Last Monday I had to admit myself to the hospital to get treatment for my bipolar disorder and ptsd. One was feeding the other and the problems were getting bigger. I kept randomly getting irritable and raging.
It wasn't who I was, and I never got treatment for a particularly bad traumatic experience. Plus growing up with an abusive father. I seen I was close to becoming him and sought help.
The first night, I got in too late to see the doctor. They had to sedate me because I couldn't sleep because of my leg and the psychosis.
I seen my doctor...she then kept my Lithium, Gave me Trazadone, and Seroquel to treat the mental problems, and gave me toradol once every 8 hours. I was iffy. The shots are effective at ttimes and not at others.
Toradol took the pain away. Had about an hour gap, so I took tylenol. Can't take motrin or advil because it affects my lithium levels.
Oh...she took me off of gabapentin.
Came home yesterday. And I can still control the pain with 3 tylenol.
I walked almost five miles a day in there. I hate being cooped up. I am excited and hopeful.
I'm in therapy and it's helping. Hell..yesterday...I got miffed and I walked off instead of trying to bitch and argue. I dind't notice until hours later...then I was like...woah...
