Hi everyone!!!! I want to thank WhiteBeard for posting this thread. I have missed you all so much!!! And I have felt lost without hearing and communicating with all of you. My computer isn't being...
Yes, I can read these posts. Thank you so much. I have really been upset about this. It is kind of silly to be upset about a computer. But it was about the only enjoyment that I had... I'll have to...
vertical lines, sorry. It doesn't matter. The (((*^^*%$#@@$%^^ thing is just broken!!! Anice...
Hi everyone, I know this will be hard to read. But I do want to let you know what is going on. My laptop is broken, literally. I only have half of a screen... I guess I won't be around as much as...
Scarred, I think you made a very good point. I think it would be wonderful for a book like that to be written. Our stories need to be told. There are so many people out there, us and tons more in...
Chutie, That is just about the sweetest thing I think I have ever heard. I almost had tears too!!! What a precious moment. It is those sweet moments like this that makes it all right. Leaking happy...
Susie, You go right on and vent away. You have a perfectly good reason to!!! This makes me so mad just reading this. What is it with these dentists here lately? I think you were treated so wrong to...
Chutzie, I am so happy for you. I knew you were awaiting his arrival with much anticipation!! It was wonderful that you were there to see him come into this world. I am sure it was an experince you...
Melissa, I am sorry you are having a hard time with your pain. Sometimes it gets bad and I can understand you wanting relief and some help. I haven't heard of this med. before. I agree with PaLady...
Melissa, Please don't be discouraged. I know it is hard. You do come to a point where you are so tired of the pain and wonder if you'll ever get relief. I would suggest talking to your PM and seeing...
Hi friends, I don't think I'll make chat tonight again. I did go back to work today and I am whipped!!! But I am happy. It was nice to get back. I felt really wierd for a while. I felt like a fish...
Pete, I am thinking about you , my friend. I do hope you are feeling some better. We do miss you. But you get to feeling better first. That is the important thing. I know how you feel about not...
Pete, I have been missing you. I was wanting to start a thread and ask if anyone knew what was going on with you. And I got sidetracked and didn't do it...I am sorry you are having this going on. And...
PaLady, I am glad you went to the endodontist. He sounds like he was caring and concerned-the way a "good" dentist should be. I am so sorry this is all going on. But you know what? You are one smart...
Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll be up and down taking the charts back to the stations, back and forth. I was not happy about the sitting down so much. I know that it isn't good to sit for...
WhiteBeard, Your support and everyone elses means so much to me. I'll be okay. I just think it is pretty crappy on her part. But I am glad nontheless. I am very ready. And it will be great working...
Hi friends, I have now been given my "new" job descript ion. I will be on full light duty. I will do all the phone calls for the clinic-for 4 pediatricians!!! I will be on desk duty. She said for 6...
I don't have anything really definite to share. I don't have long to post(I know you all are glad!!ha ha). I went and met with the doctor I work for this morning. I was there when he got there. We...
Skeye, Thanks. And you are probabley right. It doesn't look like they are going to let me do it the way I want to anyway. So it looks like I'll have to go to work any way I can right now. If I have...
Susie, Welcome back. You have been missed. We were thinking and asking about you the other day. I am so sorry you haven't been doing well. I guess you've had to keep those legs up. Bless your heart....
Susie, My husband thinks they are thinking about me being a liability...I don't feel that I am. I do think I can do my job. Yes, I am still hurting. It doesn't look like it is going to change any...
Thank you all so much. All your support is just great. And I hear all of you breathing a sigh of releif too as I know you must get tired of me going on and on about getting back to work... I haven't...
What a day! I went to the doctor. He DID release me to go back to work on this Thursday, just like I wanted. And with no resrictions. I was happy. Then I get home and call my nursing superviosor. She...
Thanks PaLady. I will continue the Wellbutrin for a while anyway. I don't know if the change in my mood and emotions is because of that or just because and not related to the Wellbutrin at all. Who...
It is hard dealing with the emotions. I don't know where they all came from. I am wondering if it is the Wellbutrin SR. I thought I was doing fairly well emotionally. Then something happened. I find...
