Guest guest Posted May 7, 1998 Report Share Posted May 7, 1998 My name is Hawk,I'm 38 years old and was finally diagnosed 2 years ago w/chronic pain. 7 years ago I injured my back at work,rupturing 4 disks. Now this is just the start of a very long path that I have been asked to travel (why?I don't know!) that has brought serious physical complications,mental troubles including suicide attempts and severe depression,and extreme financial hardship. I have found the right Docs who have Dx'd me w/Failed Back Syndrome,Arachnoiditis,4 bulging disks in the Lumbar,1 in the Thoracic(all 5 are pressing on a combined 8 nerve roots) area, Neurogenic Bladder(have to Cath myself,no sensation), Right Leg Radiulopathy that has left my Right leg paralysed,Calcium deposits around 8 nerve roots,24/7-9+ PAIN,Severe Depression w/Suicidal Ideations/Tendencies....and too much other depressing crap to tell you about right now. They are sending me next month to be evaluated for the " PUMP " ,have me on 6000mg Neurontin , 6Ansaid daily,4-20mg Prozac,other Anxiety/Panic disorder " mood altering drugs " ,Robaxin750 4-6day,and 24hr Suicide watch Nursing care. That is only part of my Lifes' story,most of it I have now lost along with friends,job,money,faith to name a few. I am sorry to bring you all down but this is my life and I have to tell someone B4 I go Ballistic.....Sorry Ken.....Hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
