Something’s not right

I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

I have realised why I am like I am, I have had one traumatic life changing experience after another in my life. I looked in the mirror & went into shock as I didn't recognize myself. I have been running on near empty now for many years. The whole experience which led up to the Major life saving Spinal Surgery, which I had 15 month ago, has drained & frightened me so much that I am concerned about everything now. My family & any friends I ever had are distant, & have no sincere care or understanding for me, they do not care. I am all alone & not knowing what to do about anything, the nitmares, anxiety attackes, & feelings of not coping, can be crippling? Can you understand & relate to what I have shared, & would you like to help in some way, by sharing anything that I can use too, that will help?

Thank you,

Bella

@outlander 2:06 Pm ( Edited: Stupid spelling mistake):womanembarrassed:

Thank you so much, I adore them, you are so precious & loving. How cute, & beautiful, they are. I had the worst nite in a very long time. The pain I was in stopped me from using my LT, all I could do was take pain meds, drink lots of water, & a couple of cups of hot green tea, with honey. I could not cook anything healthy to eat I was in too much pain. I had some left over food, & ate it so that I had food in my stomac.

I did not want to try & sleep in case I had bad dreams or even worse, Nite Mares!!

At 7 am this morning, I took my meds for the day, as I thought that they may help with the pain, as I take a Anti-Inflamitary Tab, what they did was put me to sleep. Today has absoluetly no sun, its covered by a blanket of grey cloud, plus its, freezing here. Maybe its the same for you up North? Your body damge may be hurting you bad too? I wish I could comfort you in some way, maybe bake you a, Brownie, that you love, hey! I love them too now, they are my favourite too. The Choc Fudge one, is Greens brand, have you tried it yet outlander?

Next time I do shopping I'm going to buy 2 boxes, & try not to bake them to close together. We can always freeze them, I bet the taste lovely cold from the freezer.

It would be so anoying, having to wait so long for your LP, outlander!! . The Chef is backing Browines on the TV while I'm talking to you. Its, Justin Scolfield, shes adding, Raisins soaked in Rum, with grated Coconut, & orange juice, & nuts. Interesting ingredients, I would use Rum Essance, I never drink or eat real Alcohol, as Alcholo, is a depressant. Plus Alchohol interferes with our Meds, I learnt that, when I worked in/for, MHS.

I will stop typing just 4 now, as I need to go read the other messages that you left for me.

Love U!!!

Big Hugs!

Hi @Former-Member

They are cute pictures and im glad you like mine too. I often see angel and fairy type ornaments.


Oh bella that doesnt sound very nice at all. When do you start your treatment for spine? That might help with the pain abit. . Keep looking after yourself. If i could come and help you i would. Now that you meantion it i wonder if my neck has gone out of alignment causing all this neck and head pain... might need to get i checked but chiro and osteo make me feel worse.

Its windy and cold here and grey skies like you. Looks like it might rain here.
Um yep that is the brand and the ones i cook too. Greens is one of my favourite ones. I find i can make them gooey and they arent so dry.
I need 2 boxes here and they are gone within a few days!

Love and hugs 💕 hoping your pain gets better soon.

@outlander Edited: suffering

Please go ask your GP to have your neck & spine x-rayed as all falls can cause what I got from the fall I had. I watch the Emergency, & Ambulance, air & road shows. Not that I like to see people suffering, but after I went through & survived it, plus I did not end up a Quadriplegic, like the Neurosurgen told me. I am tougher & more positive, than I ever would have been in the past. I have so much respect for Paramedics, health workers, & Surgeons now than I ever had. Plus my Faith in GOD & HIS Word is stronger than ever!!

1. You can ask your GP if you can go on a Health Care Plan. Which will cover you for all the Sprecialists, thats how I do it.

2. I was sent for an Ultra sound, plus XRays, then Neuroligist, The Neuroligist, was the one that found me neck damage.

3. I had a MRI scan of my Cervical Spine, then I was rushed to A wonderful kind Neuro Surgen, who did the Emergency Operation within 2 months of my first visit as I was about to go Paralizsed it was the most frightening time, but if it had not happened my life would be unimaginable now.

I never paid any money, as it was all covered by Medicare, as I am a public patient. The Chiropractor is covered too. The GP has a list of specailists, that are taking Care Plan Patients. Who will let us use their services. You may be ok & not need what I did, but its better to be safe than sorry. I'm here for you as I understand, after all I am going through & been through, & I did it on my own without any support, apart from GOD, & my Faith in HIM, which my Mum introduced me to GOD, as a tiny Child.

But, anyway, you will have peace of mind, & may j<<ust need help sorta like I do now, without any operations? I will be praying for you. After all I must have been meant to be close friends with you. I believe, because its just too much of a coincidence, that we have similar things wrong, & our love for animals, & we can have the empathy & understanding that we do. I believe in fate, as in meant to be.

Love U!

BIG HUGS!!

Re: I am- Overwhelmed & Traumatised I need your support!!

Ive had my spine xrayed only 2 yrs ago @Former-Member besides whats shown theres nothing else concerning. Its just managment stuff.
I watch those shows too as well as greys anatomy use to watch all saints and a few other ones.

Im sorry you had to go through all of that. Im glad your not paralyzed. Id much rather have some pain to manage then to be in that sort of state. My heart hurts for people like that or even part paralyzed.
My throat is hurting atm because of the neck pain and feels all swollen so ive got some heat on it atm and hoping it settles it down again.

When does your treatments start? Make sure you talk about pain management too and write down any questions too. Im happy to give my experiences if you would like. Ive had both good and bad experinces

My gp doesnt want me to go to chrio now and she also doesnt think a care plan is neccessary. Ive had to take away the anti-inflammatories because of my stomach and they were a huge help and wouldve helped now. Im very tempted to just go get otc anti inflammes to see it if helps.

I just had some watermelon. The cold was too much for my teeth but ate it anyway. Do you like fruits?
