Secretps...HI...you sure do have us here to support you, but what is going on with the negative feelings toward husbands on this forum with some of the ladies????
I think some people need to get it off their chests. This is just my opinion, but this must be having an effect on your healing with this kind of feeling about your better half? I promise I'm not judging you...can we or how can we help??????? Hugs to all!! :)
Hi Margie...I'm so happy you are having some good days! That makes such a difference, I'm sure!! Thank you for asking about my situation......I haven't tried Klonapin, and I'm glad it's helping you out on those painful days, they are the worst! I'm working to not take any pain meds only because they don't help. I've been through so many, plus muscle relaxers plus nerve meds to no avail....and I just hate taking any chemicals, but this nerve damage left me no choice. So I try to eat healthy, all the things we all talk about. Exercise, water, rest, no salt, vitamines, and all that.
The nerve pain really isn't better....I guess as springup said I'm learning to live with it. Some days I can make it through and some days I spend on the sofa in agony. Some days when I'm at work and it's really painful, those are the worst times.....I get through it somehow and usually feel better by the end of the day for sticking it out. Other than more surgery....there seems to be no help. I just can NOT imagine putting myself through MORE surgery even if by some miracle....and I have my doubts....it corrects this nerve damage. It just doesn't seem possible. So I'm still pondering. I have one more professional opinion to get from an exclusive PS...still waiting for my appointment....so time will tell. But surgeons perform surgery to fix things, that is what they know, so..........(sigh)
I can only say I'm glad I had the surgery....I was so sad EVERYTIME I saw my face....I still have some jowels that I was suppose to go back and get redone...lol....right! Having said that the trade off of the surgery hasn't been worth the pain but since I can not go back and undo what has been done, I am accepting my decision that I made 13 months ago(I have no choice) and I am working to look on the bright side....it could have been oh so much worse!
I wish everyone Happy Healing! Hugs to all! :)
Ebaab61, just a quick response to your post. I respect your opinion on this forum. I do hope you are having an buncomplicated recovery from facelift surgery. I also value and respect the opinions of all of the other ladies on this forum and my treasured husband and family, who without, I would not have made it through this, for me, exremely difficult and challenging ongoing recovery phase from my facelift surgery.
I, also, like so many others, had the best that could be had in Surgeons. Sometimes dealing with cutting so many nerves and muscles, things just don't always go as planned. Plain and simple.
Why we decided to have surgery is each persons own decision.
To want to see improvements in our looks is not uncommon nor is it vain, it is normal. Yes, I would LOVE for people to say WOW you look great!!
But dealing with chronic nerve pain and the stress of it takes it's toll. We all just were hoping for better results and find comfort, hope and sounding boards here on this forum! This has become a true sisterhood of caring and bonding for those of us that truly are experiencing "exactly" the same issues and how to walk through each day just a little bit easier with sisters by our side....wherever they are. Hugs to all!!! :)
Hi...I have to chime in on chasemommy! Not hearing as well on the cell phone or just hearing. Who knew! This is a NEW side effect for me after 13 months!!
When will this all just begin to get get better?!?! The list of pluses and minuses, hummmm....one side is sure tipping the balance!
The good news. The weather forecast for the weekend in the mid 70's the weekend! So FINALLY we got a belated spring....yahoo!!!!!
Hugs to all.... :)
Nice to see you here springup!! Hope your doing better!! I'm going to try the collagen capsules AND resveritol chews!!! I figure they can't hurt as I have no facial fat at all...maybe that will help with my jowel issues?! Thanks ladies!!
Fixmyface....I hope you are feeling better!
13 months post op.....there are still so many disappointing issues that I am dealing with.
I, like springup, am learning to deal with it and am thankful it isn't worse!!!!!
Hugs to all!!! Pbelli
