Acceptance is wrong and seems - I can't even find the words for it right now. It's the hand I've been dealt and I have no option but to "accept" it.... It's pretty much the only option I have at this point.View Thread



Have not seen a neurologist as of yet. Was in car accident(s) (rear ended twice in a three week period) back in 2008. I've been through my chiropractor, massage therapist, physical therapist, spine / pain management doctor, regular MD and next week an rheumatologist.......
BP has spiked uncontrollably since the accidents and has just gradually gotten worse as with my pain areas spreading. EKG's, Echo Cardiograms, MRI's, CT Scans, XRays, Blood Tests, Ultrasounds, etc, etc - On paper I'm healthy.....
I did an at home sleep study which showed many disturbances as well. I take Inderol for migraines and the hi bp, wellbutrin for depression.... I call it more of frustration, but it also keeps my pulse low, Flexeril to help me sleep, which doesn't really, but if I don't take it, I definitely feel it in the morning when I can hardly move. Savella new meds within the last month for FM, and Spironolact new this week for the bp. Mind you - this morning, the bp was still 196/139...... 3 days at those numbers now. I am 35, 125lbs (due to meds, used to be 115), 5'3", healthy and active person but yet overnight (so it seems) I feel as if my body has aged 30 years. I can at any time lie down and sleep for hours..... 8-10 hours of sleep (or toss & turn) at night and still can go back to sleep for 4 more hours.... Weird. I'm just exhausted.View Thread
