hello all. this is my first post as a member so bare with me..i had a brain tumor removed back in 2000 and i am still suffering from headaches everyday..the surgeon damaged my pitutary gland in my brain which is you master gland..it caused my thyroid to grow to 3 times the normal size to were i couldnt swollow any type of meat. steak chicken pig whtever...soft foods only..also it killed my adrenial glands on my kidneys..it stopped the production of testtosterone..it aided in me becoming a medecily indused diabetic..the low T issue caused me to take replacement meds that cause major blood clots in my right lung 16 to be exact. so now im on blood thinner the rest of my life..along with many others that i wll be taking forever..this has disabled me and im no longer able to work. i was a master mechanic roughly 4 years of all different kinds of schools and certifications and stufff i can no longer use..not to mention well over 3k in tools and equipment i bought during the time i was able to work..also lost my house 2 cars boat 4 wheeler all my credit went to nothing and had to file bankruptcy..so this has had an extreme issue with my mental and physical side..i can not do anything without getting a headache or extremely sick..i have been in the hospital a total of 41 days this year..on and off..trying new headache meds and 2 of them almost killed my kidneys..almost have ran out of neuroligists in mid to south mississippi..i have been to alabamas big collage of neurology and there teacher/dr/genius decided what i need was  methadone..huge trip lots of money i dont have wasted..went to a place in new orleans got the same answer..so i have been with a pain clinic since 2008 and have been on everything..narcotics are not the full time answer..i do get some relief from em but i just cant stand to take all this med. every day and at lunch and at night..my wife mother and brother are all nurses so we decided to move to my mothers farm were she has an extra house kinda like a farmhands house..small one bedroom type thing..plus it put my wife closer to work. and us closer to my brother..so i pretty much have a nurse all the time to watch over me.. lots more to talk about but i figure i getting boreing..so if anyone reads this and i could share or asssist in anyway just holla at me..remember im a mechanic not a dr. lol
