This Is A Rant... Do Not Click This If You Dont Wanna Read a LOT of Bitching
I fucking warned you in the title...

let the bitching begin!

aculabegun

My wife has been having some hella pain for the last 6 months. She has been in a lot of misery. She has just now been able to walk a mile without giving up from the pain. Her back kills her and her leg.

I been taking a care of her, my mom, and my father... all 3 have some medical issues.

I wont get into the problems of my parents...

But I mentioned beforet that my wife needed an MRI on the 5th of this month... I lucked out and was able to get the MRI...
500 dollars is now $2,000
gotta love loans... yay ! lol at least she got it!

Anyways the MRI results came back and turns out she has an Herniated Disc in her lower back thats pushing on her sciatic nerve. Causing pain down her entire leg.
as well as a Tarlov cyst... on her spine
which from what I gather is a collection of spinal fluid. The Doctor said it was a severe case
and was quite perplexed/baffled as to why this had happened... she just turned 28, 130 Pounds had a active lifestyle...

but hasnt done any physical labor... and has no real reason to have this sort of issue.

but she has the spine of someone triple her age?!

She hurt herself last june while running and has problems ever since. A simple run just like many before…
it baffles the doctor… how did THAT fuck up her back?!

The doctor said the only relief to her pain was surgery.

She doesnt take pain meds any stronger than Tylenol and its took months of self therapy with my help to overcome the pain to be able to function on her own somewhat.
‘Mind over matter… type stuff’


But surgery isn’t happening anytime soon… I live in an economic hell hole… and no I don’t want your money, this isn’t a begging or an attempt to collect money. I just wanna bitch.

I try to be strong for her... but mother fucker I am so fucking hurt that this is happening... I don’t know If I wanna cry, punch something or just sit here and act normal lol


Don’t get me wrong I know we are not the ‘worst case’ out there… we are very lucky and blessed.
I was glad to hear my wife’s diagnosis over something like cancer… which had me pretty stressed… thinking it was a possibility…

Even still its nerving. I’ll be by her side and stick it out…
“Sickness and Health” no matter what I will keep those vows.

And this long ramble … is so I can vent to you all
so I can remain rock solid to her.


But have anyone of you heard of such in someone with a active lifestyle? That’s not over weight and only 28?

Oh…
we’ll never have kids… turns out she is infertile.
we wanted a child so bad.
Oh well.

since I'm bitching...

Just had a job contract crash and burn to the ground a great chance to open up plenty of financial opportunity/work …gone, down the fucking drain… one of my so called friends fucked me over. Spent hours and hours and hours working on a project for him and now... poof nothing nada



So there is it… some of my fucking problems. Lol

we'll make it through this :)

Sorry for your wife's pain.

The stress alone can make anyone age before their time.

Just wanted to say that you are not alone and we ALL have financial problems to deal with, i do not want to make this about $$$, but i think most of us know just how much easier problems would be without the corruption of society (greed) making health problems turn into MT. Everest.

Rant away friend... I hope that blowing off a little steam will help because you seem to have your hands full.

The type of cyst your wife has, spinal fluid on the spine, must be awfully painful. I actually know someone who had this fluid type cyst on their brain.

I hope things get easier for you and your entire family.
Blessings to all !hf

Thanks for responding to my thread of equal dispair. Remember it is not your fault and that we exist to serve the people we love. Tell your wife to give up the diet soda and processed foods, eat more raw vegetables and get plenty of rest.

If you need work, then you may have to move. The oil patch in North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming are booming. You can not fail at getting an awesome paying job.

It's an extremely common thing, the 'herniated' disc, slipped disc, squashed disc, unusual at her age but can happen. Don't go for surgery, you just use ibuproven (with lots of food, will burn holes in your stomach without it) and hot water bottles.

I can't take ibuproven anymore, my stomach doesn't like it, but I don't have the extreme pain anymore.

PS, you didn't need an MRI to diagnose this.

Here is some helpful and probably unwanted advice but just file it away: there are drugs other than narcotics that can help with pain, Elevil, Cymbalta (I take Cymbalta-shitload of side effects btw) Neurontin, Lyrica. Neurontin may help a lot...Elevil used to be really cheap may still be

Dam Dr Acula, sorry to hear that. I do not want to upset you anymore, but i lost a dear friend october 2011 to this [link to en.wikipedia.org]

They first told him a story similar to what you have described, he even had a metal brace inserted at the base of his spine. When they finally diagnosed him with this disease he lived only 3 months after.

I have been trying to find in my own research what the cause is, i just don't know. However in a large percentage of these cases, the victims had some sort of military background and vaccinations etc.

There is no cure and it strikes healthy young people to old people. I am truly hopeful for you mate this is not the case, take care.hf

thank you :)

i wouldnt leave her over that...

fuck could easily be me...

a few years back I was on the back of a wagon being pulled by a tractor... bailing hay...

the dumbass driver wrecked it... flipped the wagon and propelled me 20 feet into the air... i hit the ground... but before i did I made myself roll and that transferred the impact energy and kept me moving so I didnt get squashed by 200 pound hay bails lol

The people I was with thought I was dead... cos when I stopped moving I remained still... mental damage control to see if I broke anything lol

I got up and was fine... but i could have easily been messed up bad...

So the shoe could be on the other foot... it could be me messed up... i wouldnt wanna be alone ya know :)
