Dear Raea Tara, Wow! You do have a lot going on, and I might add are my kind of client. LOL I love the tougher cases. ;-) You need to get my Lifetime Health Lecture Series to begin with and then get started on an Incurables program (covered in detail in the lecture). Just found out from the office that we're doing a special on these. I'll send the piece out to the list after I fire this off to you. In Health, Freedom, and Love, Doc PS. These personal situations CAN be handled hon. Takes a bit of work, but you can handle them terminatedly with no return of problem if you make your lifestyle changes permanent.

Hi All… Just joined the group a couple days ago and would like to pose a question to Dr. Shillington I suffer from Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Bi-Polar Disorder, severe tinnitus, TMJ, constant “floaters”, Migraine Headaches, and 3rd Stage Chronic Lyme Disease. Yeah, I guess I am a pretty messed up person huh? Anyway… This year I had a PICC line in as prescribed by my Lyme Specialist. (Jemsek Clinic in Huntersville NC) The Line was in only about a month and a half, and it got infected. I was in the hospital for 4 days because they said the infection would have killed me had I not gone in to the ER when I did. They had no choice but to take it out. I have good days, but for the most part, I wake up every day in pain. I take tons of acetaminophen and ibuprofen and aspirin to no avail. I get minimal pain relief, but enough to allow me to function in a somewhat normal capacity. The fact of the matter is that I have become so accustomed to the pain that what I tolerate and live with on a daily basis would put most people in bed for the day. Some days the pain is so bad that I cry when I wake up try to get out of bed. Well, a lot of days actually. My elbows and knees hurt relentlessly and the pain in my back is really awful as well. I have herniated discs that press on a nerve that causes the left side of my thigh to be numb but highly irritable. (When something brushes against it it’s agonizingly irritating) If I sit too long, (20 minutes or longer) my legs swell and then I have problems standing and walking. I have problems standing and walking regardless. With the bi-polar disorder, I am currently taking Equetro and Seroquel and it seems to be helping, but the seroquel (which is also to help me sleep) makes me incredibly groggy. (100 mgs seroquel before bed) Oh, and I also take prozac. I also have an addiction to opiate pain killers which is currently being treated with 8 mgs of Suboxone daily. Then there is the Ambien too if even the Seroquel doesn’t work, So my meds are this: Prozac 40 mg daily Equetro 600 mg Seroquel 100 mg daily Suboxone 8 mg daily (Sublingual) Ambien CR 12.5 as needed I don’t feel like I am getting anywhere. I can have another PICC line put in, but now I fear infection again, and I wasn’t speaking lightly when I said I almost died. The infection in my bloodstream was borderline lethal. They released me and then called me to come back in immediately after the blood test came back in. They said on the phone that if I didn’t I may not survive the night. Tell me that’s not scary! The pain is only one factor that inhibits my sleep though. My mind races and won’t stop, the tinnitus in my ears is so bad that without loud white noise I can’t even consider getting any peace. As you can see, I am a mess. I normally don’t complain about it, but you have given such wonderful advice to so many others that I was hoping maybe you could offer me some as well. I don’t know what to do about this anymore. It’s very depressing in itself to be in so much pain and suffer from “depression”. Like I said most days I just cry. But not in front of anyone. I also try not to let anyone know just how bad it hurts and sometimes I really overdo it. I’ve mowed the yard once this season (my dad usually does it) and by the time I was done I was seeing spots, feeling faint and dizzy, and couldn’t focus on sitting, standing, or speaking. It was like my mind was this huge blur and I couldn’t think and if I tried it hurt. OK, this about sums up the basics of it all. There is a lot more but I feel guilty about getting this in depth about it. I am sure nobody wants to hear me whine about my pains and problems. But I do thank you for listening and would be grateful for any info/advice you could send my way. Brightest Blessings to you and yours, ~Raea~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
