Awakening - I'm pretty sure now, after living with this 'issues' I have indeed become an expert in pain management.. dare I say, more than my Dr.s. Happy Sunday' and today I am blessing you, with wisdom I have gathered, the hard way... by NOT listening to my own mind & body.
First, a reminder for those not familiar with previous blogs - God have provided me with fantastic Dr.s, truly.. I am most grateful for 2 processionals' My GP, now retired & a "shrink" (hahah I'd use that term to see her wince, and giggle) that was suggested by Sick kids afters Storms diagnoses, she saved my sanity, trying to deal with all that was going on. I have experienced Dr.s who have helped - and a few... not so much. They helped me - for the humans they were, more than medication they provided.. I realized, they have probably learned what we are along the way, like us all. Medicine can be harmful, some side effects worse than the initial illness.. some NEVER stop. I KNOW. I have experienced what all of my Dr.s have not. But- once aware all must choose, will you follow blindly or will you SEEK.... anyhow not my decisions to make, but I'd choose to prescribe/consume pills as a last resort, instead of first.
The past few months I have had several tell me they are on gabapentin. SEVERAL so a reminder - I was on it only a couple of weeks and had serious side effects. Yes, it eased my pain a bit -for perhaps 3-6 days.. but HOPEFUL (Not putting my hope in Jesus/myself as much as Dr.s) I continued. I notice I was having trouble swallowing at night, difficult to explain, as if I was losing control of my throat muscle to push food down, it got worse. The only change was the medication. ALSO, I became very irritable with my dogs - Yikes!.. it was a 'feeling', they were not doing anything different !!! instantly -I just knew, it's the Gabapentin. OFF. With the help of psilocybin I will add. I started to feel better in days!! The throat thing- GONE - AMEN. The irritability - omg.. I cried and snuggled and said 'mom is sorry'...
Poor children (& pets) are out there paying for a side effect of a medication a parent takes.. just like alcohol abuse.
I watched a nurse explain 'Prescribing cascade' , where you are prescribed a medication for something that is not a new illness but a side effect of a medication. Of course she uses gabapentin as the example, saying a common side effect for it was swelling legs, then they are given a diuretic for swollen legs. A side effect of Gabapentin. I blogged about this decades ago when I was reading about retirement homes in Italy (I think it was Italy) using cannabis -Vape bags, on the elders instead of PUMPING them with DEADLY Chemical cocktails. Have you heard or read the latest? I have to research but it's viral online - an 80 year old Alzheimer's patient (female) took a psilocybin dose 5g - slept 19 hours and woke up speaking!! You watch, how fast Psilocybin becomes "medicine".
My dads dementia Dr. told me "once diagnosed' patients only live 2 - 5 years" My dad died to the date.. I have often wondered - how do they know? How is it SO predictable? The first thing they did to 'help' him, was medicate him... on a few different medications. Sick kids experts offered my toddler medication', to help his pain - and two sentences later, WARNED me - that the medication would absolutely destroy his internal organs after a expected period of TIME.
One 'big shot' neurologist on Bay St. (man he was arrogant) had no problem telling me - He expected, my life expectancy to be 2 more years.. 10 years ago. Wow.. another diagnoses of doom. STFU. THEN! His office fucked up with an MRI and his receptionist apologized to me, BECAUSE I had to take another MRI - because of their mistake. So, there's that.
Those 'tests' effect us too. Fact.
ENOUGH, IT absolutely has been me Trusting God & Trusting Jesus.
ASKING, listening to my own body - CHRIST IS IN US!! That has helped me help myself, nothing I've done is illegal- albeit some have tried to convince us, otherwise. Plants that grow naturally are worthless & "illegal".
Listen to your own body.. feel a new symptom? Pay attention - do not add to YOUR pain. CHOOSE Wisely.
PLEASE pay attention, this nurse suggests: AT the very least, ASK your Dr.s :
Could you look at my medications and see 'if this' could be a side-effect of any/all medication?
Better yet, TRUST in Jesus In YOU & SEEK yourself, do some research, do not follow blindly anymore.
Pain is a part of life. Pain of the physical body & pain of our broken hearts.
Every night, I have to reset with Jesus ask for forgiveness, give forgiveness - so I can move forward.
The minute I do, I sleep peacefully. It's powerful - me knowing, me praying - will help me heal faster, than pills.
Pain is important - incredibly important.. nothing brings you faster & closer to Christ, by being humbled by pain.
Broken Body & Broken Hearts.
The sooner you have a relationship with Jesus - the sooner you will heal - and learn to deal with ALL that ails.
Amen.
Next.. the Kill switch in Canada, the USA (A guy got jail for fixing a friends truck!) & The Dutch dilemma.
Until then:
Whoever finds wisdom finds life & receives favour from the Lord. Proverbs 8:35
In order to FIND - you must make the effort to SEEK.
Below: I love this woman, for the joy she brings, around the world. It's that easy...
BY Being JOYFUL - she brings others joy, I SMILE every time I see these two.
How powerful is that?
