#no more nortriptyline

[raspberryconverse]

Finally decided I'm taking a day off tomorrow. I've just felt so shitty today that I don't think I can power through tomorrow. I've been nauseous more than not. I've had a headache all day (not enough caffeine because I couldn't even finish my coffee). I just don't think I can do it tomorrow. And my psychiatric NP actually suggested I take some time off, but I've insisted I can handle my job. I just feel so awful right now and it makes me cry. Not even for depression reasons, just because I feel so shitty.

I'm really tired of feeling this way.

what if i just 🤪

maam you have to tell us what antidepressants are making your tits bigger PLEASE

nortriptyline. Its a tricyclic antidepressant I'm trying since none of the other classes like SSRIs have been working. These days they typically wait until youve tried other medications before prescribing these old ones since they effect way more inhibitors in your body than just the ones in your brain, like they aren't selective. so you have a much higher chance of feeling a lot of the side effects which tend to focus on other parts of the body. for this med, breast swelling is kinda common along with dizziness, fatigue, strange mouth taste, constipation, etc

Theres no "guarantee" it'll make your breasts grow, its a side effect like the others, it may or may not happen but its something to keep in mind especially if your a guy or masc, since that type of breast tissue doesn't go away

Hello Tumblr. I might be back. I've had a hellish few months with my chronic pain. Some things that happened:

Woke up with my neck hurting severely. Apparently this caused me to grind my teeth, because the next day I had a horrific toothache. Long story short, some of the most excruciating pain of my life for like five days straight and I waaaay broke my pain management contract trying to get it under control.

Roommates got sick but tested negative for COVID. We got complacent. It actually was COVID. I made it three and a half years and finally got COVID literal days before the next vaccine came out.

In rushing around to prepare for isolation, I fell and injured my neck AGAIN. So while extremely sick with COVID, and the rest of the roommates also sick, I literally could not get out of bed for more than 2-3 MINUTES at a time.

Imaging shows my neck is deformed (probably from the genetic disorder that fucked up my skull, too) aaaand I have arthritis and degenerative disk disease and bone spurs trying to encroach on my nerve pathways. Can't do anything about it right now, but I'm probably going to injure it again and it might need surgical intervention at that time.

Between these injuries and illness, I unintentionally lost 30 pounds in the space of two months. Because I literally couldn't eat. 🫠

Oh right - we all moved, and while moving, I developed horrible pain in my belly. Turned out to be a hydrosalpinx. Which eliminated my ability to get pregnant. And can only be corrected with surgery. So I asked why we couldn't just do a hysterectomy while we're in there.

THE DOCTOR SAID YES! I had my whole argument written out about how I've wanted a hysterectomy since I was a teenager and I have NEVER wanted children, but I barely had to get into it!!! She approved it and pushed it through insurance to get it done before the end of the year and my deductible resetting!!!

Thus, I got to evict my uterus yesterday!!! Also, ow, this hurts really bad right now, but my god, I'm going to be so much better!!!

In the midst of all this, it was made very clear that my pain management regimen wasn't working. So I'm back to taking hydrocodone, but mixed with ibuprofen instead of Tylenol this time. Which is REALLY hard to find. Most pharmacies don't even carry it. The one that did immediately got hit with a drug shortage. So that was fun.

So it's been a chaotic and very painful few months, but I do think I'm on the upswing, with the yeeterus done and having actually decent pain medication again. As long as the drug shortage doesn't keep hitting hydrocodone/ibuprofen.

Oh, aaaand nortriptyline is working some miracles with regards to fatigue and maybe pain, so that's good, too!

[murkyhazed-is-archiving]

its only 7:41 but im so tired, i didnt get much sleep at all. the new meds im on aren't working like the mirtazapine did, but the increase in appetite is just not worth it to me. hopefully if we up the nortriptyline dose next month it might help more. it gets me on the verge of sleepy, but doesnt shut my brain off or stop me from being restless. if that doesn't work, then idfk lmao cause doctors are very hesitant about actual sleeping pills because they can be addicting, which i understand. it just is really hard to be tossing and turning for several hours :(

[theglowstickchronicles]

Nortriptyline induced insomnia is the absolute most ironic side effect I have ever had. Like hey girl here’s a pill we hope will make your head hurt less! In exchange you can’t sleep more than 3 hours a night though… which will make your head hurt in new and exciting ways, I suppose.

