"NOT A STRAIGHT ROAD"

Well my journey with all this started in 1993 when I was involved in a bad car accident. I was t-boned on my side {drivers} by an eldery lady running a red light. My car was totaled...I couldnt work ...but the good news they {the Dr`s}  kept saying was that nothing was broken but my left foot! Ok...a simple fix..a few screws and pins to hold it together and then just let everything heal up !! Well thats when the nightmare began...the pain did NOT go away..I was finally sent to a Pain  Clinic here in Arizona...where I had so ooo many injections...trigger point, faucets..caudles...and epidurals..."All I cared was that they were giving me something to stop the pain " But it never "Stopped"..it just let up for a few days..just long enough for me to think ..." I was getting MY life back"
  Anyhow ...they finally said after over 200 injections that there was nothing more they could do for me ...so I woulod just have to "get use to how I was". Well then my attorney from the accident said "you might as well settle on this because nothing is showing up on x-rays or any other test and they think you are making this PAIN up !!!  So without any support from my then husband ...I just couldnt take it anymore and I settled after 4 yrs of all the legal issues and Dr`s. and so on ! I ended up with about a years pay after it was all over. Then my marriage of 17 years ended....I then fought for another 31/2 years to get disability..as they did not reconize Fibro/ CFS as a REAL disability. .. much less know anything about it then!!
So here I am now....fast forward about 12 years...like all of you...I have good days and I have bad days and then I have the terrible flare ups that keep me in bed for days. I also have sleep apnea..narcolepsy, and sjorgrens. I go this Friday to see another sleep specialist to see what can be done about me not going into stages 4 or5 {REM} and I am sure that is why I am so tired all the time. No-one seems to understand...and frankly ...neither do I !! I`ve tried the CPAP machine and still...no 4 or5 in my sleep.
So this is (not the short ) ..or the long of my journey...and like so many of you ...I dont need to explain it all !!!
" BETTER DAYS TO US ALL...LETS KEEP THE POWER OF PRAYER GOING...AS WE DESERVE TO FEEL WELL "
