➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Yup!

It's crazy how they have tons of meds for certain things, but none for others!

I need to do therapy, but I just don't feel like it'll help. My Dr wants me to because he says I deal with too much and no person should bare that much weight alone.

I did try therapy 9 years ago when I was told to by my old Drs in NH, but I think the therapist didn't get me. I think I need to find one that specializes in seeing people with illnesses. If there's even such a thing.

I can’t afford therapy. That’s what chickens are for.

That sounds awful! I’m sorry

Assuming you’ve probably tried most things but have you tried EMDR? It’s supposed to really help with PTSD from what I’ve heard.



That makes sense!! That sounds terrible. are you on a better one now or?



I guess if they studied them a long time they would never be released.

Exactly... That's the scary thing. When they put me on veletri I didn't want to because I'm stick to a stupid pump for the rest of my life... I can't disconnect... I can't forget about it... It's there... All dang day! i joke that it's my second husband.

I have this Hickman line that comes out of my chest that people constantly stare at. I also have to wear a fanny pack type thing but it's under my clothes so you really can't see it to hold this brick shaped pump.

The medication that I took before this one gave me graves' disease after taking it for about a year. It was one of those rare side effects the 1% type side effect. The day I got diagnosed with it I wanted to punch the doctor in the face so hard. I know that sounds pretty aggressive, but when you're already dealing with a disease you don't want to have more on top of that!

There are so many people out there that are like me and this makes me cry my eyes out because I don't want to see anyone suffer like I have. It literally hurts my heart to hear that people have had side effects from medications that have ruined their entire life!

They really should start looking into long-term studying, but it will never happen. You are basically playing Russian roulette every time you take a medication or put a medication into your body.

What are the first two???

I need to try some of those things

No.
You don't need to start anything new.
You need to focus on doing stuff that you should already be doing.
Go brush your teeth.

Propranolol is what I am counting on to get through my defense on Friday! That stuff is the sh*t.

She's probably die after two days.
Or be begging me to let her go home.

Never heard of it. Sounds horrifying.
I haven’t really seen anyone for several reasons. I was diagnosed somewhat recently and never went back.

But I’m off all seizure meds! I’ve been seizure free for... I don’t know... a year?

I honestly can't afford it either but I don't want to insult my Dr.

We actually just saw him last week and we were talking to him about how much farm life has really helped me. My husband was telling him how great moving to the country has been for us.

My doctor said this to us "you get busy living or you get busy dying" It's from Shawshank Redemption. My doctor said he thinks of me every time he thinks of that saying.

That's awesome that you haven't had seizures! That's truly amazing news!