[helperhome]

Welcome Home!

Hello Everyone,

After months of procrastinating, I feel like I’m finally ready to get this thing up and running. My intention for this blog is to spread the mental health resources I've gathered freely so that anyone with access to the internet can have access to this information.

God, Allah, our creator, or whatever you call it, has blessed me with a unique perspective on life. During a time of intense turmoil, I was blessed to have a top-of-the-line health insurance provider. Not only was it a top-tier provider, but my coverage plan was also exceptional. For reference, it covered every ambulance ride I’d had AND a trip to the E.R. via Life Flight - so you could say it was pretty freakin’ good. On top of that, it gave me access to a multitude of resources as well as an abundance of medical professionals to choose from. During that time, however, I had no idea what kind of blessing that actually was. As a child, I knew nothing about insurance and had no interest in learning about it. Compared to now, I have state-covered health insurance and it’s nearly impossible to get an appointment with someone who is actually qualified to help me. The provider pool is drastically limited as a whole when you have this type of insurance, but in the psychiatric field, it’s even worse. An already scarce option pool becomes even more limited when you go down the tiers of health insurance, with the number of limitations rising as you go down the tiers. This can make it seemingly impossible to have access to the help you need, not to mention the financial burden of it all. Having a hard time connecting with providers forced me to rely on myself and my connection with God in order to make any sort of progress. Luckily for me, I absolutely LOVE doing research and broadening my understanding of things. Combined with my never-ending curiosity, my ability to absorb information has given me all the tools I need to heal myself repeatedly. 

Back in the day, I had a gut feeling to hold onto the information I was given by my various therapists, counselors, case workers, and other professionals along my journey. I may not have understood the actual depth of this then, but I knew those papers had value to them. I knew they needed to be shared with the world. 

Fast forward to the current moment, I now have an entire binder full of worksheets, exercises, and other information that I’ve been collecting since 2011 or so. Along with that, I retained a lot of the practices and principles I was taught by educated professionals still to this day. I’ve used them in tandem with other resources I’ve found and ultimately it has been a successful journey. Now it is time that I offer all of this to the world, so you may find the tools you need to help you along your healing journey. 

Remember that this journey is one that is never-ending, with old traumas resurfacing and new events taking place on a daily basis. It is hard at times, but it is truly worth it. When you are able to say that you deserve the help you need, you begin to heal in ways you may have never thought possible - and I want to help. It’s also important to mention that without the aid of my medication, I don’t think I would be able to make it as far as I have. I found a nurse practitioner who took me in even though I was far from what her experience had her accustomed to - we both knew that - but she did her very best to help me. (She did an amazing job with what she had, and I'm forever thankful for her.) Things changed in both of our lives, so I was forced to search for someone better qualified to help me. Thankfully I had an abundance of varying doses of the medication I rely on for daily function, so I have been able to keep medicated while waiting for my new provider. Medications are a valuable tool in this process, so I highly recommend trying to find something that helps you. For me, it's 50 mg of Nortriptyline - a medication used to treat narcolepsy but also in more severe cases, C-PTSD. The medications themselves do not solve all of the problems you have, so if you go at it from that perspective you’ll be met with disappointment. Rather, they offer enough relief from the symptoms that are disrupting you so that you can navigate your mind to find the solutions yourself. The change truly does begin with you.

Anyone on nortriptyline for depression (especially treatment resistant MDD/Major Depressive Disorder)?

Scared of the weight gain from more common meds and have had absolutely horrible experiences with SSRIs (they made it worse :) where I couldn’t get off the couch or felt nothing) so my psych was saying we could try this one. I need something, I think, bc this worsening depression isn’t going away on its own.

Obviously I know that medications are different for everyone I just like having knowledge on others’ experiences when I start new meds and I can’t find much bc tricyclics are less prescribed. I’m also wondering what the common dosage is bc my psych said we’d start very low at 10mg and I’m curious how much increasing I’d have to do.

Ty!!

[raspberryconverse]

Ugh.

So it's day 2 off nortriptyline (and also day 2 on blood pressure meds) and I spent most of the day nauseous.

I also didn't end up going to bed until almost 5 (it's always weird when the sun is starting to come up when you're going to bed) and then for the first time in forever (aside from the times I've tried to make myself go to bed at a "reasonable hour") I haven't been able to fall asleep.

