Hello there, Bluelight multiverse! I've been reading threads here for years. Today I became a member, and very much look forward to becoming part of the conversations. A history of myself and why I joined: early childhood trauma went untreated, diagnosed (dx) with chronic, intractable migraines and cluster headaches at 12, passed from Neurologist to Neurologist (repeatedly, I'll come back to that), dx with major depressive disorder at 14, history (hx) of traumatic brain injuries throughout high school and college years (seriously self destructive, seriously reckless), several major surgeries (ex. 8hr total jaw reconstruction), chronic pain and migraines become intolerable so referred to Pain Clinic, rx'd my first narcotic at 31, 5 years later have all previous issues plus a serious addiction to opiates. My addiction brought me here years ago for help to get off the medication, deal with withdrawals, etc. Some very smart, supportive people here. Here's where things might get a little weird for some, feel free to leave the rest. Exhausting conventional medicine, I've gone outside the box, and I don't mean to Eastern medicine. I've seen Shamanic and energy healers, among other things. I still need help with my opiate addiction and will seek that here. In return, I offer any healing I can give, even if that's just someone to talk to. For me, this is a brand new day, cheesy I know.
