Rabbit Update - The Sequel

[bk_forever]

So, new update. I just spoke to vetinary nurse Rhiannon, and Misty is out of surgery and awake. They're coaxing him to nibble some food and things are looking reasonably good. He's staying there another night so they can keep a close eye on him, just to be on the safe side, but I'm to phone at 9am tomorrow and hopefully he'll be well enough to come home then. I'll let you know when he's home.

Thank you to everyone for your hugs, good wishes, thoughts and prayers, you've helped me get through two very stressful, worrying days. I'm blessed to have so many great, animal-loving friends, you're the best!

Well life never turns out the way you expect it. Dr. Han is Chinese, but does not do acupunture. :O He kidded around a lot so I was not sure if he was telling me the truth or not. Michael explained it to me later. Obviously, Dr. Marshall either had him mixed up with another doctor or just though he might know of some help for me that didn't involve chemicals. lol! Dr. Han is hysterical! I like him and I did not have to get stuck with needles, instead, he gave me these Lidoderm patches to cut and stick to my vulva area. I will have to shave it first! Oh wonderful! I hate shaving my bikini line when I get ready for the beach and this is worse...I know...TMI! (Too Much Information!) I guess it is sort of like the lidicane gel I was using expect it is 2% strength and these are 5% strips that I keep on for 12 hours a day and then off for 12 hours a day. I just hope they don't cause irritation or I won't be able to use them. He also called in a prescription for some kind of cream for the pain. It is refrigerated and will come in the mail from Florida. Also, he gave me an antidepressant, not the kinds I read about being used for V, but maybe they all help the pain, it is just that I need a strong one since I am also depressed/Bipolar II and I need something for that so I will stop wanting to kill myself all the time. I am worried though because this one is an SSRI which is what sent me into "Serotonin storm" last year. Not this particular drug, but another serotonin medication, they are all simiular. This is another new one called Viibryd and it is not "suppose" to cause weight gain or kill my sex drive...like I need it right now anyway. My husband wouldn't mind though! I'm surprised he's not left me by now. All I know is he really loves me for some reason. :)

I'm going to start taking the Viibryd in the morning. Some people say it makes it hard for them to sleep at night. I need my sleep, I hope it doesn't do that. Also, I hope my face doesn't swell up again or I get an attack of the hives. The mood stabilizers seemed to be what was causing that the most, but who knows??? Here we go again! "To swell!"..."or not to swell!"..."that is the question!" YES! I'm a Loon!

Dr. Han has all kinds of ideas on how to get me out of pain which is what I want, but I also want to heal, and he shed no light on that subject. He was funny and fast talking and gave me lots of hope as far as pain relief goes, but at the same time, I never got to talk to him about healing from this condition. He probably doesn't know either. Oh, he is a Neurologist, not just a holisitic doctor. He can prescribe medications. He said if it got bad enough he could give me these shots in my V area...OUCH!...that would numb me up. I asked if it helped other women and he said yes. Told me I could come everyday, but I really would rather not have to do that unless it was a last resort.

THEY CUT ME AGAIN! LOL!

Continued on next post in reply to this same post.... :D

That's encouraging! I hope the Lidoderm strips help and that the antidepressant won't cause any problems. Also hope you won't need the injections, but at least it's there as a last resort option. Right now managing the pain and depression are what's important, when they're under control you can work on the healing.

Real love means you stick with someone through good and bad, and that's what you and Michael have. I know how difficult this is being for all three of you, but despite your ups and downs, you're sticking together and staying stronger that way than either of you would be on your own.

Keeping my fingers crossed! *hugs tight* Love ya! ♥

Well I took one antidepressant pill yesterday morning and I was fine most of the day. I noticed my scalp was itching when I went to bed and it worried me a little. I woke-up and little bit of my lip was swollen, but has gone down now and my left cheek feels a little swollen maybe, but I know it was the antidepressant. I didn't take Oxycodone last night so it was not that + by itself it only causes welts and itching. Oh and I had some welts too this morning along with the swelling. So as my BAD joke from the other post goes... TO SWELL or NOT....well cross out the "not!" I give up!!! My body is so messed up or my brain! I don't think there is any hope left now. Everytime I get a little hope from somewhere it gets smashed. I pray, I try to hang on. So it this it? I guess I will just always have to suffer. I'm sorry, just delete this if you want to.

I wish they had a stone or crystal for contiuous alleric reactions. I wonder if there is a "real" Dr. House out there. He could be as mean to me as he wants to and I would take it if it would fix me.
:(

Oh well. I'm crazy.

sorry,

love you,
Deb.

Ugh! That is SO not fair! I'll look into crystals for allergies, see if I can come up with anything that might help.

There is always hope, someone WILL figure this out, just hang in there, grit your teeth and be stubborn!

While I'm looking for crystals, talk to your bloodstone, tell it that it's calming your immune system, cleansing your blood and stopping allergic reactions. That's probably the best one you've got at the moment, but I'll look into the best ones for all kinds of allergies, rashes, itching etc.

*hugs very carefully* Love, J xxxxx

Hey girl!

You still awake? What time is it there?

Yes I have a stone or stones that said immune system and bloodstream somewhere. I'll find it now.

I need to calm myself down and stop crying right now. I'm getting a headache and I can't take anything for pain.