Suzane, I am so sorry you are hurting and suffering so bad. I want you to know that I do care and I'll be thinking about you. I admire you for trying other forms of pain relief. What works for some...
WhiteBeard, As I read your post I had tears streaming down my face. I think and care alot about you. And I hate to see you hurting like this...I do wish there was something I can say that will help...
Scarred, I am sorry all this is going on. An anuerysm can be very serious! I do hope they are able to get to it in time. Let us know how he is doing. Do you live in the same town? I am sorry about...
PaLady, Thank you. You know there are so many times when I read one of your posts, I just wish I could really hug you!!! I read it about 3 times. Yes, I will go back light duty or shorten my hours,...
Emotionally I am very ready to get back to work. It helped me to know that I help my patients. Physically, honestly I am not so sure. I hurt all the time. And I would say my pain scale is always a 7...
Hara, I think you need to tell your doctor this. No, I agree it isn't "normal". He needs to be aware of this. It does sound nerve related, except that it is going throughout your entire body. I...
I want to thank all of you so very much for all your support. I'lll get through the weekend. And then Monday will be here. I am going to try relax some. It is going to be a long weekend!!!! Your...
PaLady, I love it. We would all be there in the waiting room with our little fangs!!!!And yes, we would be honored to be your little army. I would love to see his face when he saw the waiting room...
I want my life back, Boy, I can relate to that, just like the others here. Those 5 words speak volumes. I want to welcome you here to this forum. I do hope you will stick around. It is such a...
I started the Wellbutrin SR today. I really haven't noticed a difference. I know it is going to take a while before I can tell if it will work or not. But I did take my first does today. Maybe I'll...
WhiteBeard, I am still thinking about you and will continue to do so. Please let us know how you are doing. We are missing you, my friend....
Golitho, Thank you. I just came back to this with the intention of deleting the whole thread. I was just upset and needed to vent. I wish I had deleted this one...It is just stressing me out. But I...
I have been trying for the past couple days to get in touch with my nursing supervisor. I did get to talk with her today. I explained why. I wanted to explain the dr. standpoint on me returning to...
PaLady, I am so glad you started this for WhiteBeard. We all know that he wouldn't have done it for himself!!!! He is always one of the main ones to be there and support us in our time. Yet he won't...
FatherJohn, Wow you and your family have really been through alot in the past couple weeks. That was so much to deal with all at once like that. But that is usually how it happens,isn't it? Thank you...
Char, I do hope you are feeling better. Ear infections are no fun at all. I haven't ever had vertigo before. But I do know of others who have. It must be horrible to be off balance like that. I do...
PaLady, Thanks for your reply. I do appreciate you so much. I will sit down and talk to my doctor. If he has reasons as to why he is so determined to keep me at work, I will be open to hear them. I...
Hara, I am so glad you are getting an MRI. Atleast you will have some answers as to why you hurt so bad. Then, yes you need to be put on something to help you with the pain. It is never ideal to be...
PaLady, I will give it a try. It may help. And if it doesn't help with the nerve pain(left hip and buttock), then it may help with the depression issues. So if not for one thing then maybe for...
The nurse called me back. The PM said yes it was okay to start the wellbutrin sr. And that it is being used for nerve pain now too. I will get this filled today and start it in the morning. Maybe it...
PaLady, Oh, I get more mad at your dentist each time I hear about him. He should have referred you to the endonist in the first place. It isn't right that you had to pay this guy and then go to...
PaLady, Thank you. And I know you would look it up for me, that was really sweet of you. But you have so much going on yourself. I will do some research on this at some point today. I do have...
I did see my PCP today(well, Wednesday). I know I needed to check on my BP. It has still been pretty high. And today it was 164/98. Anyway, I made the appt. for that and to get her clearance so I can...
FatherJohn, I just got caught up with this thread. I want you to know that you have lots of well wishes coming your way. I am very sorry you and your family are going through a hard time right now. I...
PaLady, How are you feeling now? I hope the antibiotics have started to make a difference in how your feeling. You suffered so much with this. And I wanted to ask you about your plumbing problem. Is...
