Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I am recovering from surgery after having a kidney removed. I had been very poorly for about a year. My remaining kidney is not doing to well and makes me very very tired and makes my face swollen. The scars are healing nicely and can be hidden with make up but I am very uncomfortable getting completely naked.
I know I am heading down the road of a transplant at some stage in the future so making the best of the time I have on cam.
At my post op check the surgeon informed me of a degenerative spine disease I have but never knew about as doctors always put my pain down to kidney. But now I am on the right meds, nearly pain free. It's just going to take me a little while to find my new normal, but find it I will.

Thank you in advance.:-*
At first I was put on, tramadol, ibuprofen, paracetamol , diazepam , omeprazole. All taken 4 times a day except omeprazole and diazepam, that's just the morning but the ibuprofen was pushing my remaining kidney into failure and it wasn't making much difference with pain. So I was then out on Gabapentin, which you take for a week alongside the above meds as it builds up in your system, then week 2 increase the Gabapentin and stop the others.
My spine issue is mostly in my neck, compressed cervical nerve. Pain is in arm, fingers and shoulder though not my neck. Been offered surgery but the risks are not worth it at all. Am using the meds and having specialist massages and don't laugh but I sleep with a neck brace to keep neck straight. Works though but a passion killer lol.

Thank You very much for your quick response. The cervical area is where my degenerative problem is also. I was given ibuprofen 800 mgs for the pain, and headaches it causes. I wore a brace from age 12-18, (for scoliosis),so i wouldn't laugh at that.
I get numbness in my fingers also.
I will ask my Dr. About the other meds you mentioned, because im not going to have surgery either.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Can I join this? I just dance for now, but I did cam at one point and may return to it if my health issues get worse.
Some background on me: I had a rough past growing up. Parents went through multiple divorces, neither of them were the most sane or normal people to say the least. Always angry and yelling and crazy punishments. My dad believed heat was a privilege I didn't deserve since I didn't pay the bills so I grew up getting yelled at everyday and coming home from school to a house that was 35-50 degrees in the winter. I started feeling ill, exhausted, and off as a preteen but was dismissed as crazy and just depressed by my parents and doctors. Developed bags under my eyes at around 14 which never went away and people at school bullied me assuming I was on drugs. Over my teen years I developed an array of issues hypoglycemia, insomnia, digestive issues, major fatigue, hair loss, irregular periods, was cold all the time, severe acne, muscle pain, memory problems etc. I knew something wasn't right, but no doctor or person ever took me seriously, it was just part of being a teen. At 20 a dermatologist prescribed me birth control for my acne. Which did get rid of my acne, but also I believe really screwed up my body. I would throw up a lot on it, I got strep and pink eye.
After awhile I couldn't take it anymore, since then though my digestion has been terrible. I finally gave up on allopathic medicine then and went to see a naturapathic doctor. She did some tests found I had an abnormal ANA with antibodies for mixed connective tissue disease (though not actually have enough to have this disease), genetic mutations the MTHFR one which means I detox very poorly, inflammation, bad bacteria and candida overgrowth all in my gut, lyme disease and adrenal fatigue/low cortisol levels, which explains my reversed sleep cycles and insomnia.
I did push myself through college. Luckily I could take late classes and space everything out so I could rest a lot, and I did have some part time jobs, but I would always screw something up with being tired and out of it and the managers were not kind at all about it. I would get yelled at and criticized a lot which took a huge toll on me especially with everything I'd already been through and was dealing with. They would cut my shifts and I was hardly scraping by on money. After college I worked part time at a sub shop and as a research assistant part time. Even trying my hardest I wasn't great at those jobs, got criticized for my "lack of motivation" and oversights often. Long story short both fired me in the same week and being out of it I scratched someone's car. The woman agreed to not go through insurance as long as I got her money. Which I didn't have. The first thing that came to mind was stripping. I was terrified I'd never been to a strip club before but decided I'd just do it for a week or two get her the money and never look back. So I tried it out. I was amazed by it. It was totally different than any other job for the better. Instead of getting criticized I'd get called cute and sweet and I could get paid just to sit and chill with guys and make way more than I ever did with any other job. I could afford to not have to live off the dollar menu at mcdonalds for once, which certainly was not helping my health issues lol.
But unfortunately my lease at my apt ended and I had to move back with my dad and his new girlfriend. My dad was furious I didn't have a full time job yet. But at that point I couldn't even imagine working a full time job. Stripping was the only thing that worked for me allowed me to sleep in and not have a constant schedule or tons of tasks which god forbid I couldn't meet I would be fired and I finally had extra money to take care of my health. I did manage to get hired back at the same sub company this one in a different location. I worked there part time, but was determined to get enough to move out so I started secretly web camming in my room after working making no noise for extra money. I never made that much though a really good day would be 100-200 bucks which was still better than the sub shop so I stuck with it a little while. Except then winter came around and my dad of course didn't use heat and I couldn't bear to sit there in my underwear or be in the house at all so I decided to just go back to dancing and wear my sub shop clothes to the club. Eventually my dad found out and lost it worse than ever but since I had some money than I took what I had and ran.
Unfortunately since then my dad made sure all our extended family and few friends I had from college found out I was a stripper. My best friend from college uninvited me from her wedding I was supposed to be a bridesmaid in and I now have no friends, but of course as my dad said it's only reasonable "decent people will shun me" because of I'm a crazy stripper and "hypochondriac."
Luckily now I have a club I work at where I make better money than I could have ever imagined, don't have to have a schedule and can come and go as I please. Meaning I get to sleep in and take off whenever I want no questions asked. And I don't have to dance on stage very often since there are so many girls there. Also if I forgot a customer which I do very often because of my awful memory I won't get fired and can usually laugh it off or at least move on to the next. However it's not all good. I still have bags around my eyes all the time and have other dancers and customers label me a drug addict from time to time, even though I'm not. Also I've realized unfortunately money doesn't fix everything. I've wasted thousands on treatments I hoped would make me better which didn't. It's funny how I can put on makeup and hair extensions and padded colorful bras and customers think I'm a healthy young woman with the world at my feet, when really all I do sleep and dance.
I'm terrified of what I'm gonna do when I get too old to dance/cam or when I get out of my 20's. Right now I'm 24. I wish I had started at 18 so I could've saved more, but I was too scared. Anyone have any suggestions for easy vanilla jobs or careers to pursue?

