HHello, where are you that it's winter? it's very hot here, but i am still struggling with my regular ol' depression. it's actually quite tiring. I try to ignore it, but you know, we never really can. People always talk to me like it's something new. I have to remind them, this is my attitude since i was born. Winter can get you down for sure... It's temporary at least. What's getting you down? What's a dicky eyes? Keep pushing through. Demented dreams happen unfortunately. What would you do if you could do anything or change anything in life?

I can relate to dicky eyes and demented dreams. The dreams are horrible - it puts me off going to sleep, it's that bad. Not sure if it's my meds, my stomach or a form of PTSD.

Good luck, HT. Hope you keep on managing and doing okay.

down under, Australia. went down 4 steps in city on mobility scooter the other night. shook me up a tad. in a depressive hue at the moment. the steps looked like a ramp, it was night, even my lights did not pick them up as they were hidden. thx for support, just a bit defunct in my direction and stuff.

HT,

Are you taking Vitamin D supplements? Vitamin D is very important in helping our outlook, especially in the wintertime.

My dreams of late have been very strange and some of these strange ones have been upsetting.

I'm very saddened to learn of your tumble.

Best,
John

HT

so glad you did not tip over, lucky there.

Winter can be a depressive time. blast Ozzy or your other metal. Shake it up so meditation is easier. work for me.

Peace and strength mate.

Perhaps some nice gentle back massages could east some of that pain.

I know it is much more serious that arthritis however....
Anti inflammatory teas may help.
I believe there is a Chinese tea that works well, but I can not remember the name. Use to take in for my arthritis, now I use glucosamine.

Prayers for reduction in pain, wishes for joy and contentment.
Peace

Hope things are getting better Jamie. You might want to try the glucosamine, look for it with MSM in it. I think that is what it is called.

Hugs, Karen...

sore neck, but hanging in.
Posted 7/21/2018 1:23 AM (GMT 0)
Hey HT
I had a terrible flare in my neck- traveled to shoulders a few years ago.
Got an ultasound guided steroid shot in the affected space between vertebrae- had stenosis and the spurs you speak of. Was like a miracle. Perhaps look into it.
Hope otherwise you are well.
I am falling deeper & deeper into despair.
I need to find the guts to move on from situations that are detrimental.
I'm worn thin from taking care of my mother and her affairs which even though she has passed continue to haunt me.
I just don't have the energy to do what I need to do.

All my best to you
Posted 7/25/2018 12:59 AM (GMT 0)
keep strong weary. will do. using soft neck brace. slow steps....u got the guts, just do it in bite size ones, me been doing this. ht.
