I am new to this

[Guest guest]

I am 54 yrs old.

 

I have had 2 nervous breakdowns in my life. One when I was 14 and

the other after my first divorce at 23 yrs old. I have had 2

surgeries on my back (Ruptured disks). I have arthritis in my knee

and my hip.

 

I have had 8 injections in my back (eperdermals " spelling? " ) I have

degenerated disks in my back, degenerated shoulder. Slight case of

asthma. I am a breast cancer survivor since 1998. They caught it

in time, removed the two tumors and all of my lymph nodes. In 2002

went in for another biopsy but it was scare tissue. Oct. 2003 they

found a hematoma (blood clot) in my breast, been having it aspirated

every two weeks. Now I go back Feb. 17 and will probably have

another surgery, to go in and see what is going on. I found out I

have macular degenerated disease in my eyes, starting of cataracts,

also a hole in my retina (my father has all of these symptoms also)

I am on Paxil, because my Cancer Dr. stated that I am so nervous

after he talked to me. Which I am but I thought that was " me " . So

I have been on Paxil for 5 1/2 yrs. I like being calm, but I don't

like the feeling within me that I am being controled by a pill. I

tried to get off of it, and after 5 days, I was planning on

suicicde. My Cancer Dr. told me I cannot get off of it, unless he

gets me off of it.

 

 

Now I have this pain in my right arm, I thought it was carpal

tunnel, but found out it may be a herniated disc in my neck.

 

So this is me. Just wanted to join a group where I can meet some

friends.