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Sometimes my anxiety and sensitivity to noise gets so bad, that I'm worried that I won't recover from it.
Tonight is one of those nights.:fever::worried::bong:

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
It's not my thyroid. Which I'm glad of cause it means I've ruled out most of the autoimmune cluster. Problem is... what the fuck is it?

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
^ I don`t know what your symptoms are ,I`m just here to mention that anxiety can give some symptoms that can be easily mixed up with thyroid issues.

I know I'm on the bipolar spectrum, but the symptoms have been getting worse and more radical. The three options were: thyroid, hormones or this is just the way it's gonna be forever from now on. Seeing as I'm in my 20s and my thyroid is fine, there's a chance my mood disorder is just "maturing" into BP1 or BP2. :(

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
If you have a TSH above 1.5 you could have a thyroid problem despite what your doctor says. Mine is 2.58 and they don't recognize that as a problem but I sure do have a thyroid problem.. I had a TON of symptoms so I started taking a thyroid supplement and all of it went away and I do mean ALL of it.. including mental disturbances. It is what is called subclinical hypothyroidism .. still within range and they consider it normal but it's definitely NOT optimal.. and can make you feel like your TSH is more like 102! So I wouldn't rule it out if I were you. I take Enzymatic Therapy Metabolic Advantage if you want to give it a try.. the results are almost immediate!

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
Girls, I'm so glad I found this thread. I honestly thought that I was the only one going through terrible anxiety/depression. I look at models online and everyone seems to have it together and seems so happy. I had no idea some of you were struggling with similar issues as me.
I couldn't work one day this week because of crippling depression. I'm also going through something that gives me anxiety 24/7. I also have chronic back pain.
I'm so grateful that you girls have posted your stories. Hugs to each and every one of you.

I have chronic pain for the last 7 years, since a bad accident and I also have anxiety. No one online has a clue. They see me as a happy, smiley person all of the time. You're definitely not the only one... sometimes it helps me to smile and joke around... I actually find I can forget about things for a little while. I'm sorry to hear abour yout week and I hope things get better for you :).

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
The last few days i have been having severe panic attacks on and off and they dont seem to want to subside. It makes it so hard to work and perform while they just come on out of the blue for no reason in the middle of shows. I literally logged off last night and cried because they have been so horrible. I will go sometimes months without one then all of a sudden i have them every single day for awhile. They are so unpredictable i hate that. Even though ive had them most of my life, you never seem to get used to them when they come on feels like the first time experiencing it but after a few mins i can start trying to calm myself down, just is so scary when they happen. It literally is draining my energy, and sometimes when they are so bad it wears me out to the point i just fall asleep during them if im laying down. Hope they ease up and go away for a bit.

The unpredictable anxiety attacks are the worse. I get them also, for no apparent reason.
You might want to try L-Thianine tabs. I pop 2 when I have to leave the house. Or in Your case, before You cam. They seem to work 100% of the time.
Feel better Chelly. Big hugs.:grouphug:

Sorry to hear you have them too, it sucks when others cant really help because they dont know what to do or say and when youre in that moment you cant really think straight. Thanks for the suggestion ill have to check it out and see how they work, if its something that helps me i will try it. Hugs to you as well. Thanks again for letting me know. :)

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
My freaking vertigo is back with a vengeance. I hate having vestibular issues (dxed with an inner ear infection back in May which damaged the balance nerve of my left ear) I just had 4 amazing weeks where I felt like 95% normal and then BOOM, now I'm on Day 6 of the spins, tinnitus and exhaustion. It makes me so depressed and so fearful that I will be like this for the rest of my life! Plus, I can't work when I'm spinning and lord knows I need $$ right now. Sigh. I'm trying to take it day by day (or more realistically hour by hour). The anxiety is unreal. Thanks for letting me vent. Hugs to all.

I don't know if this will be any help to you at all because I have no idea why it works for me but when I get the spins from an ear infection I find that anti-nausea medicine helps to stop the spins from completely leaving me bed-ridden.
I've got my fingers crossed that you'll find something the help you soon. I've been there and it royally sucks. <3
