Linda, I’m mentally ill, unmedicated I have very bad days. I’m not ok. Linda2 I think will not post anything negative anymore about you, unless you just decide to not let her alone too , but she’s my friend and I can’t say I won’t take up for her.

In re-reading the posts and counter posts surrounding my surgery and choices of medication (and after taking 20mg of Ambien last night and sleeping for a full 4 hours) I realize that my posts were written in anger, haste, and appear to be lashing out at several people in the group who were acting in the interest of helping, not criticizing. While that does not justify private emails I received full of obscenity and vitriol usually reserved for child molesters and pain mgt. specialist who won’t prescribe proper medication, I do understand the source of your frustration. I only ask that you offer me the same latitude that you, yourself, as chronic pain sufferers seek. I too am in pain. I too take lots of medication that can break my concentration, cause confusion, and make me irritable, short tempered and lack patience. It’s been an incredible frustrating few years. I’ve managed to deal with pain for over 20 years without resorting to "heavy" medication, and now can no longer do so. This makes me feel weak-willed. I can’t help that. That does not suggest that anyone else that uses heavy meds is weak-willed, it’s my own personal feelings about my own life. Now, I find out from my current neurosurgeon that my condition may be correctable, and my previous doctor misdiagnosed and/or blew me off, putting my on methadone and sending me away. I did need the methadone for pain management, but not to be treated as an end-stage patient with no hope. This, along with continued denial for disability insurance (now resolved), losing my home, failing to meet my daughter’s tuition payment, attempted suicide, getting close to divorce with my wife of 28 years, and other personal issues has made me somewhat short-tempered. Again, I only seek the same amount of courtesy and leeway that you yourself seek. I am in counseling. Something I suggest (note the word "suggest") for anyone in chronic pain. I’ll resort to no caps to avoid offending anyone and be perceived as shouting: again – i apologize. i never meant any of my posts as a personal attack, or in anyway sought to invalidate anyone’s choices of medication. i thank those who corrected my assumptions on pharmacology. my background is ce and computer science, not pharmacology and will defer to the experts in that area. i now understand the chronic pain part – i’m only missing the support part. -rob

Response:

And you make no sense. Just how are you "missing" the "support part"? Are you sending or receiving the nasty e-mails? Your posts do not just appear to be lashing out — they are lashing out. When it comes to everyone else seeing something one way and you seeing it a different way I think the one who sees it different needs to either take a second look, get their eyes checked or adjust the angle they are looking from. People slapping back at the person who slapped them equals: "I do understand the source of your frustration"? You ask for the same latitude? You have been given the same latitude — over and over. Yet you keep coming back with this stuff: "poor poor pitiful me, I did nothing wrong, you are picking on me". You side step what you have and are doing and say no one is supporting you . So sorry. You really need to look at what you are doing, own up to what you have said and take responsibility for it without the sob story stuff. You’ve not had it any worse than many of us. Many of us have done this for more than 20 years with no relief. We have had long term relationships end. My kids never expected me to pay tuition for them — they knew there was no way I could. If they wanted to go to something where tuition was required they had to do it on their own. So the fact that you have paid tuition for her makes her have it far better than my kids ever did. Attempted suicide? So sorry again, I’ve been very very close, I begged for someone to keep me typing at this keyboard so that I wouldn’t a while back. I know what it does to the ones you leave behind. If I could have had the "heavy medication" 20 years ago I might have actually had some decent quality of life. I had no choice — no one would ever give me the not so heavy stuff. I could occasionally get 20 tabs of one of them, but never a refill and never oftener than about every 6 months so I spent that 20 years learning how to grin and bear it. Most of us have been mis-diagnosed and lied to by doctors. Some of us still are being treated that way. I do not think you know what support is. You are getting support. If you need a different form of support you might try letting people know what kind it is. I am no good with soft sweet words of comfort. I am pretty good a concrete solid information. Like trying to help Jo make her computer display in a way that is easier for her to read. Or how to make a software program do what someone needs it to. Or find the right person to connect you with if you need information I do not have. Others here are good with the comforting words. We all do different things for each other. Sometimes just having a place to vent where we know someone will understand what we are saying is enough. You have dug yourself into a hole right now. The first step out of it is an apology that is not framed by a "yes, but". Apologies that contain a "but" are not really apologies. That is only looking for a way to excuse something you know was wrong. Ones framed with comments like this: "I’ll resort to no caps to avoid offending anyone and be perceived as shouting: again – i apologize." are not real.

