MDJunction to me

Sylvia4648"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

Hi all new here but had the surgery done on feb 16th I had back of head temples forhead and deviated septum surgery, I woke up with a very bad headache and had to go to the er as I had out patient surgery and was send home after a 7 hour surgery and didnt make it all the way home before getting very sick.

the good news is I have been doing very well with migranes however as the feeling is coming back in my forhead and temples I am starting to get more headaches. its making me very depressed and anxious and panicky. the facicility I had it done at says this is very normal.

they say some people never have another migrane but that it does take some people a while to really see the positive results. I guess I am so worried because I was better now seem to be worse.. anyone have this happen and how did you make out? Please hoping for some answers .

shamus58, hope you are feeling better today! My daughter still had a lot of pain not long after her surgery (January 17). Now, two months post op, it is gradually easing. The surgeon told us to expect at least 3 to 6 months before we really know how much relief she'll have. It is hard to be patient after suffering for so long, but those poor nerves have to have time to settle down after all that has happened. I know she wishes she could just wake up pain-free, but now that she is seeing the relief kick in she is more encouraged. Hang in there!