And it's not like I wasn't tired. I definitely got there at like 4, but the internet is distracting and I have a ritual (YouTube videos of Nick & Charlie/David & Patrick), so I finally corralled the dogs upstairs at like 5 to, read my chapter of my book and actually tossed and turned for a good while.

I'm really mad at myself because I made some good progress on my desk yesterday and I really wanted to finish it today. I'm at the part where I have to hand sand all the not flat surfaces (the legs and it's also got these decorative bits on the sides that are the same as the legs) and I just couldn't do anything today. Between my lack of sleep and nausea, it's a miracle I even put clothes on.

My therapist always tells me not to be so hard on myself for not getting the shit done that I want to get done. It's just frustrating because there's so much to do. We just had goals this weekend and I feel like a failure for not doing anything today.

I know it's probably going to get worse before it gets better, but why does it have to? Why can't I have an easy time at anything? Well, besides work.

Understanding Psychiatric Medication Management: A Guide for Portland Residents

Psychiatric medication management is a critical component of mental health care that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. For residents of Portland, understanding the ins and outs of psychiatric medication management Portland is essential for navigating the path to better mental health. This comprehensive guide explores the fundamentals of psychiatric medication management, including its purpose, common medications, the role of psychiatrists, and practical tips for optimizing your treatment.

What is Psychiatric Medication Management Portland?

Psychiatric medication management involves the use of medications to treat mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. It aims to alleviate symptoms, stabilize mood, and improve overall functioning. Effective medication management is a collaborative process between the patient and their psychiatrist, focusing on finding the right medication and dosage while minimizing side effects.

1. The Purpose of Psychiatric Medication Management

The primary goals of psychiatric medication management Portland are to:

Reduce Symptoms: Medications are designed to target specific symptoms associated with mental health conditions, such as mood swings, anxiety, or psychosis.

Improve Functioning: By alleviating symptoms, medications help individuals function better in their daily lives, improving relationships, work performance, and overall well-being.

Enhance Quality of Life: Effective medication management can lead to a significant improvement in the quality of life by reducing distress and promoting stability.

Common Psychiatric Medications

Psychiatric medications are categorized based on their effects and the conditions they treat. Here are some common types of psychiatric medications:

1. Antidepressants Purpose: Used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, and certain other mood disorders.

Types:

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): Examples include fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline (Zoloft). SSRIs work by increasing levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs): Examples include venlafaxine (Effexor) and duloxetine (Cymbalta). SNRIs increase both serotonin and norepinephrine levels. Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs): Examples include amitriptyline and nortriptyline (Pamelor). TCAs affect several neurotransmitters in the brain.

2. Antianxiety Medications Purpose: Used to manage symptoms of anxiety disorders.

Types:

Benzodiazepines: Examples include diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan). Benzodiazepines work by depressing the central nervous system, providing quick relief from anxiety. Buspirone: An anxiolytic that helps alleviate anxiety without the sedative effects of benzodiazepines. 3. Mood Stabilizers Purpose: Used to treat mood disorders such as bipolar disorder.

Types:

Lithium: Helps stabilize mood swings and reduce the risk of manic and depressive episodes. Anticonvulsants: Examples include valproate (Depakote) and lamotrigine (Lamictal). These are used to stabilize mood and manage bipolar disorder. 4. Antipsychotics Purpose: Used to manage symptoms of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.

Types:

Atypical Antipsychotics: Examples include risperidone (Risperdal) and olanzapine (Zyprexa). These medications are used to manage symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. Typical Antipsychotics: Examples include haloperidol (Haldol). These are used to manage severe symptoms but may have more side effects compared to atypical antipsychotics. 5. Stimulants Purpose: Used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and certain other conditions.

Types:

Methylphenidate: Examples include Ritalin and Concerta. These increase dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain. Amphetamines: Examples include Adderall and Vyvanse. These are used to enhance focus and reduce hyperactivity. The Role of a Psychiatrist A psychiatrist plays a crucial role in psychiatric medication management Portland. They are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders. Their responsibilities include:

1. Conducting Evaluations Assessment: Psychiatrists conduct thorough evaluations to diagnose mental health conditions and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Diagnosis: They use clinical interviews, psychological assessments, and sometimes laboratory tests to diagnose conditions and prescribe medications.

