Major panick attack lawyer at 10A left notes on mri gave to nurse

Physical Health Chronic Pain

Oh my goodness, as if suing my landlord was not enough stress. I was supposed to meet with an attorney from bay area legal at 10A. I was just getting everything ready, and I realized I wrote the address, name, and number of the attorney I was supposed to meet on the backside of my C-Spine MRI. I gave the brain and spine MRI's to the nurse today at pain management, and I gave her my originals to make copies of, but did not realize it until I got home. Now I realize my notes were also on there to meet the attorney @10A!

Argh!

I filed my appeal last week, but today is the fifth day, and final day to append your appeal, add to it, or present any new supporting documents.

I already was not going to be able to sleep tonight! Now I have to call the center early, find out if my notes are on my MRI other side, also as back up try to call the legal office to get through. It is a program, you call in and leave a message, then a screener gets back to you, sometimes several times, then an attorney who will take the case calls you to set up a meeting.

If I call, and get the center, it may be days before they get back to me.

I am nearly screwed!

I blame the lesions, and the pain, and the stress. I am in bad shape again. Was already dealing with painful spasms all day, and currently, but I was in a decent mental mood. Now that is shot as well.

Well, if anyone is up, I'd appreciate anything. I am going to try to relax, but I don't know now.

Breathe. It will be okay, one way or another. But I do hope it all turns out the way you want it to!

trueimage…right on dear…and do you make house calls hun? hehe love your auto signature.

trying to relax, 1 roommate made us some hot breakfast. helps having people around. I screwed up, it is my fault. I lose track of everything in the course of a day. I luckily had a ride to my doctors apps yesterday, but I just lost track of myself, and my surroundings forgetting the lawyer notes on the back of my mri papers. Thanks for the support!

How did this turn out for you? I would have panicked too! You have to deal with so much. Makes me feel bad for whining about my alcohol problem when you are supporting me while going through everything that you are. You are an amazing strong person!!! When you find your mental mood going down, picture me smiling at you. That could either make you smile or scare you, not sure LOL! I hope you have a much better day today!

remeber -if it doesn't work out in the end-it's not the end.Ps-I'm glad you're in the Bay area-I finally know somebody here in my time zone :) so keep us posted how things go.best wishes!!

hello HealedbyFaith, I had it rough, but it worked out. Here is how it played out. to start off, I did not sleep! Was up from like I don't know, noon the day before. nurse called me from home around 9a, said she would not be in office until after 10a. I guessed at which attorney office to go to, and left early in case it was the wrong one. I got it right! talked to attorney, and said i had a fighting chance. still no answer from court at that time. went home, in pain, so had to ride MC with one hand 7 miles, made all green lights! put bike away, and tried to lay down but panick attack was still in full force. 11a had to call courts, still no word, but said they would call me when news came in of the judges decision. 12:30p nurse called, no notes on back of MRI's! 3:30p court called, Judge upheld me appeal! Finally, the feed is starting to tilt in my favor! my mind was still racing, clerk told me I had nothing to worry about, other party (landlord) had to file more paperwork now, and that a hearing would be scheduled if he did. 10P finall able to take most of my night meds, first time in nearly two weeks. slept till nearly 2p next day, today, thursday. Feel better. Knots in stomach, only water, and a banana shake with some meds so far today, but I did get out and do some yard work. Shaking, and back pain, posssibly will eat solid meal later, but for now trying to relax! Thanks for the support all!

donnak, Tampa Bay, not San Fran, although I been there like 50 times. No, you live in WA, so not same time zone. I used to live in Van WA, but moved back to FL about three years ago. So when you are up late, I have never slept. You make message at 1a, I am up it is 4a.

hope and sunshine to all, John

Glad it is tilting your way! I just cannot imagine your day to day life, God bless you for supporting others when you have so much going on.

You guys are far away from me. I live in Ohio and I am so ready for summer. It has rained and been cold, very strange weather for these parts.

Donnak, TrueImage, and others are so strong, and I am so appriciative that they continue to hel pothers despite what they are going through! I thank you as well and thank you for the smiles, and well wishes. I used to live in Akron by the way. Peace and warmth, John

BUT I always have lots of hugs-here's some extra for you to spread around.Sounds like things worked ok at court-sometimes good enough is good enough.so hang in there from now on I want to trade hugs for sunshine!rain,rain and rain,there is that one day in august! seriously tho you are stronger than you give yourself credit-I never could've done what you did! I had a landlord cash my check,I went away for xmas,asked her to wait 'til the first-she didn't.I came home to no lights,heat and a three day notice,evicted and sued for breaking the lease-I didn't go to court-(drunk;drugs) and had my wages attatched and started my long,hard 3 yr relapse.that was awhile ago.so best wishes;heres some more hugs-we're getting more sunshine tommorrow.oh yeah I spent most of my springtimes in madiera beach as a kid.Goodnight I'll go to sleep now if you sleep late for me :)

11

yes, I am up. I'll send you sunshine, you send me pics from the 205 bridge of Mt Hood on a clear day! I long to ski again. No sleep 4 me, too much anxiety, even went for a walk, cannot get heart rate down, see my post in profile for explanation.

thanks for hugs, always need em. Some for you to, plus here is your warm sunshine to dry your wet feet.

