Anyone with any of these conditions as well?
I am ten weeks along with my first pregnancy. I have a long history of medical problems, physical & psychiatric. Here are a few that I can remember.
I have had twelve surgeries over the past few years, for things ranging from a freak accident where an artery ripped off my spleen & caused me to lose over eight pints of blood, to five surgeries for hernia repair, four or five for scar tissue removal, plus other stuff.
TTP- Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (blood disorder)
Blood clots
Severe kidney failure
Anemia
Enlarged right ventricle
Multiple hernias
Scar tissue
High blood pressure
Bipolar disorder
General anxiety disorder
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Post traumatic stress disorder
I have one other psychiatric illness, but for the life of me I can't remember right now. I can't even remember all of my medical problems because I have so many! I only put down the ones I can think of.
I also have chronic abdominal pain, and I've been on heavy narcotics for that for over seven years. My regular dose of pain medicine would literally KILL a normal person! I am now off of all psychiatric drugs, and off all my painkillers. The doctor put me on Suboxone, but that's now the only thing I'm taking for chronic pain. I'm still in severe pain, but there's nothing I can do. I can barely get out of bed to do anything. Does anyone else have ANY of these problems? If so, what can I do?