Hi Rob, I’m afraid I haven’t had a chance to read the all the posts you’ve written or the responses to them, but you said something in this post to which I feel I must respond. " I’ve managed to deal with pain for over 20 years without resorting to "heavy" medication, and now can no longer do so. This makes me feel weak-willed. " There is a very prevalent attitude among those who are physically healthy that they somehow deserve credit for that health. In some cases, certainly a person can take credit for healthful lifetsyle choices. But, all things being equal and sometimes even when not, a healthy body is as far removed from individual choice as are the features with which one is born. I’m pasting the URL to an article I’d encourage you to read, as it is a message I feel is very important. http://www.pain.com/library/detail.cfm?Articles_id=2349 If there is one thing no one in chronic pain needs to hear, and you certainly don’t need to torture yourself by obsessing about (because we feel it at some irrational level ourselves) it’s that you, or, by extension, we, are weak-willed when we need strong pain medication! Take care, Rob and I’m glad you’re staying with ASCP. Anne "It isn’t what people think that’s important, but the reason they think what they think."– Eugene Ionesco

Response:

Hi Rob, I am glad you had a good nights sleep and I know hoe precious sleep is when in pain. It sounds like you have been going through a terrible time Rob and I just want to say that I wish you all the best with your many difficulties. I did not want to offend you with my posts I just wanted (and had) an civil discussion with Ziggy on the pharmacology of methadone. I also do not think there is any reason why someone should send you such hurtful Email. Perhaps a killfile will help prevent this in the future. This is a support group Rob and you can get an immense amount of support and advice here. I personally have gotten soo much help here I am glad you stayed here and did not go. Please give the group another chance and just take the good with the bad. There is just so much good here it is worth putting up with a little bad. Take care Rob. Cheers, Tom

Response:

I want to apologie to the group RE: about hyperventilation. I didn’t mean to speak for everyone, although it does seem to me that Peter tends to think everyone is hyperventilating. The only thing I know fro a fact, is that I’m not. I’ve never heard of anyone being intubated as treatment for hyperventilation. Correct me if I’m wrong, please. But the last severe attack I had left me with an O2 saturation of 81, so that’s exactly what they did. If I was hyperventilating, then by God, why didn’t they just give me a paper bag and save themselves (and me) some money! Thanks for your advice Peter, but I think I’ll find some real doctors who know what they’re doing. I’m sick of this debate, it seems to me that the general population of this group has a pretty good idea of what is going on with their bodies. We may not all have the control that we’d like, but I’m pretty confident that we’re all coping with asthma, or asthma – related illnesses. In my original post I was asking if there were any diseases that could complicate asthma without showing any other major symptoms. I got my answers, and I thank the group as a whole for their support. I received some great advice. I have a lot more questions the next time I go to a doctor, and thankfully, I only live 35 minutes from Boston. Some of the best medical facilities and dotors in the world are fairly close by. I think I’ll get my treatment from them. Thanks again group! -Jenn

Hi Sandy, I went to your home page, very nice! Your photos of you and Molly, while very nice, are very large and slow loading. Sometimes people will leave a site before waiting for the pictures to load. (You don’t want that do you?) :) If you would like I can download the three photos and compress them to nearl 1/3 their current size (in bytes not image size) and e-mail them back to you as attachments to replace the current photos. The page will load much faster, and you will not see a difference in image quality. Just let me know, it is about 10 minutes worth of work for me and no big deal, since I work with imagery everyday.

Whatever the disagreements–this malicious posting was disgusting and uncalled for. Whoever posted these vicious and nasty comments may well have thought that such behavior is acceptable and condoned in this newsgroup. In fact this person may have even felt encouraged by the responses of others egging him on. At least that is the impression that someone could easily get from reading these postings.

Response:

Just so that every will know. This original post was not from me. The character defamation is now being turned over to an authority for legal processing. You can not legally assume someone’s identify and then slander there name in a public forum. My Dad is an honorable man and his character has been slandered as well. I was raised in a quality family home life and do not engage in pedafilia in any way. I can’t reveal the identity of the poster as this is now a matter of legal issue but if you look at the end of the post there is an "apology". I call the limit at this point. Let’s see how it goes. I got the time. The state’s got the money. Let’s go for it!

Just make sure that you are entering into the discussion and contributing with your words.. folks hate just jumping in and leaving a blatant advertisement for something totally off topic.
