[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 286909, member: 1514"] I know exactly how lonely and daunting and just plain old ticked off it can be to deal with all these invisible illnesses. From sometime in mid 1999 until I actually got my disability in 2007, I was tormented by the what ifs. Even now I dont think we have things really correct. If my diagnosis's are correct, I shouldnt be getting worse at such an alarming rate but no one listens to me. Who am I but just the patient...lol. I know when I quit working it was because of my mom but I know in my heart that I couldnt have held on much longer because of the combo of the bipolar and the pain issues. They were starting to intrude more and more into my work life. I couldnt hide behind my wall as well anymore. I was starting to crack and have episodes at work from the bipolar because of how much pain I was in. That had never happened to me before. It was downright scary. I didnt know how to handle it and was starting to seclude myself. There were times back then I wanted nothing more than to just drive under a semi and just die. No one could or would tell me what was wrong with me. I would go from doctor to doctor with no answers. Eventually you do make it through though. At this point I really dont care what they call it. Timer Lady is right, give the medications time to at least attempt to work. Im going back on neurontin because the nerve pain is getting bad again. Its not one of my favorite medicines but oh well. I cant take lyrica. You just gotta keep trying. [/QUOTE]
