Title: long ago
Post by alchemy on Jul 28th, 2005, 5:40am
when i was younger i learned to love the night. it was my favorite time. my stepbrother and i would play an old indian game where we would be in front of our boathouse one would turn his back to the lake while the other would shoot an arrow out in the lake, the other would have to fing the arrow by using a canoe and kining up with the moon correctly. the game would go back and forth all night. i a;so enjoyed the eerie call, of the loon as it sought out its mate in the dark. few people get to know the dark as well as i did. i'm not really sure why but a lot i feel had to do with fear. i never had that fear. if my old man;s nightly beatings didn'y scare me than the dark surely couldn't. for many tears i worked as a collector for drug dealers. the sights and sounds from that should have scared me a way from the dark forever but the night always held a certain magic for me. that was true until roughly about five years ago when i started having ch's. the nightly battles with what refer to as the beast have beaten the magic of the night from me and also made the daytime mt enemy also. i get 7 attacks a day. the worst one's are at night. i know i have no right to bitch, others of us have it far worse than i. but bitch i'm going to. i'm going to rant like i never have before. these fucking ch's have gotten to the point i can no longer work. for the first time since i moved out on my own at fifteen last night i wasn't able to provide food for my family. i have never felt nor do i ever want to know what that feels like. it out of my hands now. my wife works her ass off and she is doing all she can, i feel too much. i have been writing this for hours. please pardon my spelling. at one last night i was walking the dog when i got a hit, on my knees i ended up on the rr tracks. the pain came so fast and strong i was puking. i pray no one saw me banging my head on the rr tracks. well the sun is about to rise and what used to be a joyous time in it's own rite now just starts the fucking time clock ticking towaeds another fucking night.

Sure, like Vig *and LeLimey* says, that's what we're all here for, to help each other.  Fill in another piece to the puzzle from around here.  Fight back!  It has taken a lot of us there, that's why DJ made this site.

Bitch away - the best part is there's support here from folks with hands-on experinence with this nightmare.  

We can't do much to make it better but there's healing value in knowing others truely share the pain and frustration.

FEEL THE POWER OF THE FORCE Alchemy - Ok thats corny but what the hell.

Stay Strong

Tom

Good idea Helen.

Download Skype. I'm going to as soon as get my headset. I can't yet get to a store that sells the right one.

Keep plugging away. Rant more. We're here for you.

I had a script for anvinza (speling) myself for my back.....was up to 60 mg's but that shit made me EXTREMLY ill in a flash.....never knew when it'd happen. And seems to me that sort of pain med can cause rebounds ? It's morphine sumthin or other. Just not heard much about that med workin for ch....didn't do  much for my back either but I got violently sick a few times unexpectidly and it scared me. The cymbalta is for diabetic pain and causes nausia....also some sort of antidepressant. I can't do nausia......nerontin made me LOOPY as hell and got big red blotches and couldn't stand up or walk or talk well. Trazadone is an antidepressant of sorts also and  baclofen is some sort of relaxant. Not pickin yer cocktail apart and I'm far from an expert but just worry it all works well together ? Just be careful......don't want to make shit worse or create more crap......antidepressants make me feel FREAKING wierd......oh wait a minute I am wierd. Alot of meds caused new problems I have taken for this or that and then I'd be scripted this to counteract that.....I won't do that to myself anymore. I'm a supporter.....and wishin you the rite mix to be PF. Liveing hell Pam
