Prayers for you

@ McNally.

You're a brave and beautiful person! Thank you for reaching out to talk to me it means a lot to me! *hug* I'm always around if you need to talk.

Wow, that's a lot. Sorry to hear all that bad news. :(

I have kyphosis - and it's not as bad as it could be. But I did have to wear a brace (that sucked). It helped some. But it won't fix it overall. When I was first diagnosed, I was supposed to have surgery. That never happened. I'm not in pain all the time, which I'm glad for, but the cold weather has been giving me issues. Nothing too bad, just annoying.

When I got tested in elementary school, I was the only one in my class that had any spinal issue. Also, I used to have seizures (absence seizures/petit mal seizures), which were fixed with medication.

These are not things I talk about a lot. And the kyphosis actually makes me extremely self conscious. No one ever says anything about it, but I know it's there. It's not something that will go away, unless I have surgery. If it were worse, I probably would. It's just something I have to live with.

I often wonder if this is all because I was born 3 months early. I was 1lbs 9oz, and went down to 1lbs 2oz. I'm also bow-legged (which is the least of my issues)

Yoga has helped a lot, but I've been slacking with it.

I don't know if any of this helps you feel better, but at least you know you're not alone.

If you ever want to talk, you can message me :)

@ Asmodeus;
Oh wow, see I can’t smoke weed, it gives me anxiety attacks...I feel like these people are pushing weed even though opioids are fine if you take them as you’re supposed to

@ Blood Eagle
They refuse to give me pain meds but are all for me getting on medical marijuana (which I don’t want.) it’s a pain in the fucking ass.

I can relate sooo much. I recently found out I have scoliosis in my upper and lower back after dealing with chronic pain since I was 9-10, and so I have degenerative discs, pinched nerves everywhere, etc. I also I have been dealing with a shit ton more health issues (and btw, did you know that if your spine is messed up, it can affect the rest of your body's health?), but damn, sepsis is really serious and I'm sorry for that. Trust me, I know how bad the pain is. Doctors are hesitant to provide any actual pain pills for this because of this whole "opioid epidemic" but if you ask ye might receive. Because those of us who actually need relief should be able to have it, imo anyway. That's what I'm opting to do until I can find a more permanent solution via a back specialist. Anyway, know that you're not alone. Scoliosis is no joke!!

That really sucks, I'm sorry but I'm glad to hear you have treatment for it though. :O
