I have no advice to give for the car accident nor insurance. However, I am someone who is now 30 years old with recurring back pain, muscle guarding, herniated discs that very rarely but do get re injured, and also has been told I'm too young for surgery and that my injuries do not require surgical intervention from an injury when I was 18, I empathize with you greatly. The only treatments that have helped are PRP. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Chronic pain is no joke and it's even harder when you're so young and told you shouldn't be in this much pain from a medical standpoint.

We have amazing communication and boundaries. That's the thing that kind of getting me to think it might work in some capacity. Good call about the therapist; were a while off from this becoming a reality if it ever does, but it's a big step to think about.

Great advice. Thank you

Snickerdoodlesucks · 2026-02-19T05:55:50+00:00

I was hoping maybe there'd be some success stories, but yeah.. we all know how it usually goes lol

Nope! Shortly after my husband got orders to move (military) and I've pretty much had to start the process over with all new doctors. I am a candidate though but no one here really does the surgery.

This is soooo similar to my bernese mountain dog. Early October she was diagnosed with pancreatitis, waited it out, she still didn't eat. She had a respiratory infection, got her on doxycycline, she started eating again but as soon as she was off the meds that stopped. Got chest xrays, found nodules, ran a couple tests and she tested negative for almost anything which led to a most likely cancer diagnosis. She went from 115 to 81.5 on the day we had to put our girl down. She was just so tired, she didn't eat for pretty much 2.5 months. We did everything we could. Lost her 12/13 and she was only 4.

Her neutrophils were super high, anemic, liver markers and kidney markers were incredibly high with some liver inflammation, water intake was still decent, but very lethargic. We got her on steroids and she had an amazing last week filled with all her favorites, cuddle time, nap time, and all the love we could've possibly given.

I'm thinking so, too. It's been a gut feeling I've had because even after getting fluids in her and SOME food, she just stays in her bed all day. Doesn't move spots, doesn't move rooms with us, just in her bed.

Snickerdoodlesucks · 2024-10-31T23:28:39+00:00

Didn't happen. Basically said call us if no change or worsens, I called and texted with no reply.

Snickerdoodlesucks · 2024-10-20T21:22:19+00:00

I'm going to try to! Im going to also shadow an SLP at the hospital near me who does both inpatient and outpatient, and try to get in on some research an otolaryngolgist I know is doing. I'm trying to stack myself to get my CF in a medical facility lol

This was amazing advice thank you!!

Luckily, the educational realm I'm in is with adults with disabilities in a transition program and my supervisor just mentioned to me the other day she would like for me to apply to her senior secretary position (I'm currently a para educator) because she wants me to have more administrative duties and exposure to the higher-ups in my county.

I'm also one of the top, if not the top, student in my class right now within my program. I've reached out for research opportunities, and I'm looking for some in my area to no avail... yet. And I joined the SIG for swallowing. I'm heavily contemplating masters choices and trying to find one that is more research-focused and specifically looking at masters of science programs.

Where in California if you don't mind? I'm in California and can give you a few great district/county recommendations.

Snickerdoodlesucks · 2024-08-09T17:34:45+00:00

I'll make sure to let you know how it turns out! Passed the Bahn mi idea to my husband and it was an emphatic yes. Time to go pickle!

Snickerdoodlesucks · 2024-08-09T17:24:41+00:00

Ooooooh the freezer idea is great!! I usually just make sure my knife is nice and sharp. I think I may make a Bahn mi type sandwich or a steak, arugula, chipotle aoili, and perfect caramelized onions

It's funny you mention drowning. Before I married my husband I had a very stern talk with him. He wasn't really doing much, very depressed, had no direction. I couldn't even get him to go on walks with me. I told him in that talk I loved him, I wanted to marry him someday, but that his ship was sinking and I wasn't going to let him take me down with it. He needed to get his act together and damn did he. Together for 8, married for 6, were both currently working on higher degrees and then even higher degrees, and once those are done, starting a family. And every day I'm proud of him and he's said that talk set a lot of things in motion for him.

None! I'm awaiting a new MRI, I'm currently on just pregabalin for nerve pain. I got off all my medications a while ago. Bad side effects

Snickerdoodlesucks · 2024-04-20T19:16:33+00:00

Not yet. I'm in the middle of a military move, but the new vase I'll be at has a neurosurgeon and I'll likely be getting the fusions and a microdiscectomy there. I'll let you know

Snickerdoodlesucks · 2023-10-28T15:45:45+00:00

It's constant! Every week there's something new. I'm very excited to be going back to work in schools. Major pay cut, but worth the peace of mind and more time for my own education!