2. Prescribing and Managing Medications Medication Selection: Based on the diagnosis and individual needs, psychiatrists prescribe medications that target specific symptoms. Dosage Adjustments: They monitor the effectiveness of medications and adjust dosages as needed to achieve optimal results. Managing Side Effects: Psychiatrists address any side effects that arise and make necessary changes to the treatment plan to minimize discomfort.

3. Providing Ongoing Care Regular Follow-Ups: Psychiatrists schedule regular follow-up appointments to track progress, assess treatment efficacy, and make adjustments as needed. Collaborative Care: They often work with other healthcare providers, such as therapists and primary care doctors, to ensure comprehensive care. Tips for Effective Medication Management

To make the most of your psychiatric medication management, consider these practical tips:

1. Be Open and Honest

Communicate Concerns: Share any concerns or changes in symptoms with your psychiatrist. Open communication helps in tailoring the treatment plan to your needs. Discuss Side Effects: Report any side effects you experience. Your psychiatrist can adjust the medication or suggest alternatives to alleviate these effects.

2. Follow the Prescribed Regimen Adhere to the Schedule: Take your medications exactly as prescribed, at the right times and dosages. Consistency is key to achieving the best results. Do Not Alter Doses: Avoid changing your medication dose or frequency without consulting your psychiatrist. This can affect the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.

3. Keep Track of Your Progress Maintain a Journal: Keep a journal to track your symptoms, side effects, and any changes in your mental health. This information is valuable for your psychiatrist to make informed decisions. Review Regularly: Regularly review your progress with your psychiatrist and discuss any concerns or observations.

4. Educate Yourself Learn About Your Medications: Understanding how your medications work and their potential side effects can help you manage your treatment more effectively. Stay Informed: Keep up to date with the latest information on psychiatric medications and mental health research.

5. Seek Support Involve Family and Friends: Engage your support system in your treatment process. They can provide encouragement and help you stay on track with your medication regimen. Join Support Groups: Consider joining support groups for individuals with similar conditions. These groups can offer additional insights and coping strategies.

Navigating Medication Adjustments Medication adjustments are a normal part of psychiatric care. They may be necessary due to changes in symptoms, side effects, or other factors. Here’s how to navigate medication adjustments effectively:

1. Understand the Need for Adjustment Discuss Reasons: Talk to your psychiatrist about why an adjustment is needed. Understanding the rationale behind changes helps in managing expectations and adhering to the new plan. 2. Monitor and Report Changes Track Effects: Keep a close eye on how the adjustment affects your symptoms and side effects. Provide detailed feedback to your psychiatrist during follow-up appointments. Be Patient: Adjustments may take time to show results. Be patient and continue to follow your psychiatrist’s instructions. 3. Adjust Gradually Follow Instructions: Implement changes gradually as directed by your psychiatrist. Sudden changes can cause instability or new side effects. Stay Informed: Understand the potential impact of the adjustments and be proactive in addressing any concerns with your psychiatrist.

day 1 of tapering off of nortriptyline. ow.

two weeks ago, i ran out of my 50mg prescription for logistical reasons, and effectively stopped cold turkey. the next couple days, before i got a refill, were awful. but somehow this is worse, even though the physical pain is about the same. i think the distinction is that before, i knew i was getting more; now, i know i’m not.

might have to take tomorrow or friday off of work. fuck, this hurts.

(i’m transitioning from nortriptyline to propanelol for migraines and anxiety. bc my pcp is concerned about my persistent tachycardia.)

Global Nortriptyline Hydrochloride Market Size, Share and Forecast, 2031

Global nortriptyline hydrochloride market is projected to witness a��CAGR of 2.3% during the forecast period 2024-2031, growing from USD 239.7 million in 2023 to USD 287.52 million in 2031F. The market growth is aided by increasing incidences of nerve pain and the rising prevalence of mood disorders such as depression.

Nortriptyline inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin by the presynaptic neuronal membrane, resulting in an increased concentration of these neurotransmitters in the synapse. Nortriptyline also inhibits the activity of acetylcholine, histamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine. The increasing prevalence of depression in various regions around the globe is one of the major market trends that is fostering market growth. For instance, according to the estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 5% of the adult global population suffers from depression. It is 50% more common in women as compared to men. This increase in the number of individuals suffering from depression will provide lucrative growth opportunities to the market as nortriptyline hydrochloride, an active metabolite of amitriptyline acts as a tricyclic antidepressant and is used for treating major depression.

