are any of my friends here, I am in agony?

Question

are there any of my web friends on here, i am in agony with nerve pains.. i am getting them a lot now since moving to my new renal unit. I was dialised yesterday and i am so distressed with the pain and terrible sensation, i cannot take much more of this, i am looking for my friends to talk to to help me forget the pain which is nearly impossible to ignore as it is a nerve pain. i am losing so much sleep over this and so is my poor wife i cannot take much more of this, i am taking my tablets far too early

Answer 1

i dont know if im a web friend,but i know how bad you must feel.ive known people who had to get dialysis.my sister in law
had to she had sickle cell anemia.she had to get dialysis 2-3 times a week.are you nervous about something.maybe you could talk to your doc about giving you a anxiety med.i guess you mean your taking your pain meds too soon.maybe you could try
a pain management doc they can put a catheter in the base of the brain it releases med when you need it.

Answer 2

Hi Bubbles - You have lots of friends out here. We are all rooting for you. You are in a terrible cycle of pain leading to stress
when you are stressed the pain is even more pronounced. You
must let the docs know how ill you feel. They may suggest and
give you pain management. The tablets you are taking may
not be the ones for you and you may need something stronger.
Do you have anyone in the Renal Unit that is suffering the same
kind of pain as you. Because if there is you will not feel so alone.
Lack of sleep will make you worse - so this needs to be sorted.
I really will be thinking of you and hope that you can get through
this. Don,t let them fob you off - get a second opinion if you
feel that would help. GoodLuck.

Hi Bubbles. I don't know you, but I'm sorry that you are in so much pain. I have a lot of pain too. I'm lucky if I get two Hydrocodone a day and I have chronic neck pain, chronic migraines, a bulging disc in my back and chronic achilles tendonitis. I have some meds for the migraines and pain pill to take when I sleep, but not much during the day. I understand what it feels like to want to give up because the pain is so bad. You said that you don't think that you can take much more of this and so I thought I would tell you what I do now to keep from thinking about my pain. I just started this last Thursday and it has really helped me. I come here and answer people's questions and try to help them. I also like to draw and I can spend hours doing that. It's not that I don't feel the pain at all, but it distracts me, so that my mind can't stay focused on it. Let me tell you, it really helps. I don't know if you can do either of those things, but even watching a good movie can distract you sometimes. I know that you are in a lot of pain and you may be thinking that it's not that easy or it just won't work, but please try. If you can't type that much right now, then maybe you could listen to some music, anything to distract. If you need someone to talk to, then you can talk to me. You can email me or IM me anytime. I will pray for you, that God will give you the strength you need to get through this time. This too shall pass. God bless you. LOL.:)

P.S. Are you taking Nuerontin? It's a pain medication for nerve pain and it's supposed to be good. You should see if you can get on it if your doctor thinks it will help you.

Answer 4

Hi Bubbles sorry to hear about your pain. You really need to speak to some one about pain management as constant pain will wear you down and your health will suffer even further. Believe me I know what I'm talking about

Really the renal unit should be informed as if they do not know how can they treat you. Ask right now for help. Nerve pain can effect the state of your mental health as well and you do not want that to contend with as well.

If you feel you are getting nowhere be persistent and make a nuisance of yourself until you get the most suitable pain relief for your own needs.

All the best and see you around soon.

Answer 5

Hi, I don't know you but I wanted to say hi and I will pray for you. I have nerve pain too and "my tablets" don't do much for it either, just takes the edge off so I can function. I hope you get some good information about what to do, I would like to know myself. Take care.

Answer 6

What are you talking about? If you have nerve problems see the doctor, and since you sound like you have lots of web friends, it migth be Carpel Tunnel. See the doctor ASAP, and your web friends can wait, your health comes first..

Answer 7

im afraid i dont know who you are but i hope you feel better bubbles. my dad was in the hospital with what we thought was carpal tunnel. he lost his leg and has phantom pains all the time and a lot of nerve damage. but hes got morphine and stuff... i guess it works cos he never complains. ill chat with you if you want.

Answer 9

Ask Christ to heal you, he is the great physician, he healed everyone he came into contact with 2000 years ago and still heals today. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
