She was 14 with the first one (scoliosis) and had the second one to correct a problem from the first one about three years ago. The rod in her back was too long and irritated a rib which caused the rib to attach to the rod. They cut off part of the rib and part of the rod. Then things got much worse. She had been seeing a pain specialist which made things even worse. He was injecting her with 14 shots twice a month with a nerve block drug. The last shot caused her to get drug induced shingles. Now she has dropped out of collage because she can no longer concentrate, because she takes so many pain pills. she can't work because of her pain. She had to move back home and file for bankruptcy. She doesn't go out because she vomits without warning, she says its bloody now. she breaks out in hives all over her body, she shakes, she falls asleep on the toilet at nite because it takes her forty five mins to pee, falling onto the floor wakes her up, she has had accidents in bed, she is depressed of course, she isn't sleeping, eating or doing well at all emotionally. I got a call from her best friend the other night that got a disturbing text from her asking for some of her pills for her ADHD because they keep her someone awake and focused, and the person she was buying them from is gone. My daughters friend called me because she is afraid my daughter will overdose or just voluntarily check out. We are afraid too. I don't know where to turn for help. The doctors say they don't know what to do. No one knows what to do. She can't go to a rehab because she is in pain, she needs her meds. she had a bright future. She had excellent grades in collage. She was studying law. She used to volunteer work every week with at risk youth. I am losing my baby and my heart is breaking. My husband and I are trying everything we can. We are almost broke. My husband has stage four cancer too. My daughter is very attached to her father, if he doesn't make it, neither will she, I know it. I am not asking for sympathy. I am not. I hope someone can explain to me why she is vomiting blood, and can't pee and breaks out. Sorry for the very long email. But any help is much appreciated. Even prayers. thank you. -
