I have been strugling with my RA and Hyper Active Attention Defficite disorder. Smoking Marijuana used to calm me down and keep me focused, and my Flexeril used to keep me relaxed. But when I turned to my doctors they don't listen or take me seriously, Like I couldn't possibly Know enough to make medical decisions and observations about my own body! Luckily I had a break through!
I got into a bad auto accident, and cause I always live in a Pain rate of 6-7 I said I'm Fine! In the days to follow I started to have severe pain in the neck where the brain stem turns into the spine, pushing myself to LIVE LIFE I exaserbated the initial WhipLash injury that I Non-Shalantly pushed the pain to the side. Of Course this landed me in the hospital where I had a Breakthrough.
But first I must Express My Disgust fot The American Hospital and Medical System! After a Gruiling four hour wait in the over crowded waiting room on a monday night full of patients that had ailments that should and could have been if not prevented but also taken care of by any liscensed physician. The amount of True Suffering was evelant and ignored by the multitude of staff that came back and fourth. In my own personal agony the worst was not the actual pain in my neck , or the accumulating pain all over due to the cramping from being confined to a wheelchair, but the inner distain I felt cause I loathe having to show and share my Suffering with others, for it is one thing to suffer in private silence, but to have to do it publically and to not be able to hold back verbally.
But here is the Silver Lining, The ER Doc. Took the word I spoke for face value didn't try to read into it, trying to discreditt my honest feelings on my own Body and Health. He told me to stop taking the Flexeril and gave me Valium! Amazing I am slower but able to function! Now I just have to get my Rheumatologist on Board! Yeah Clearity and the ability to Lay Back and roll withe the ebbs and flows of life! Peace, Love, Unity, Respect!