I'm so glad you are here. :) ...but if you are off to bed I understand.

[bk_forever]

Sorry, I went straight off to bed *hugs* I was so tired. You have a Black Obsidian for pain I think? I'll dig some other out for headaches if I can - I've done some research for allergies etc and started gathering a few crystals that might help from my hoard!

Hope you're feeling a bit better *hugs more*

Love ya! J xxxxx

Going through my really old posts right now. Can't sleep yet. Another crappy day!

I knew you went to sleep. I'm glad you did, it was awfully late. I was surprised when I realized you were posting.

Yes I have been using my Black Obsidian, but I have no idea if it works. Oh well, couldn't hurt. I have been holding and talking to lots of crystals, the bloodstone, rose quartz, moss agate, calcite, and amazonite the most. They are my buddies. Stones for "hope" calming, pain, inflamation, the amazonite is suppose to get rid of negitive energy which I need.

Did I tell you I tried the cream they sent me with pain killers + mood stablizer and an antidepressant in it and it still made my lip swell up and it is "topical!" The Gabipentin (mood stablizer) it numbs nerve endings, caused my bottom lip to swell up, not real horrible, but not good either, then by morning I had welts again and my upper lip swelled slightly though the bottom one was back to normal. I broke down crying again today. I only used "one" application of the cream yesterday and that was all it took for my body to go haywire! :( And even worse.... is the pain level was much better all day, but I can't go around with my lips swelling up all day long. I wish I could die sometimes!!! That's it! There is nothing else but crystals and maybe acupunture. I feel like I am being punished and I don't know what I did though I know it doesn't work that way. God doesn't punish while I'm on earth anyway, I don't think. Oh, surgery is left, but no quarantees that will solve the problem and it terrifies me! I don't want to be butchered down there...if it means cutting stuff off, not just removing overgrown nerves, then I guess I will just suffer until I die or it magically goes away, not likely. Sorry, I'm a pessimist. It is just that everytime I get any hope it is smashed! Another failure.

I am trying to find someone in town that knows how to perform this kind of acupunture, but I don't know if there is anyone. I called a group today who are checking into it and are suppose to call me back. I can't drives 2 hours to Atlanta or somewhere for weekly acupunture. I need to find someone here, but this place helps a lot of atheletes with arm, leg, back pain, etc., type problems. The woman I called had to write down the name of my condition because she had never heard of it of course! *rolls eyes* I need an old Chinaman that knows it all. lol! Maybe if they don't know this kind of acupuncture, they might know of someone else who does. I hope so. If not I will just have to keep looking. If all chemicals are out, there is nothing else. I've been told it works for V. for a lot of women.

Shutting up now! Sorry.

love Deb.

:(

It never ends, does it? Seems you need to be off all medication until it's all out of your system again before trying something new, everything is triggering an alleric reaction. =(

On a brighter note, there's a package in the post for you, I posted it this morning. Had to take mum for her annual doctors check-up and we did some shopping
afterwards. Now we're both exhausted. It's nearly 4.30 and I've only just had lunch!

[debmommy22.livejournal.com]

...and I am not sure even staying off all meds will make any difference. I think I am permanently allergic to most all pain relievers and anything that really effects my brain.

Thank you for the package. I will be looking for it. It took awhile last time for the first one to get here, but it has a long way to travel. lol! :)

Oh, I'm sorry you are so tired. Me too. Ate lunch with Michael and Alex at Alex's school today. He can't seem to eat lunch in the lunchroom, the noise of everyone talking and other sounds distracts him so he cannot eat. He has been bringing his lunch back home uneatened for years now. I always hoped he would eat something. He sometimes would eat the candy and I know he threw away some of it. Michael said he had the same trouble in school when he was a kid and would go outside and eat. Alex can't do that, not old enough so we are going to try to get with the priniciple and see if there is a quiet place he can sit and eat his lunch. I worry about him going all day with no lunch. He needs his energy and I don't want him to be hungry. :( We are even suppose to supply him with a healthy snack for later in the day. We have been sending grapes this week. Going to have to go buy him something else tomorrow. Running out of grapes. Not sure you needed to know that, but I am weird right now.

I hope you got home and rested some. I am going to bed early tonight, one way or another. I'm so tired.

love Deb. :)

Sometimes I think post would get to its destination faster by carrier pigeon! Hope it doesn't take as long this time.

Oh boy, I've been resting since I got home, put the car away, put everything back in the garage that I have to take out in order to get the car out, and put all the shopping away, but my feet are still throbbing and my legs ache. Feel like I could sleep for a week, well, if I could ever manage to stay asleep instead of waking up every couple of hours.

Poor Alex, I hope the principal can find him somewhere he can have his lunch in peace. Kids need regular meals to keep their concentration levels up. Hope you can find him something nice for snacks when the grapes run out. Speaking of snacks, I was naughty and bought myself some salted nuts for snacking on - pistachios, cashews and dry roasted peanuts. I wanted to get some Honey roasted peanuts and cashews, but they were so expensive I decided I'd better not. Not the healthiest things on earth because of the salt, but I do love them. I love dried cranberries too, they're much healthier and I have a few bags of them so I am eating some healthy things!

Think I might get an early night too.
*hugs tight* Love ya, J xxxx
