I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, my career is medical and even though it’s recreational in my state, since it’s still not federally legal, all the hospitals still test 😭
I know it’s gonna be tough especially since my husband still smokes, but I kind of want to try it for me anyways. I started walking daily, which really helps my mood and I’m trying to avoid stress in general temporarily so I’m not forcing myself to create (which is so funny that you said that, almost like you read my mind). I think the first few weeks are gonna be kind of sucky.
I have heard that some people experience positives too like more energy, so I’m trying to hope for the best, but holy shit is this sober thing weird (I don’t drink either hahaha)
So, my husband is miserable. His larengiel nerve is damaged from a condition he got from 9/11 in NYC.
He can't smoke at all wo agony. So I make the best butter for him on this green earth.
His addiction now is my cookies. But they only work once a day for him.
He liked to be zonked all day long but now he can't.
It causes depression for him but he gets by.
No fucking way. I am so sorry he had to go through that, but I literally treat patients for LSN and laryngeal paralysis, which is such a coincidence. Is his voice and swallowing ok now??
They put him on gabapentin and he hates it.
He also thinks they are wrong he thinks it's a physical injury from an old shoulder injury.
Imaging shows nothing so his ENT thinks it's his nerves and neuropathy. He thinks it is from a crushed lymph node that happens to him a few years back.
Drs won't listen to him at all
They think he has globus. I think that's bullshit.
Gabapentin makes sense if there was nerve pain. Classic imaging won’t show shit (X-rays, cts without contrast, even mris sometimes). Unless someone did a modified barium swallow with him, idk how they would know. Do you know if they did any cranial nerve testing with him?
