  Not when teens have access to finance 101 classes in high school. It was an elective in my HS and you better believe I took it. I learned how to do my taxes, balance a budget. It was great. I wish this was a hard requirement for all HS students.

  Holy shit, the term, the straw that broke the camel’s back is too real in your situation. I’m glad the neurosurgeon and surgery worked out for you! What was your actual diagnosis if you don’t mind me asking?

  Thank you!!! Just ordered it :)

  No apologies necessary. I appreciate the advice. Thank you. 💜

  I’ve been telling my mom to go to the Mayo Clinic for her chronic cough for years. I’ll check it out.

  Oh my dear, I wish Cyclobenzaprine or any muscles relaxers worked for these episodes. They don’t. They are definitely helpful after the initial episode.

  I suppose I felt compelled to make this post because I was feeling (and still am) completely dejected. I put so much work into my previous recovery and continued prevention. When it all comes crashing back down on you, its hard to know how to feel about it.

  University of Washington. This is good to know! I’ll poke around and see if I can find any recent work on this. Thank you!

  First, thank you for comment. I couldn’t have explained this experience better myself. I’m so sorry you experience this. I don’t wish this upon anyone. (Except my mortal enemies but that’s a story for another day 😉)

  And you’re right, It’s not only the pain but the intense state of stock as well as the hazy memory and speech.

  Sounds like you have a solid recovery routine which is the same as me. I do find a few rounds of acupuncture also helps with inflammation and range of motion. I think im going to start taking Yoga classes along with my strength training. Here’s hoping this reduces the episodes.

  And here’s hoping your last episode is truly your last one. 💜

  You are absolutely correct. I’ve seen a doctor and even have gone to PT for this. I completed 6 weeks of PT back in May and was feeling fantastic. (As an aside, I do weigh training for my exercise routine under the supervision of a trainer.)

  When it’s happening you think, “holy shit this pain is excruciating! Something has to be very wrong!”

  Well, let me tell you a fun story… from all the doctors and therapists I’ve discussed this with. This is normal for things like pinched nerves, sciatica, herniated/bulging discs or just simply your weak ass muscles like to seize up and say fuck you.

  They won’t give you proper painkillers, only muscle relaxers that don’t do anything but make you feel sleepy and loopy. You just have you wait it out until you can move around enough. And that’s when you can actually make it to a doctor. For me these last 2 attacks left me truly incapacitated (unable to walk, get up from a laying or sitting position) for at least 2 days.

  Doctors don’t take this type of pain seriously and I don’t know why. They won’t prescribe opioids, probably for various obvious reasons. But for this scenario, it should be one of the few exceptions.

  Another fun story, this happened to me for the first time about 7 or 8 years ago. I called my doctor crying. They said go to the ER. This was probably the biggest mistake of my life. I have never been treated with such disrespect and disregard for what I was going through. I was treated as a pain pill seeking junkie. I waited in the ER for 5 hours until I finally stood up went to the front desk and mid sentence of me asking how much longer, I blacked out from the pain and collapsed on the floor.

  I was just hoping I’d find others who have gone through this. Hoping to feel like I’m not crazy for wanting more from my medical system than “this is just how these things happen. You’re fine. Now here do these exercises and you’ll feel so much better”.

  Anyway, sorry for the rant, but thank you for listening.
