i am so sad tonight

[mandy876]

I needed to talk I am so sad.  I don't feel good my head never stops hurting. no one to talk to.  sorry guys its just me again.  I cant sleep I feel every thing is falling apart.  I don't know what to do.  all I do is just sleep and  cry and try to eat but that makes me feel sick.  and other problems. I drank some boost.  but oh well.  I feel as if I got off a bus and I don't know where I am.  I feel that lost.  im sure more people have problems that makes more sense.  I hope everyone of my friends here gets well and does not have to have these feelings.  thank you for being here for me.  mandy876

I also have osteoporosis.  But you still might really be helped by physical therapy.  Ask your doctor about it.  I have given up on any medications for my bones after having some horrible side effects which won't go away.  But if you've found something that works that's great.  Consumer Reports says that with the little benefit you get from those meds, they don't think it is worth the side effects that come with them.  I agree.

I took a bone density test and they said I have osteoporosis.  they gave me some pills but it closed up in my throat or lower and I could not belch  it  really hurt.  I called my doctor they gave me some nasal spray.  it absorbs through the nose. we are waiting for my next bone density tests.  mandy876

I hear you.  Have you had any tests done on it to determine if the bones are okay?  My back used to hurt terribly. Physical therapy helped me out of it. What medical help have you had for your back besides pain pills?

[mandy876]

I take a pain pill nearly once a day,  I would never be able to go to sleep without it,  my back hurts too much,  I have restless legs. he gave hydrocodone.  I don't think I have anything that doesn't hurt. mandy876

I have I could turn my tv up so I could hear it I can play my games with the noise.  I feel like I had a small vacation.  she is not back guess she spent the night again.  she hasn't called me yet.  sometimes it is good to be alone so you can think and do what ever you want to do.  mandy876

Regarding your headaches, you could take daily preventative migraine medication which will take several weeks to work.  But if you take any pain relievers more than 2 days a week, you risk getting rebound migraines.  Topomax is a common one, but take whatever your doctor recommends. Good luck on that because nobody needs headaches.

I see. you sound like you have white coat hypertension. I have that too. When we get in to the Drs office we get very nervous and our blood pressure goes up. I'm really glad to hear they take yours twice and it's normal the second time. I was asking because of your headaches. If your blood pressure is high or low it can cause headaches.
What about your blood sugar? Do they check that? If you're not eating your blood sugar can drop and that can cause headaches and make you feel tired and out of it.
So your niece went to Houston on her own and you're home alone? You sound like you're enjoying the time alone.

when they take my blood pressure at first  it is high but  she retakes it and it is ok.  I get nervous when I go in feel like I am wasting very bodies time.  I get sweaty hands I guess it comes from having cancer and a fear it could come back.  I do take my list.  my niece goes with me and they end up answering my questions.  he agrees with her and I lay my note down and they both look at me like go on.  why you two seem to know how I feel.  he then listens for a while will change one of my meds and says if that doesn't work come back in.  then h is gone.  the nurse comes in and gives me my paper work and any prescriptions they call cvs them selves.  my niece is upset I have notbeen feeling good the last week.  she decides she wants to go see her daughter and kids from Houston that is a 4 1/2 hour drive and I think the only reason she wanted me to go was o pay for thegas.  it is niceand quiet at the house I can turn my tv up so I can hear it  and it is a lot more fun to play the games with noise. mandy876

You really should get back in the Dr and ask him about your headaches first. Don't let him get away from you without giving you some kind of answer. I take a list of questions with me when I see my Dr and go through every one of them.
When they take your blood pressure is it okay, or is it high or low?

[mandy876]

thank you every time I go to the doctor I ask can you do anything about my headaches.  time before last he got out of the room.  I sent the nurse to ask what about my head aches?  the nurse gave me some muscle relaxer pills.  that does not work for a headache.  not mine anyway.  you would think I would get used to them I have them all the time. I slept mostof the day.  got up went to the store and got too hot,  but bought a few things.  my niece had to have her milk.  I got to feeling my head felt like it had a tight band around my forehead.  and I was really  dizzy.  I went back to sleep when I got home that is the only relief I have.  mandy876

I hope you do feel better tomorrow. Has your Dr ever said why you have the headaches? It must be awful. And, to have the panic attacks on top of it is really awful. I know all about those.
We're always here to listen and support you. Feel better, okay.

[mandy876]

yes  it is nice to have some one tojust be there and listen.  I have panu=ic attacks when I get real upset.  too much builds up and I don't think I can make it.  it is scary.  I have to stop this and try to control my feelings better.  I don't know how to.  maybe tomorrow will be better.  I wish I had something to make my head stop pounding. thank you friend,  mandy876
