15 months c/t ativan

Well here i am 15 months from c/t ativan 2 mg! Im still alive!🙏 although everyday i still have that fear that im gonna die.. Why? Because ever since i had my baby 4 months ago i been in acute all over while pregnant i could get up drive go to movies i was functional but after i gave birth man i got slammed back into acute! Im sure my hormones have alot to do with this!

Okay so what i have going on is bad

dizzy/lightheaded

Blood pressure fluctuations when i stand it or walk it goes high 153/95 when im laying down it goes low when im asleep like 88/54!

I have this pain behind my left leg

My breathing feels like im not getting oxygen to my brain or my heart

I still have my sternum pain (costocondritis) from day 1!

Lots of anxiety .

Blurred vision

Rib pain

Blood sugar spikes for no reason

Im pretty much in bed all day!

Idk what exactly happened when i gave birth maybe the epidural through me way back!

It sucks big time i was already having small improvements!

By that i mean i had few sodas

I was driving again

It was manageable but right now no...no im in acute! But i will keep fighting i have 8 kids that look up to me!

You have 8 kids! OMG , how on earth can you manage ?  I'm sure your hormones are playing a part ... I expect things will settle down .... to me it just shows that your nervous system is still very fragile from your CT ... , and childbirth is a big stress on the body .

I hope you have help . I'm sorry I can't offer any advice as I have no experience with somethin g like this ...

look after yourself as best you can ,

Progesterone acts on GABA, do once it drops, it might send one back into acute. I experienced that after having a baby.

Yes 8 kids guys im a mess! So epidural is a progesterone? U had a baby while in withdrawl and did it set you back? Thx for responding guys im so scared

Your progesterone is naturally high during pregnancy. When you deliver a baby, it drops to almost 0, because you are not pregnant anymore.

 

Epidural could be part of the problem too.

 

I had a baby while in withdrawal and I had a set back for several months after delivery. I was mostly back to normal when the baby was 5-6 months. That was my first withdrawal.

 

Right now I am on my third withdrawal and this time it's another level of hell.

Reading this now and wondering if I should pass on epidural? Baby due in 6 months! I’m 22 months out

If it's not worth the risk, people in the olden days could only give birth without an epidural, just saying 

That’s true! I’d rather not ever use medicine again unless it’s an antibiotic...
