Just Wanted to Tell My Story Inpoint Form
Posted: 07-11-07 12:09pm

I am a 33 year old women. I have a husband and three children twins that are 5 and a singleton 2. I lost her twin at birth. I have been having chronic pain from a car accident in 2005 when a three quater ton truck hit me from behind when I was stopped. My youngest and I were in the van and the reason we were stopped was there was some sort of thing going on in front of us the van in front of me stopped dead I stopped the jerk behind me was not paying attention and hit us going 60kms and hour. He totaled the van my daughter was three months at the time was unhurt thank God. I had forgotten to take the thick warm blanket down off her because I had not warmed the van up enough for her So when the back window was smashed in and the glass all over her was just on the blanket all I did was take off the blanket and she was fine. I had installed her car seat properly as well so she is absoulutly fine. I on the other hand am not. I had whip lash and other soft tissue damage, lots of neck pain and rt arm pain. In September of the same year the headaches was getting from the injury all of a sudden got worse sharp pain in my head on rt the lt side too coming and stabbing me every 10-20 seconds. Ened up in hospital for three weeks just after her first birthday. I was put in a wheel chair and told that most likely that I would never get out of it again. Today I am not in a wheel chair I do how ever use a walker as not to fall. They had give me some meds. that I reacted to. I also went through withdrawl from morphine, gabapenton, and topmax as my husband for got to get my Rx's filled then was rememberance day everything closed. I thought I was going to die. Then got that all squared away to be taken off that slowly I fell with my youngest down the stairs and broke my ankle not a clean break I split right up the middle of the bone. To this day am waiting to find out if the are going to do surgery on it as now my ankle is very week dispite physio and strengthing excerises. While I was in the hospital they started doing nerve blocks which helped with head pain for about 6 to 8 weeks then I was back to pain at a level of 9-10 or more. NOw 3 years later am getting nerve burn swhich hurt but relive some of the pain for about 3 months and the pain level after this is at 4-5 so much more manageable. Also am on t3's fentanyl patches of 75 mcg and effexor for depression. I am currently seeking help from anyone who has any pain coping ideas as mine are starting to no longer work for me. Also am lookin gfor a doctor to see about maybe surgery to fix the stablizers in my neck. Then Last week I spiked a fever ended up in the ER they took out my IUD and now am bleeding very heavyily and in alot of lower rt abdomin pain very sharp does not go away moving makes pain worse even if my husband or children move the bed or couch ever so lightly I am in terible pain from it. I have told my doc about how much I am bleeding am waiting for him to call me back today about surgery this week to try and stop bleeding but I have a pre exsisting condition that happen when I had my twins (i will tell you all that story some other day) I had blood clots in my lungs do now everything is a much higher risk. If anyone has any ideas please tell me I am open to trying almost any thing with reason. I would also like to say hi to everyone here I think I have a lot to give and to learn here and have only been at this asite a week if that and am always here now. Thank you all for listening to me go on and on. I willpost my Labour story one day soon in the pregancy forum but for now I will say good bye and taykare

My heart goes out to you and I am so very sorry for all the crap you have had to endure. You have to stay focused and think positive for these beautiful children you do have....I know being in such pain, its a hard thing to concentrate on much less even try to be pleasant. I do hope you will finally get some relief soon and can enjoy your life. Its not fair to a lot of us and I ask God all hte time....why me? Then I answer myself ...why not me....he will not give me anyhting I can't handle. I too have been given my share of pain... and I hit 50 Saturday.....it took a long time to learn this is the only life I have and so I have to make the best of it, in pain or not. So many times I wanted to throw in the towel, but its not my nature.....be a fighter girlfriend......just know we are out here cheering you on!

I too am a fighter. I also push myself way beyond what I should to be there for my husband and children. Like today I took my girls to their doctor's then I took them to the park to play then a snack out at mc donalds and I almost passed out from ovr doing it that was the reason for the Mcdonalds snack they have a playplace and While I sat and watched the I eat some salad and a plain burger to try and get some thing in my system, I do not eat a whole lot either always nausus and vomiting as of late and no not pregant. Well it helped and then we picked up Daddy and all went home after supper I took the youngest out to get some milk and pizza pops for the girls. my husband gets mad when I push to hard ar tomorrow I like right now in alot of intense oain for going all out today but I feel I need to do this for the girls I had to put them in daycare so I only get weekends and the evenings with them and am not always feeling well enough by then to spend a whole lot of time with them. I do however plan to take the girls camping this year again by myself and I usually take one of my nieces with me for help so she can look after them a little when I need to just sit or lie down for a while. My husband is not the outdoors camp in a tent type of person so I do it alone. I usually try to go a few weeks after my nerve burn when pain levels are down but this year because of all this bleeding. It will be later. Oh well sorry to ramble. Thank you so much for your lovely reply. Happy 50th to you. I just turned 33 in June and I feel like iam eighty some daysLOL
