Hello @jahling, welcome to Connect. I'm glad you've joined the conversation and hope you find comfort here. Living with your obstacles and challenges is no small feat. I'm sorry for all you've gone through, you obviously are exhausted, frustrated and scared.
You've provided quite a detailed list of diagnoses, medications and symptoms. I can tell it consumes you. I'm not a doctor, and have not been through exactly what you have, but I've had my share of challenges and you sound a bit like I did once...lost in health problems that have caused you to lose your identity, confused, overwhelmed, physically deconditioned and emotionally distraught.
It makes me very sad to read your statement about driving your daughter to school. You don't sound confident. What can I do to help? Maybe it helps to just vomit it all up, get it out, and be heard, or are you hoping to find some guidance or answers, along with support?
PS: I'm 52 also! We have a lot of good life to live still, just have to figure out how.
Your story sounds so much like mine. I don’t know what it’s like to not have pain. I’m getting no help. I realize your post is more than a year old. Have you found anything that helps? I too was in an accident, but I was a pedestrian hit by a van.
@jahling you truly have an unbelievable amount of pain you must deal with and I cannot even begin to know how you manage day to day. I hope something happens soon to alleviate your pain. No one should have to deal with so much pain for as much as the healthcare system is paid and touted as world class. My heart goes out to you.
