Life has become unbearable

[Whitefooted]

Please help me. The cervical dystonia pain in my neck is becoming truly unbearable. I refuse to keep living like this. The only medication I take is Klonopin, but I've been taking it too long at about 1 milligram a day. It doesn't help anymore. Im not going to live much longer with this pain and pressure and slight head tremors. My neck wants to turn to the right. I'm no longer a normal human being

Hello Whitefooted..i see ur in the U.S...so im gonna suggest what i use n helps me with my Dystonia n my Dystonic storms..medical marijuana.. it stops what ur describing n givrs me relief from the horrific pain.

I used presc meds for over 25 years with no relief n just horrific side effects.

Mm has given me my life back n im a med mess.If ya have any questions about the mm feel free to pm me.

It wont cure it but it will let ya live again.

[Whitefooted in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much for your kindness. People like you give so much hope to the world by their caring. I'm definitely willing to try mm. Sometimes in the past the marijuana has given me a bit of anxiety. Is there a certain strain that removes the anxiety from the marijuana? Drinking alcohol and then smoking has had good results but of course I can't drink all day long or have the capability to do so. Even drinking alcohol has helped me but I can't take the hangovers at my age.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Heres the answers to ur questions.

Medical marijuana has different results for different people.I suggest a dispensary that sells organic,tested mm.U can ask what strains can cause anxiety.

As far as drinking n using medical marijuana..i wouldnt suggest it as alchohol is a depressant AND it can change what the strain ur using does to help u.

Also medical marijuana is TOTALLY different than recreational n is grown specifically for med reasons.

[Whitefooted in reply to Hidden]

Hi, sorry for my late response. Can a doctor prescribe mm for me? Or do I have to go to a dispensary?

[Hidden in reply to Whitefooted]

You need to check your states rules on medical marijuana first.Usually first step is having ur doctor fill out ur mm license application. You pay a fee for your yearly license n then u take it to a dispensary of your choice.You need a license to get into mm dispensaries.Recreational dispensaries dont require licenses but they also dont sell medical marijuana.

[Whitefooted in reply to Hidden]

Oh ok. I'll check the rules of North Carolina then.

[Whitefooted in reply to Whitefooted]

It doesn't look too promising in North Carolina

[Hidden in reply to Whitefooted]

Sorry to hear about ur states mm laws.i think it should be accesible to any/all who can benefit from it😣

[Whitefooted in reply to Hidden]

Yes. I went to a neurologist Monday and all she recommended was Botox. Next time I'm in Florida I will get some mm cause it's legal there. Thanks for helping me out sir.

[Whitefooted in reply to Whitefooted]

Oh and she also recommend that I take a pill called cymbalta

[Hidden in reply to Whitefooted]

Hi, have they not offered you botox shots? It’s the only thing that made life worth living again for me. Like you I became immune to klonopin, I weaned very slowly down to a quarter pill a day and then upped it again. It worked again then. Please ask your neuro for botox.

[Whitefooted in reply to Adaboo]

Thank you so much Adaboo. I did try Botox shots but they didn't seem to help me much. I even tried acupuncture a few times. Monday I'll be going to a new neurologist in North Carolina. I'll keep all you wonderful people up to date on what she says to me. I hope she doesn't recommend a pill cause I already feel addicted to Klonopin although it barely helps

[Adaboo in reply to Whitefooted]

Botox took a few times to work, there are also different types of Botox. Good luck

Hi

I so feel for you as I'm walking your path also and know exactly what you are going through. I take clonanazepan, naproxen and venlafaxine all on a low dose. I find heat is the best. Please message me at any time. There is so little support and understanding for this condition and we need to be there for each other. Sending you love and light x

[Whitefooted in reply to Peacelovelight]

Thank you peacelovelight. You are so kind. People like you lift my spirits so much. I truly appreciate your kindness. I will try to explain my condition in more detail later on.

Hi! Have you tried a Neck Hammock? Google!!

[Whitefooted]

Hi,

Thanks for your honesty.

I can only encourage you to try and hang in there and don't give up. Don't let this illness get the better of you.

Of course this is easier said than done.

Due to the lockdown I have not had any botox treatment for 7 months and same for regular acupuncture sessions. It has been a horrendous time (trying not to get stressed as have been off work for many months ) and to me feels like all the good progress made in over a decade has been wiped out. Ask your GP if you could try an anti-spasmodic medicine which could be beneficial.

Take each day as it comes. You are strong and it will get better.

Take care now.

[Whitefooted in reply to NUTZ]

Thanks for your beautiful kindness nutz. I'm thinking we all must carry some sort of burden in this world. This one happens to be ours. I try to remain strong. Many times now the desperation and sadness takes over me. C'est la vie..yes? I hope and wish your economic life gets back to a comfortable level. I also hope you can get your treatments back again. You are extremely kind and it's people like you and with your golden heart that makes people like me feel better. Thank you again.
