Woman With Amnesia | MrBallen Podcast & MrBallen’s Medical Mysteries

[@tanyaredfield]

How does she get oxycodone for fibromyalgia? I just get told to take ibuprophen. And I know there is a real reason for my pain. Fibromyalgia diagnosis doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with the patient. It means, "you hurt and we don't know why, next patient please."

[@mariestaggs4750]

It was years ago when the condition was fairly new and half doctors felt it existed but half of them didn’t and considered it depression.

[@mariestaggs4750]

Hopefully she found a better husband, that is so sad that her husband was that much of a douche

[@ericself471]

This was in the late 90’s. The actual start of what would become the “opioid epidemic”. If you went to the emergency room for any sort of pain, it was almost certain that you would be leaving with, at the very least, a prescription for Vicodin. Now, Doctors don’t want to prescribe opioids. They have been scared and bullied by the DEA and will refer you to a pain management specialist if opioids are needed for long term use (longer than a week or so). Pain management clinics are run basically the same way a methadone clinic is with regard to drug testing and prescription supervision. Many people who have no choice feel like criminals only because they experience chronic pain illnesses. Yet, drug addicts can get pills on any street corner. 😑🤦‍♂️

[@suprlite]

"Doesn't mean that there's nothing wrong" doesn't mean what you think it means. (Double negative). "I didn't do nothing wrong" --> "i know, that's why you're beeing arrested".

[@terrig1229]

As a chronic pain patient, I can definitely agree opioid meds used to be prescribed a lot quicker. Hard to believe how far things have changed in last 20 years. Chronic pain has hada negative impact on alot of my relationships 😢

[@JB-bm1to]

As someone who went through a similar situation, my heart breaks for whatfor Catherine went through. Hope she’s doing amazing now.

[@mstfleur77]

That voice was the Holy Spirit

[@martinapejchal8202]

Knew the answer @ 3 min but stayed for Excellent storytelling.

[@KMF3]

Exactly me too

[@thomos2804]

The voice that spoke to her on the brink of suicide was definitely the Holy Spirit. What an inspiring testimony!

[@KMF3]

Absolutely. God speaks to many people in dreams. Or it could also be her guardian angel. Either way God.

[@sarahlyons2740]

As a person who doesn’t believe in God in the traditional sense of faith I have no other explanation for that voice other than something like ‘God’. I tend to think of faith and belief in a divine spirit like the concept of transcendentalism where divinity pervades through all that is natural. But an actual voice within a dream… it has to be God.

[@miapdx503]

Just think, a couple thousand years from now, archeologists will dig us up and wonder at a people who stuffed plastic parts in their bodies and mutilated themselves...🥴 It broke my heart when her husband told her to "suck it up." I went through a similar illness and my husband's support and love was everything.

[@freedomlindsay3084]

Me too, I went through a horrible time before I was correctly diagnosed with fibromyalgia and just in the last year with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome with POTS. My husband was still alive while I was going through hell trying to get my fibromyalgia diagnosis and get on disability because I was in so much pain I couldn’t function let alone work. Believe me I’d rather be working than be in this much pain all the time, thank God for suboxone and that they prescribe it for pain now. Anyhow, things were hell, but my husband never, ever told me to suck it up, even when people told him I was just lazy. He was an amazing man, and a wonderful husband, he took our wedding vows seriously. I really miss him 😢

[@kregg123]

Please do the report case of David Lang he disappeared in front of a judge who was on horse and buggy and in front of his family I believe this one is a scariest one of all

[@Tink-wo4yy]

I really enjoyed this podcast ❤

[@deniseconsultant1538]

As always, thanks Mr. be well done

[@samwhite414]

I tried to end myself when I was going through a divorce. Bottle of southern comfort bottle of oxycodone and half a bottle of baclofen. I woke up the next day pissed off because I sucked at life so much that I couldn’t even end it right and wasted a lot of drugs 😂 I’m back to normal now thankfully

[@KMF3]

God intervened for you. He loves you. ❤

[@kittensoundwave3480]

Divorce on the first. He hurt her so much, and she was already in pain. Sick.