The rise in incidences of individuals suffering from neuropathic pain is another major factor bolstering the global nortriptyline hydrochloride market size. Nortriptyline reduces neuropathic pain by increasing noradrenaline levels that act within the dorsal root ganglia on β2-adrenoceptors expressed by the non-neuronal satellite cells. Stimulating β2-adrenoceptors results in the reduced neuropathy-induced production of TNFα, thereby relieving neuropathic pain. Nortriptyline is usually administered orally as a solution or a capsule. The capsule is available in varying strengths including 75 mg, 50 mg, 25 mg, and 10 mg and the solution is available in the composition of 10mg/ 5mL (473 mL). Hence, due to the increasing cases of individuals suffering from neuropathic pain, the requirement for nortriptyline hydrochloride is rising to support the production of medication for pain management, thereby providing lucrative growth opportunities to the market.

Growing Prevalence of Depression Supports Global Nortriptyline Hydrochloride Market Growth

The nortriptyline hydrochloride treats depression by increasing the quantity of norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain, the substances that are responsible for regulating mood. Thus, supporting the market's growth by propelling the demand for nortriptyline hydrochloride. The dosage of the medication is based on the condition of the patient and their response to the treatment. The dose of the medication is directed at a lower range which is then increased gradually to reduce the risk of side effects associated with the medication.

The susceptibility of the contemporary population to depression is growing due to several factors including intense individual competitiveness, rising social failure, low social support, and increased inequality. For instance, according to the estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 3.8% of the population suffers from depression. This includes 5% of the adult population of which 5.7% are older than 60 years. Nearly 280 million individuals across the globe are living with depression. Hence, this increase will augment the requirement for nortriptyline hydrochloride as the product belongs to a group of medications that are known as tricyclic antidepressants.

Increasing Incidences of Diabetic Neuropathy Boosts Global Nortriptyline Hydrochloride Market Demand

The presence of high blood glucose levels and fats, including triglycerides in blood due to diabetes can result in nerve damage causing diabetic neuropathy. High blood sugar levels can also cause damage to the blood vessels that provide the nerves with nutrients and oxygen. For instance, according to the estimates of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, approximately 30% of the individuals suffering from diabetes have automatic neuropathy. This, in turn, is bolstering the requirement for nortriptyline hydrochloride to support the production of medication for managing diabetic neuropathy. Henceforth, augmenting the market demand in various regions across the globe.

Meanwhile, the rising consumption of food products with high amounts of sugar and carbonated beverages coupled with changing lifestyle patterns are increasing the number of individuals suffering from diabetes. This, in turn, is propelling the incidences of diabetic neuropathy, bolstering the product demand to ensure the production of appropriate medication to support the management of the condition. For instance, according to the projections of the International Diabetes Federation, by 2045, approximately 783 million people, 1 in 8 adults, will be living with diabetes. As the incidences of diabetes increase, the cases of diabetic neuropathy will also increase, thus augmenting the global nortriptyline hydrochloride market growth.

North America Accounts for Significant Market Share

The presence of a well-established healthcare sector and increasing investments by various pharmaceutical, healthcare, and biotechnology companies towards research and development activities is bolstering the demand for nortriptyline hydrochloride in various countries in North America. The increasing prevalence of depression in the region is further supporting the market expansion. For instance, according to the estimates of Mental Health America, more than 8% of American adults, approximately 21 million individuals are affected by depression. This increased prevalence coupled with the easy accessibility to various medications that help in treating depression are supporting the market growth as nortriptyline hydrochloride works as a tricyclic antidepressant. Therefore, the increasing incidences of individuals suffering from chronic pain is another major factor supporting the market expansion in the region, as the product finds applications in various medications that are used for treating chronic pain.

