Hi all. I was recently in a psychiatric hospital following a stupid suicide attempt. Thankfull my hubbie was there and he prevented it thank god. Severely depressed and in hospital. Whilst I was in there they gave me PABRINEX injections which is a massive dose of vitamins to the brain and the body secretes what it doesn't need. I felt much better and my symptoms seemed to improve. I am more able to stand with little or no leg tremors and I can carry a coffee without spilling it. My consultant believes that my Ataxia is a direct result of massive amounts of vomiting following a gastric bypass which gave me Thyamine deficiency more commonly known as Beri Beri. I take Thyamine every day now plus vit B strong and vitamin 12. Unfortunately I am now clinically depressed and have to take lots of anti- depressants and massive amounts of pain killers due to leg and back pain.I was in "the nut house" for 5 weeks and although I am still very low I am back at work and so very thankful that my husband was there to stop me killing myself and thanks to you guys who supported me too. Just wanted to share about the PABRINEX shots xx
Hi Beverley,
I hope today was a good day.
I know where your coming from, I've had thoughts as well at times, and take anti-depressants.
It's good to hear you're back at work.
How interesting to hear about your reaction to Pabrinex injections. I wonder if anybody else
has had experience of them?
best wishes
Beryl
Hi Beryl
Today was not a bad day. At the moment I am taking it one day at a time. Bit of a downer yesterday as my wheelchair arrived. I'm not wheelchair bound at the moment only if I have to walk long distances i.e shopping tripe etc.
PABRINEX definately had some effects just not sure how long this will last. Suicide is definately not an alternetive as my brother took his life and the aftermath he left behind was unbearable however; at that time I do not recall what I was doing and just thankfull I have a good husband that supports me.
Have a good day xx
Hi Bev!
My visitors have just left. It was my daughter and son in law with their new kitten. They want
me to look after it when they go on holiday. We're trying to get our cat used to the kitten, it's
not going well! Two introductions so far without success, try, try try again!
I googled Pabrinex, it's sounds heavy duty stuff! People on here swear by vitamins anyway,
it must have been a monster hit to the system, who would have thought you would have
such a good outcome. I've been offered Botox, for an eye condition. Currently Doctors
expect the injection to last 3mths, then they top up.
Yes, as you say, it's the one's left behind that carry the guilt,deal with the trauma, ask
endless questions. Someone told me that after a relative had lost a family member
due to depression.
I will investigate DLA.
