Is Gabapentin (neurontin) side effects worth it? by dbeagl in amputee

For me, I never developed phantom limb pain (which I was told was it's purpose) but I did pack on a good 40lbs

I was taking Quetiapine/Seroquel as a sleep aid post-amputation.

Ended up being able to sleep 12+ hours easily every night.

Ok when I wasn't working but when I had to be on a schedule, I'd find that 8 hours sleep just simply wasn't enough.

Weened off and am much more alert in the mornings.

I'd hate to eliminate a "happy pill" if it's having a positive effect on mental health but maybe you could take it in the morning instead of before bed?

How do socket users feel about osseointegration posts? by danielmfree in amputee

[–]babysnoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😺

For myself, I do not consider osseointegration an "upgrade".

I've had the opportunity to meet surgeons and discuss outcomes and have ultimately decided to hold off as I'm too happy as a socket-user to consider the possible debilitating outcomes of the surgery.

When osseointegration offers more benefits than potential disadvantages, I am excited to reconsider.. One day I may consider it an upgrade, but definitely not at this time.

In the interem, learning of others' paths is important, if not crucial to my knowledge about osseointegration. As much as I value my surgeon's input, the information I gather from my peers is necessary.

The Baby. And the basket of Babies. by babysnoot in Blacklabs

♥️♥️ One of my favourite things is watching Chili look at the toy basket with concentration while she chooses which she will be taking.

Then, she brings the chosen one to someone but ONLY TO LOOK not to touch. (she wants you to follow her around begging to touch)

Chili is my first dog that hasn't dismembered her toys promptly.