12

thanx a gazillion-it'l be 74 today!I see you're offline right now so I trust you're sleeping in-me not so much-5 hrs don't quite cut it.I always have a hard time at work on fri' so the anxiety adds to my insomnia.got some beta blockers and that might be helping my anxiety-if my heart rate can't go up-no anxiety.my husband used to take inderal for anxiety-ask your prescriber-?well here's you're picture of Mt Hood -close your eyes and see the bright white against the azure sky.the mountain shines like a beacon when the weathers clear.I drive the 205 to work every afternoon and my weather guage is when I see Mt hood or not.Well cya later mickguitar.thanx for being here

13

out of the clear blue sky! 74 is decent, I got 85 on my way to 92, feels great! I set my ac at 82, love the warm sun on my back. tried to sleep, got some, sigh. thanks for pics of mt hood. loved it, miss that place. hope ur anxiety goes away, and you are filled with hope and sunshine. chromium picolinate is one of my additives, a super wonder nature gave us to enjoy, curves off everything from flying monkeys to mood swings. stimulates the activity of insulin, increases the production of seratonin, increases protein synthesis, wonderful over the counter stuff!

(warding off flying monkeys claim still under clinical study)

peace and warmth, john

rocksasamickguitar.....you do have so much doing dear, i'm sorry hun. i have had much trouble keeping it together myself the last month, so i can't imagine how hard it is for you. well for all y'all on this post sending sending some nice hot, sticky, dripping humid weather your way.....rocks hun i do hope you have a peaceful sunday......

15

thnx for hugs and well wishes Kathy!!!!

yes, Sunday finds john well!!

New meds doing great things, and doubled dos of the one, well, I guess they know what they are doing. I feel mentally well today, and I walked this early am most miles in over a year, 5.6, so that makes me very happy! Of course in constant pain, but see other doct later this week for more um, epidural, and opiates.

I love the Sun! Thank you for sharing Houston! We send out our rays to the N all winter long, but rarely do they penetrate the thick blankets of snow, and ice. I live down here so my body does not lock up from the cold. keep my central ac on 80, and it feels wonderful!

Peace and hope and hugs to all who are weary, yet still support the needy, John

oh john, such good news hun. what i difference in your post. so what ever your doing keep doing it. you really sound relaxed hun. now tell me about this epidural/opiates business if you don't mind. just been that route from march to october 2010, just had spinal surgery/implants for my pain so i'm very interested in what is going on with you dear.

17

Ok, so I am in a good mental mood right now, although my body is in pain. I crack and pop when i walk, and sometimes the pain from my back is so sharp I get sick to my stomach, and cannot eat. I have only had a carnation shake with milk and a banana today with my meds, and vitamins. Maybe eat a solid meal later, but maybe not.

So the back thing, oh my gosh, I need a new spine basically. Been putting off the shots for a year. Just started my B12 shots Sat, put those off for two months, gotta get eight more they say.

Yes, they are considering the inplants in the back thing, but also for my heart as well. So I am a mess all around. Need one of two surgeries for the lesions/sezuires, the chest implant like a defib, the one for the pain injections for the back, plus still get the B12's for the anemia. All that I still have to put up with the deep muscle spasms, see utube vid on that.

My latest of my total 8 MRI's shows two T2 and FLAIR hyper-intense lesions one each on the frontal lobes. C2-C3 & C3-C4 loss of anterior disk height, C4-C5 loss of posterior disk height with annular bulge, C5-C6 loss of posterior disk height with central disk protrusion, and an annular tear...C6-C7 loss of posterior disk height with loss of disk signal intensity, an annular bulge, and flattening of the anterior surface cord. C7-T1 loss of posterior disk height.

Since last Summer my resting BPM has been going up to as high as 240, and several times so far this year 224, 240, etc. Even on a 1.3 avg mph walk, 240 bpm heartrate. I wore a holter unit for two days along with my gps coded heart rate monitor and my reg md could not believe it! I went to a cardiologist for more tests, and a nuclear stress test a couple weeks a go. waiting to hear what they have to say now, but i know the answer.

So when i have to deal with outside other wordly stresses as well, argh, i nearly have strokes! Has put me in the hospital b4, and is a taxing event on my body.

I like peace. I like warm sun on my back. I like a hot meal in my belly. I like a natural sleep for more than five hours. I like having friends that can relate to my ailments, offer support, hope, and advice.

Hugs from New Port Richey, John

this village of moon lake, very obscure. 30 miles N of Tampa. not really New Port Richey, but they soaked us up when we got incorporated. Really 7 miles from port richey, and 10 miles from new port richey out in the boonies!

Yes, not only am I a mess, but i am also a client. I ate the grey M&M before I knew there was a contest. I called people Yahoos at meetings when I worked for Sensormatic, and Dreher before it was invented. I am well aware I have more ailments than most, but still more to be thankful for than some.

We not only carry crosses, we also make them for others, sometimes carry them as well when they cannot. I am a highwayman, I'll always be around, around, around...

I want to thank you all so very much for accepting another into your click. Thank goodness for inequeties. The weaknesses I have make my strengths stand out. Who wants to dwell on that all the time. Good with the good I say. Course today is a healthy mental day, Monday I may feel like throwing in the towel, Tuesday may be better, Wednesday, who knows...How many end of the worlds have there been now? I lost count.

love ya all, and your support carries me far, John
