During the three years that I lived on STX, I managed my chronic pain with the right combination of preventative meds and the occasional migraine injection (more about that to come...) which I was happy with. Then I was blessed with my second child and needed to move to where they had all the specialists a case like mine needed (found a great Neurologist who is a Myalgia Mommie with a full plate, she also suffers from migraines and has a two-year old, the test was simple- what will not pass thru breastmilk?) including the only perinatal inpatient mood disorder ward (more about PPD in a paper I wrote somewhere else).
I will really need to edit that sentence.
When bad things happen to good people in my life, I get sad. Then I try to fix them (I think that is the MPH "problem solving" thing again.) When I try to fix things I get a migraine. If it doesn't go away with medications, after about 5 days I would snap. I had to induce my new baby at 39 weeks because I had a blinding migraine for 2 weeks and there was nothing safe (that I wanted to expose Mimi to) that I could take. Ditto to breastmilk.
Another horribly written sentence.
Myalgia Mommies are any woman who lives with a form of chronic pain. I was thinking we could have 50 shades of committees for the number of mothers who live with a chronic medical condition. Kids are really hard to raise correctly, and we are doing it.
Winning!
If you are a myalgia mommie and want to share your story and your advice with this group, please enter a submission.
Also please form a submission review committee because we want to be nice to everyone. Only good people allowed in the club.
As soon as I can break this multi day migraine I am going to post my CV, I am very sensitive and insecure. Often I feel like people don't take me seriously.
This Deanna Doolittle thing has brought me out of retirement. I am now about to put on my big expert witness shoes that say "sorry, but you are a boy and can't walk in these, they make my calves look good so any discomfort is worth it." Don't worry, someone else is the stylist on the project!
I am really looking forward to going to CO to be with Deanna. Mostly because I get to hug her in person. Also we are getting a spa day, hair stylist, photo shoot, Kale chips and other amazing friends. Is it selfish of me to go and help her?
It is now past my bedtime and I have missed too many trains of thought lately.
Sweet dreams.
Cheers,
ALJ

Thank you for all the comments on this blog.
ReplyDeleteI am a private case manager and my practice is located on another blog that you can find under my name.
These days I am limited to only a few cases at a time and mostly advocacy for changing mental health laws. Due to my chronic illness I am not able to practice as much as my education and experience would suggest that I could. It is a constant source of sadness and guilt.
Please feel free to post any questions. If nothing else I can always point people in the right direction. After a 20 year career I have a great network of collegues that I can make a referral to.
Cheers,
Anna-Lisa
