This neck pain is rather depressing by this point. I dont know how to afford to exist. Some days I try to be hopeful and watch success videos. But sometimes my pain is too much and I just need to lay down. It's just getting depressing wasting away unable to earn any money to pay bills for...

It's still very hard for me to understand any of it. How she was in pain for so very long in life after a surgery that was supposed to save her life from cancer many years ago. She spent half her life in and out of the hospital getting check ups or scans. She was such a hopeful person when I met...

Yes grief, schock, I suppose care giver burnout. It was hard for us to try and survive being in and out of the hospital all the time. We went through a lot of sickness together for some reason. Our lives were at our peak when we met. It's hard to imagine we would both end up so sick for...

It's been seven months now. She went in for checkups yearly to make sure there was no cancer. She had many unfortunate ER visits complaining about internal pain they could never find. I would go with her. They never found anything although she was getting very sick the last year. By the time...

She had been struggling with Familial adenomatous polyposis most of her life. I had been in the hospital with her every day since the beginning of June. She was scheduled for a surgery that was supposed to remove it. But her health took a quick decline and they were concerned she would not...

Well there's been much for me to process. I came to realize some weeks ago it is very hard for me to share my experiences of what created the PTSD because some people get very upset. Mad, disappointed, disbelief. If I were to tell you I also found out the my therapist has only been a nurse...

I haven't been in a stable place last week or so to get on this forum. Things got hectic and I just had to adapt again. This question is somewhat hard for me as I have severe trouble on some days as opposed to all the things I used to do. I spend much of my time laying on my side with proper...

I am trying to stay with family while I try to cope and recover. They don't seem to understand PTSD. They never had to really go through a non civilian experience. It's not the military either. I had to endure some serious duress and the injury I got from trying to just do my job so I could...

A good idea may be to search for lots of things that make you happy or relaxed. Lots of browsers work by what you search for usually. If you don't fill it with information you want it kind of guesses what you want to see. So if you fill your searches with good things, the engines should keep...

I use to play guitar or bass before my spinal cord injury changed how I live. Standing with an instrument is too risky and sitting with it I am only good for 15 or 20 minutes. I noticed at one point when I tried to get out and socialize at a local show with some friends, the vibrations were...

I have tried to hang in there. I have had the worst luck with support. For those who don't know my story, I've had a spinal cord injury twice. First from working, second from a car crash leaving physical therapy for the first time it got injured. So I've had some awful luck. I will need fusion...

I have to lay down constantly when my back pain acts up. It doesn't matter what I'm doing. I'm afraid to go anywhere for long for this reason. I had been on job interviews during treatments to help lift my spirits. But it was clear I had physical limitations that excluded me from being a...

Thank you everyone. You've helped me feel a little better. He is gone and we are just hoping for the best. My recovery etc. As or my x-girlfriend, she has Familial adenomatous polyposis FAP. I spent much time in and out of the ER with her. She needs IV fluids almost every other day and has been...

Something been weighing on my mind. It is hard for me to go into as I had been through so much already. But it bothers me so much that I went through it. This person accused me of gas lighting once. I had no idea what he was talking about. My mother had been dating a guy. When I first met him...

I was in shock with the first injury. So I was always unsure how extensive it was. Most of the bone spurs from what I understood have seem to be the usual result of excessive wear and tear. A bit more progressed than someone my age. But I guess thats expected when you worked labor. Drilling can...
