Today I started Abilify. No, it's not the cannabis; it's the world that i'm trying to fit back into and this is part of the treatment.
I said before that I do not play about mental health. In 2004 when I was diagnosed with MS, I was mostly upset because it affected my actual brain. That's going all in. I was devastated. I began twitching long after the initial relapse was gone and I was in "MS Remission" because I'd have to relive the "bad news" over and over and over again constantly. Learning to communicate with others was simple enough because I would hide the fact that I was reliving it over and over again. And thais the PTSD aspect of it and I typically don't get treated via pharmaceuticals but because so much of my cognitive problems have gotten worst over the years, fast forwarding to 2016 as of today I am on four different psyche pills to keep me sane. It was three initially but because I really wanted to punch the MS doctor in the eye, and the fact that I can't let it go, we felt it necessary to treat my psyche issues asap instead of letting them go, and they understand how I was treated in that MS appointment was wrong. Thank GOD I had a witness, ya know, and #kochecooper to see about. It would have been a hot mess had I just gone off on him for not giving me adequate treatment because he wanted to push more pharmaceuticals. This, coming from a man who clearly did not read my chart and know that I'm a full psyche patient. smh I don't know, I stay to myself when I have to however the pain of MS has been being treated by organic means because I refuse to put some MS stuff in my body if they do not have a cure for it because the risks are too great. And I know they are too great because I have an entire team behind me helping me not put unnecessary meds in my system. Apparently MR MS NEURO wasn't on board.
Today I drank water and ate a salad. I ate a lot over the last few days with a full time caregiver but alas I have a few days on my own. I'm going to try to eat. but MS does give huge head pain and I was denied massage therapy or acupuncture unless I pay for it on my own by the MS Neuro doctor, so that's where I am at. The pain is too unbearable and I have no idea if there is anything wrong in there but they want me to take meds not even having a MRI. Clearly they saw that I was not walking straight and no, I hadn't taken ANY treatment that morning, went in just my un-medicated self. My pain was at a 5 perhaps because I got a brief massage before the office visit. So today my head is hurting out of my mind through my eyes, in my temple, in the back of my head, on the top of my head and when my sis called she said "go smoke" so I did and it finally went down a bit. But then it came back and I tried to sleep it off but I wasn't at home so it was very uncomfortable. I don't want the pain meds, I want the massage and acupuncture. It's just not fair. They know what I go through. THere is no NEED to take those meds to slow down the progression if you see that yes ,I have MS, but I am managing everything with the help of being in a zen environment as much as I can and getting the proper support I need and being in agreement with me and my tea on my treatment. This neuro ms doctor told me it was too expensive to give me a mri.
Anyway,I still have time to make a decision. I have to research more, but I have readers block and writers block becuase ive been mad at the doctor. smh. mad at life because all the Dr is trying to do is help me. sometimes i'm mad then sometimes i'm joyful so it's all weird. But I'll save that for another post. That's another story altogether. Peace, love, and light and please pray i get some organic therapy for my pain. My entire body is cramping so i'm going to sleep. Oh, and not to mention over active bladder, also something acupuncture could stop.
