Glenn Beck "Nobody sees the world like I do."

1. That's an understatement. Medication would help that. nt

[LiberalArkie]

4. Medication does indeed help. In Glenns case a lot of it might be in order.

[silvershadow]

5. His needs to be administered by round-the-clock IV's. imho nt

[LiberalArkie]

8. I enjoyed that myself when I broke my foot off several years ago. IV drugs are where it's at.

I also had 2 bags of IV antibiotics one in each arm hitting me for 5 days. I really don't think I got sick for several years after that.

[silvershadow]

9. These days the IV's I get are steroids for the MS. Not pleasant, actually. Causes me

servere gastrointestinal distress, plus a little touch of "roid rage"...I generally retreat to my own world for a few weeks after, for everyone's benefit.

[LiberalArkie]

11. Hydrocode and Valium does that for me. I take it to keep my back muscles loose so that don't

pull on my spine. I only have to take it once a week, so I feel pretty good on that day.

[silvershadow]

13. I'm in a flare right now. Last week I was near-bedridden. The MS hug. I had

the most severe muscle spasms of my life- so severe I would involuntarily let out a loud grunt with each one. I just finished a round of steroids, and it has settled down for me now, so far. I would not wish MS on my worst enemy.

Narcotics don't work for the other MS pain I have, so I generally don't have them. There is no point. I'm sorry to hear you have health issues and need them. I will keep you in my prayers. Peace.

[LiberalArkie]

16. I have some busted discs in my lower back and when the muscles pulled

just right I would loose control of my legs and I would go down sometime spasming. Sometimes I could not get out of bed. I fought it for years on and off pain meds. So one morning it was so bad I had a friend drive me to the ER and they naturally would not believe me. But after standing in a hallway for a couple of hours (I was afraid to sit down). A doc came by and did a X-ray and ct-scan. Spine shaped like an S. But for the first time I had hydrocodone and valium. Never had valium before. I took it for a week and got it knocked out and got my family doc for the script for a month. I started taking it just on a weekend just a dose of each.

That was about 3-4 years ago. I still take it on a weekend. A 30 day script for each does me for 4 months, so no one complains.

I told some of my friends that have around the same thing to take a dose before you have the pain. That was my secret was to not let the back muscles even start to get tight.

[silvershadow]

18. I understand. My lower back was the first to go, before I was even diagnosed with MS.

It often "settles" there, and I'm down for some time until I can get it fixed. Been bedridden that way many times. It is no fun. We learn to do what we must with the help we are afforded, drugs included. :/

[LiberalArkie]

19. One of the benefits of getting old, are the drugs.

[silvershadow]

21. LOL Yes, I guess so! Now if they could just approve MM here... nt

[LiberalArkie]

17. I keep reading that some interesting work is being done on MS. I hope they find something

soon. There are a lot of drugs in the pipeline I believe.

[silvershadow]

20. There are. I believe we may know something better, even soon enough for me.

I have been on three different ones so far in 7 years, and the latest one appears to not be helping much. I am supposed to go to the clinic to talk about trying a different one. I do go to the drug-company sponsored dinners they have to hear talks about the different ones. They also have several in the pipeline they are working on, as you said. There is hope!

[LiberalArkie]

22. One thing about it, it will be easier for the kids in the future. I don't think they will have to do

back breaking work like mine did. I still remember back in elementary getting shots from the school nurse. One needle for all the students. No alcohol, no changing needles nothing. No one knew anything really. I read where it was said that the human body is capable of 140 years. I think todays kids will make it there.

[silvershadow]

23. Yeah, and for my whole life my goal was to make it to 100. My grandmother made it

to 92, in modestly good health, and had her mind to the end. I hope you are right. One thing I haven't mentioned is my fear that Big Pharma will do like all the other industries and let greed get in the way of doing the right things, though.

[LiberalArkie]

24. There will be a way around that, Europe controls them pretty well, pretty soon the US will also.

[silvershadow]

27. I do hope so! Thanks! nt

[GreydeeThos]

2. Nobody wants to see the world like you do Glenn

That is why you are talk radio loser with a failing internet TV show.

[justhanginon]

3. And most of us are or should be eternally grateful for that fact.

[sarge43]

6. Naturally, you're living on Planet X#w*Z@, Glenn n/t

[3catwoman3]

7. And praise be to whomever...

...or whatever for that.

[Enthusiast]

10. Do people still listen to this idiot?

[livingonearth]

12. Glenn Beck promoted the very thing that caused ISIS and the caliphate he always talks about...

That of course was the invasion of Iraq, a country that did not have a part in 911. He used to say that a caliphate would come from Iran, and that George Bush was a genius for invading Iraq and Afghanistan because it would put a squeeze on Iran in the middle and prevent a dreaded caliphate. History has proven him wrong, but as a profit wannabe he keeps trying to chalk board his way to being right.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

14. Glenn Beck "Nobody sees the world like I do."

And I thank my lucky stars, everyday, for that.

[Warpy]

15. Glen, the clue phone is ringing

When you think you're the only one in the world who sees THE TRUTH and everybody around you is delusional, the only thing you need to know at that point is that you're the crazy one.

Get help, dude.

[Jeb Bartlet]

25. That's becuase

you're deranged there Glenn, of course no one is going to see the world like you do. By the way, what color is the sky in your world?

[Skittles]

26. that is a good thing, Glenn

[TrollBuster9090]

28. Good thing, too. Or else there'd be a worldwide shortage of Risperidone.

Seriously, if it weren't for the 'conservative movement' this guy would be blathering about his conspiracy theories inside a rubber room instead of a TV studio.

[Thor_MN]

30. The first step is recognizing you have a problem...