Rising Demand for More than 99% Nortriptyline Hydrochloride Boosts Market Growth

The increasing requirement for nortriptyline hydrochloride with more than 99% purity can be attributed to their rising demand by academic and research institutions and medicine manufacturing facilities in various regions across the globe. The pharmaceutical sector is significantly growing in various regions, for instance, according to the estimates of The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, the pharmaceutical industry spends approximately USD 160 billion every year on research and development activities as the development of novel medications involves significant rates of failure. Due to such growing efforts and investments in medicine manufacturing, the requirement for nortriptyline hydrochloride will increase, thus propelling the growth of the market. The preference for nortriptyline hydrochloride with more than 99% purity can also be attributed to the high efficacy offered by the product as opposed to their counterparts, thus augmenting their demand, and supporting the expansion of the market.

Capsules Account for Significant Global Nortriptyline Hydrochloride Market Share

The expansion of the segment can be attributed to the higher bioavailability offered by the capsules as opposed to their counterparts, making them more effective than tablets. The nortriptyline hydrochloride capsules contain various inactive ingredients including sodium lauryl sulfate, colloidal silicon dioxide, pregelatinized starch, and magnesium stearate. For instance, the 75 mg, 50 mg, 25 mg, and 10 mg capsule shells contain titanium dioxide, gelatin, sodium lauryl sulfate, propylparaben, and methylparaben. They can also contain edetate calcium disodium, benzyl alcohol, silicon dioxide or sodium propionate, and butylparaben. The 75 mg, 25 mg, and 10 mg capsule shells also contain FD&C Blue No. 1 and D&C Yellow No. 10. The nortriptyline hydrochloride is usually prescribed for the smallest quantity of capsules with good patient management, to reduce the risk of overdose. Thus, the increased accessibility to nortriptyline hydrochloride capsules coupled with the rising awareness about mental health and depression are supporting the growth of the segment, thus boosting the market expansion.

Future Market Scenario (2024–2031F)

According to the global nortriptyline hydrochloride market analysis, the demand for nortriptyline hydrochloride will increase over the forecast period due to increasing research and development activities and utilization of the product for drug repurposing. Various studies are being conducted to evaluate the potential candidacy of nortriptyline hydrochloride for repurposing of drugs. For instance, according to an article published by researchers from the Department of Oncology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, China, nortriptyline hydrochloride exhibits significant antitumor activities in both in-vitro and in-vivo. The product can inhibit gastric cancer by inducing oxidative stress and apoptosis. Conduction of such studies will bolster the requirement for nortriptyline hydrochloride over the forecast period by academic and research institutions augmenting the market demand.

I stopped taking nortriptyline cold turkey yesterday.

It was making me suicidal. I was already in a pretty low place mentally, but yesterday at work I had gone to the bathroom (next to women's lockers) and I just kept thinking "there's a sharp knife in my purse there's a sharp knife in my purse-I could do it now.

My therapist is always asking me about my knife collection when I say I'm more depressed than usual. I can *always* tell her I won't do that. But I really think I would have done that yesterday.

The med has a black box warning about suicidal ideation, and I had gone up in dosage recently. So, no more of that.

I'm still feeling pretty overwhelmed but just saying out loud that I was scared for myself gave me a little relief.

Is Nortriptyline Addictive? Side Effects, Treatment & More

Im not even going to ask about a wheelchair exactly cuz I'm too used to that kinda being a conversation ender, what I'm planning to do is phrase it like I'm dealing with a lot of mobility issues that are clearly related to my hEDS, and my current aids and physical therapy set up is clearly not enough, so I was hoping that she, as someone who is intimately familiar with EDS, could give me her opinion on my situation and perhaps suggest where we should go from here.

Cuz currently my set up is:

- Going to physical therapy for 10-12 appointments once or twice a year and trying to keep up with the exercises as best I can inbetween those appointments. This has helped as I do enjoy exercise, but no matter how much physical therapy I do I can only ever seem to extend my tollerable(not painless) standing time by half an hour or so tops.

-I have two aluminum knee braces, one that helps with standing but makes sitting WAY worse and one that I can't use because we have tried everything possible to adjust it and it still just hurts to wear. They help a little with the pain and extend my standing time by a bit, but mostly just stop me from doing further damage to my knee joints. Additionally I have to wear them over my skin or yoga pants, so they're only really viable in the summer.

- A rollator that I only use if I'm going to be leaving the house for a long time, like traveling or running 4+ errands in a day. This mostly helps me avoid standing still too much, and a little with the pain if I lean on it when I'm walking, but tbh it's not enough to actually make doing the things I want to do accessible. A day out with several errands where I need to walk a lot, even if I have my knee brace, will have me unable to walk by the end of the day, and I'll usually have to spend a few days recovering at the very least.

