Support Groups
Close Degenerative Disc Disease
This last year has been a downward spiral of emotions and I feel useless and feel I'd rather not wake up in the morning. I guess I'm taking right steps as I joined Depression group. I feel communicating with others like me will help as during day I've got little dog as my company and after going to Support meeting I found talking was helping
Treatments
- Hydrocodone Working / Worked
- Works except on bad days
- Oxycodone Working / Worked
- works on bad days but Dr took me off and put me on hydrocodone
- Cyclobenzaprine Not Working
- doesn't take the spasms away makes me spacy
- DailyStrength Working / Worked
- Thanks DS
- Ultram Somewhat Helpful
- but I felt like I was on edge of tall building looking down
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionDepressed from chronic pain,loss of livelihood(can't work), and being #$%@'d on tax rebate check was last straw. I had such tightness in core and felt dead inside. I felt like "why wake up" and "useless" and totally hopeless. Quit eating for almost a week didn't sleep and on the worst day I told myself to call and reach out and get help.
Treatments
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- helps by channeling you into being more proactive with life and problems
- Prozac Working / Worked
- prescribed by Dr. Don't like ANYTHING I can't stop taking and because of it's side affects
- Writing Working / Worked
- very helpful but side affects could be increased pain from sitting at computer
- Phototherapy Working / Worked
- feel its important as it keeps one from going to the dark side
