How Do You Face a Health Crisis?

I think the worst for me was when I ended up in the hospital parallzied due from a medication for m.s.. A lot of others that take it are fine but it made me parilized. I was on steriods for about 2 or 3 wekks in the hospitail. I also needed to use a walker to walk for as good while. I use a cain now. Hopefully with my going to physical thearpy that will change also. I know so far it is easier for me to stand in one place then it was before so it really seems to be helping me. Exept not knowinng how to dress the other day I went in pants that was a mistake I got overheated fast and got shaky and ended up having to change to my shorts.

I don't do well with health crises at all. I rarely have them, but I work & can't afford health insurance, so I'm pretty much screwed if I get sick. I just wash my hands like there's no tomorrow & hope & pray that I (and my family) won't get sick.

Depends on if it is me, or a loved one, and what exactly it is. When my first hubby was diagnosed with ALS, I cried, and grieved, and was angry, and persisted, and I feel like I triumphed over many obstacles. I learned some lessons, shared them with others, and learned new things about myself along the road. If I would have a personal health crisis, I am not sure what I would do. The only real one I had occured at the time my mother was dying and 9/11 happened, so it got kinda lost in the shuffle, and it was not life threatening, but it was major surgery, and six weeks off of work. I relaxed and enjoyed myself after about the third or fourth week.

Not sure what you mean by health crisis. You are speaking in riddles my dear friend. Is something troubling you? Are you ill? The closest I think I've come is last year when I received a phone call to say my Dad had broken his arm. To cut a long story short, I basically moved in with him for 5 weeks to help him and look after him. It was hard being away from home and expecting a friend to look after my pets, my garden and everything....especially when a couple of empty homes were burnt down in our town. The other side of it Dad was once again becoming dependant on me. It just showed me, yet again, how tough my Dad is. He turned 95 last July. He still lives alone. I worry, every time the phone rings.

I hope everything works out.For me, a pessimist, if I had a health crisis I would assume that it would be fatal and I would plan for the worst.

I think you can get through the health crisis.

It depends on whose health crisis it is. If it's a loved one, I'm steady as a rock. But I do suffer from anxiety related disorder and I've had some bad brushes. I'm currently taking medication for it and just hating the way it makes me feel. I saw someone else's post about the natural anxiety help and saved it as a favorite to check out. Panic attacks and general anxiety disorder can create some bad physical symptoms that can make you feel like you're dying.

I"m usually really calm and collected in a health crisis or any crisis for that matter. I'll say it's the adrenaline going and the need to help whoever needs help be there for the ones that need and all that. It's actually when the crisis is over that I sometimes loose it a bit. I've noticed that happening with me quite a few times. While things are happening I"m completely there, ready for everything. But when it's over I have found myself less calm, when everyone else around me is calm. Go figure :)

From past experience I have handled them well. Hopefully, I will continue to do so in the future when a health crisis develops. I believe we become more patient after the first health crisis arrives and are able to deal with them easier as we have them.

I think so much depends on our attitudes when dealing with an crisis not just health. I think maybe initially we might want to rant, rave, scream..at least for awhile. Then comes the decisions of how to handle it. Does one succumb to it, give in, throw in the towel and accept it, or does one fight it? While not health crisis per se, I've been through the wringer of other very stressful crisis, but instead of giving up and feeling lost, I fought back. I think even with a health issue one can do the same. It's NEVER too late to take some positive action for any health crisis.. You're in my prayers worldwise, and I pray that what you are facing isn't too, too serious. Just think back to any health crisis you may have had in the past. Did you overcome them? Then there's no reason not to overcome this as well.. My thoughts are with you (((hugs)))

Some times its happens.Because of our eatting,some times our tenssions topic.We suffering after health crisis.