- Nortriptyline, which isn't actually intended as a pain medication but it does help my chronic pain, though I can't use a high enough dose to make a huge dent in it, as I have bipolar disorder and my body does not like meds that mess with my serotonin too much.

That's it. I'm just supposed to live like this. I can't go to school because I'd have to walk a lot and sit in uncomfortable chairs for extended periods of time, which means I'd probably be able to do one class a week before spending the rest of the week in bed. (I cannot do online school, I have ADHD and I know from past attempts at remote learning I would never get anything done.) I also cannot work, and I cannot spend long days out doing the things I want to do. No trips to the park to take a walk, no days out at an event with my family, no more than 2-3 short errands a day so I can't like go shopping for things I need efficiently, I basically cannot live my life.

I also have fibromyalgia and POTs so I get pretty exhausted fast and a lot of my pain is just...untreatable and far worse than it would be for someone without fibro, and I also get fibro crashes if I push myself too far, which is funny because my current rhumatologist insists I just need to push myself to regain my mobility.

Pushing myself got me in this situation in the first place, everything I have ever given up because of my disability has claw marks in it, hiking, school, my job, going on walks, spending days out with my family, museum visits and street and book fairs and farmer's markets and everything fun I've ever loved doing that involves a lot of standing and walking. I never stopped doing any of it out of laziness, I kept doing it PAST when I should have because I didn't want to give up the stuff that made me happy. My independence and self-sufficiency are VERY important to me, I used to go on long walks whenever I wanted to, now I can't even go to the park with my fiance for a short walk because if I do I won't be able to do anything else that day.

That's why I find it so fucking insulting when doctors imply that if I had a wheelchair I'd just give up walking forever and let my mobility atrophy, I will never use that thing if I don't need it, and again nothing I ever gave up was out of apathy or laziness, I was forced to stop lest I fucking kill myself doing it. I love exercise, I want to get an under-the desk bike for my house as well as some arm weights and I will have to force myself to only use them for a safe amount of time, left to my own devices I'd be using the peddles all day.

And like the only message I seem to get from my doctors is 1) you will never reach a point where you are no longer in pain, this is impossible, damage has been done to your body that cannot be undone, there is no cure, just ways to slow the damage and sort of help lessen the pain, and 2) If I get a wheelchair my legs will atrophy and my mobility will suffer until I can never walk again. They just repeat these two things whenever I say "I cannot go to school or spend time with my family or do fun things or get a job because of my pain, how do I get to a point where I can do these things if that's even possible? This is my priority, so if it answer is PT I'll keep trying, but you don't tell me what level of recovery is possible or HOW to achieve the things I want to do with my life, you won't even acknowledge them. I know I will always be in pain, I accepted this a long time ago, and I do not see disability as shameful. I know I need to work to maintain my muscles, I am willing to do that work, but I just want to know if and when I'll be able to stop staying home all the time while my life goes by without me."

All I get is "You're going to be in pain forever, there's no cure, and a wheelchair will make your life worse" and idk how else to interpret that other than "we don't care if you can do things that make you happy or not, being disabled means you should spend 100% of your time trying to get better even though we keep telling you that you can't get better, so go home now, see you next year".

I really, really hope my new doctor will help, since she called me out when I played down my hEDS as not as serious as the other kinds, and also told me she has her opinions about what needs doing but she always makes sure to pay close attention to what the patient wants and trust their instincts because we know what living in our body is like better than she ever will, and like...no doctor has ever been that cool about things before, so I really hope even if she doesn't give me a wheelchair she'll at least give me a straight answer on "should I give up on school and spending time with my family and doing fun things or is there SOME path to regaining my ability to do that" and also believe me when I tell her I'm not a lazy idiot, I love exercise, I used to hike all the time and go on long ass walks, I will do whatever needs doing to maintain my mobility and keep going to PT and using my knee braces and only pulling out the chair when I need it, I just want to be able to live my life again.

Because idk how much more time I can spend dealing with doctors who won't even answer me when I ask them why they seem to think my goals and desires are not worth considering.

My new (possibly temporary) primary care doctor used to work at a specialty EDS clinic and seems to really know her stuff and I have an appointment with her next week so I can once again preparing the Wheelchair Argument, wish me luck.