[@lynnshute9914]

A very well done story! I just wish it weren’t true! 😢

[@ms.razhaneellouise9336]

I would have left John soon as i got treatment. He never stood by her side! Statistics are right when they say men are more likely to abandon you in times of sickness!

[@synergisticcollusion134]

I'm usually on the guy's side, but in the 1st case - she should have sought a good divorce lawyer ASAP after the surgery because her husband was NO good and DIDN'T deserve a second chance! Whatever happened to "in SICKNESS & in health"?!💯🙄🤦‍♀️🤬

[@martinapejchal8202]

100% what an awful man to a dying woman. PhD level Gaslighting.

[@QkFrosty]

I agree for the most part, but I would be interested in reading their book to understand their thoughts more

[@lindseysutton2761]

1000% agree

[@CourtneyMiller-kl4zx]

I agreed as well listening until I heard they wrote a book together worked thru it it sounds like they were able to really work on there communication which is nice!

[@danyellethornton5844]

I hope she went back to everyone of those doctors and told them they were wrong so they learned from it

[@craftyk9s]

The tool that detects radiation is a geiger counter, I used to use one all the time at work.

[@jessgreenwood262]

Me too, such a soothing voice.

[@sdsheppard954]

I love your storie telling please give us new ones!

[@calebpahl2572]

Story*

[@dana8590]

Divorce 💯

[@keristockton9655]

Which lady had amnesia?

[@l.palmer6747]

I HATE an itch! Worse than pain to me.

[@julieorr9382]

Surprising that she could even breastfeed with implants. Her guardian Angel spoke, thankfully she listened!

[@KMF3]

Absolutely 💯

[@JennBurch-nq7iz]

Radiation

[@KMF3]

John was a real jerk. Glad they were able to work it out.

[@MaryLabelle-m6v]

Back in the day actually oxycodone would be prescribed,nowadays much harder

[@mariestaggs4750]

Catherine’s story is proof of God

[@jillrouton4097]

Agreed!

[@gordonharding8990]

Yup!!!

[@JB-bm1to]

How?

[@TheAtl198]

"Proof"?

[@arthurdeo5411]

I saw this on an episode of House M.D. The episode titled "Daddy's Boy" is the fifth episode of season two of House M.D

[@blueraycrystal11]

[@lindarackstraw7711]

No

[@patriciafeehan7732]

Yes. This is Mr. Ballen Medical Mysteries.

[@thymenabottle2515]

All I can say about the last story is WOW!!!

[@KMF3]

One thing these medical mysteries convince me of is that most doctors are absolute idiots

[@JennBurch-nq7iz]

What Iz it what Iz it 😊

[@gordonharding8990]

Are u using ur mom\dad phone?😝

[@Kimberlena]

Again, heard it.

[@samwhite414]

I used to love those shows when surgery goes wrong. I was born with Spinea Bifida kidney disease ect so I’ve had 75+ surgeries unwillingly. So I can’t understand people wanting to get carved up like a Christmas turkey for vanity sake. So as morbid as it may sound I get entertained when it goes wrong 😂 One of the episodes this persons own mother bought her breast implants at 18 so she could be a stripper. By 21 one breast popped besides being lopsided it poisoned her blood and bones so she had to take like 30 pills a day to continue breathing

[@TheAtl198]

Yeah, that's really entertaining. You need therapy, which I hope you're getting.

[@74Bloodraven]

1st story, anti male semitism sigh....

[@TheAtl198]

Do you have ANY idea what the word "Semitism" means? Because this is the stupidest comment...

[@DanielDromgoole]

Mr. Ballen,, I don't know what happened but there's been an interruption in episodes of Run Fool coming daily onto You Tube. I don't know what the holdup is but I need my fix of Run Fool.

[@synergisticcollusion134]

Then go to MrBallen's actual channel, instead of this fake one.👍🏻
