This is also messing up my sleep

Tonight I start a new seizure medication.

That has nothing to do with how I feel.

Tomorrow at 1:30 I am going to see my Primary Doctor.

Maybe my elbow is just strained from the accident. There is a bruise on that arm that is the length of the forearm.

I need to get past the back/neck/head pain.

The black spots did go away thank God.

I was worried that they might be permanent.

Thank you for caring enough to post.

Redhairali I am SO sorry about that accident. It sounds scary.

We did not spin. She pushed us right down the road (not sure how far and into a sign which is now knocked over of course)
