Guest guest Posted May 12, 2001 Report Share Posted May 12, 2001 BlankHi Group, I just need to vent a little bit. I just read lee's post and I feel so much pain for her. And it makes me so mad so MAD that these doctors think because we had the surgery we are cured. I wish this were true. I am living proof that the decompression surgery don't always help, and yes I forget things and i'm depressed and I cry, but I am not crazy and all this isn't in my head. And I am sure it's not in Lees. I be dang if they put me in a nutty place because I have chiari. best wishes for lee and all you deb in missouri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I don't know what to tell you except that I am sorry you are going through all of this. I am not recommending it, but I have stopped ALL meds before, I do it every few years, then start all over, this time knowing what I need at that time. Last time I did it was a few months ago (I will stop for about 2 months, then go to the Dr and get bloodwork done so I know where I am with everything. I DO continue with supplements, though.) This last time when the bloodwork came back I was able to officially go off of everything aside from Motrin. I went off BP meds, diabetes meds and depression meds, since they ALL checked out. I think you might try going to your Dr and expressing your problems and cconcerns, maybe you don't need to go off your meds, but adjust them. Good luck Akiba http://www.youravon.com/cmichels Venting I hate my life ... if it is not one thing it's another. This past year has been up and down like a yo-yo. MS is into its 11th year. October my thyroid stopped working because of the Rebid injections; January my pancreases has stopped working ... why? No one knows if they are connected, but they are classing me as a diabetic, Living a full year with constant dizzy spells that medication does not help. My electric shocks that had stopped for 3 years are coming back. My leg is constantly moving ... but no one can see it or feel it ... but it will not stop and now it is starting to hurt. My arms itch so bad, I scratch until I bleed or I take super hot showers which helps me go to sleep. A neurologist-psychologist says I have a borderline personality disorder. I am mad and I am scared ... I want to stop all the medications and let nature take its course and live life and screw the consequences. I hate to say it but why me? Why am I the one that gets sick and gets the illness that no one can fix or illnesses caused by medications that are to fix one thing but screw up something else. I am begining to hate my life .... I am making too many mistakes at work now because my mind is constantly thinking about this ....I have already been written up and I am noticing that I mix up letters and numbers ... which is not good.
