Hi straydog and thank you, Dr gave me the highest dose of Norco which to be honest and this is not me at all, the pain gets so bad I double up on them within an hour, still doesn't take pain all...
Those are great video's, thank you JungRulz. If I can say I have acted the same way as the lady having the migraine and somewhat like the man in the other video, am told I look like a deer in a...
Than you both! Didn't even realize it's a holiday tomorrow! so will call Tuesday. Good to hear this numbness is not unusual, was having all kinds of awful thoughts about it. I'm icing my foot and...
I so feel for you, I too have been having strange spells after a severe concussion last year, my brain feels like it suddenly "shifts" and everything slows down, hard to explain, I sometimes get...
I cannot stand this pain, it feels like someone is literally breaking my foot over and over, the pain is incredible, it dies down for a bit, never goes away then here it comes, omg. Fractured the...
Hi Merrida, I had dry needling done on my left trap and neck too, it killed me! PT put the needle in then I jumped and she pulled it right back out, didn't do anything for me but I really hope it...
I'm sorry ((((hugs)))) I hear you, sometimes when someone ask how I'm doing I just say...okay...and that's it, I'm just so tired. At other times I say i'm in pain and get a glazed look or an "mmm,...
Thanks everyone, means a lot. Sorry Merrida and Abilene for you foot woes, I hurt just thinking about them!! When I'm in the kitchen I put my left knee on top of a chair and scoot along, thank God...
Hi Lynnstar and thank you, Sorry to hear you're still experiencing pain from it after so long. Yes, what you're saying makes perfect sense. I just wanted to make sure as with the other pain problems...
Hello, I had one of my "spells" where I get disorientated and managed to fall on some steps and suffered a calcaneus (heel) fracture. Oh well, might as well add to all the other pain :) At the ER the...
Thank you everyone. Was actually due to see the physiatrist on Tuesday but with the whole breaking ankle business on Monday evening I had to cancel, will see him next Tuesday and will ask him about...
Hi jp, Yes, I do see a physiatrist, for pain he has me on Norco..10 but it just takes the edge off....sometimes. Last night I had one of my weird "spells", was walking down some steps and suddenly...
Hi Merrida, Thanks for your reply. :) Was up for most of the night worrying about seeing my Dr today then they canceled, she's out today. I'm so worked up about seeing her and asking for more MRI's,...
Hi Vickie and thank you. Was up for most of the night in pain, going to see my Dr and let her know what the neurologist said, going to be very to the point and insist on seeing another neurosurgeon,...

Thank you so much everyone, I will wrote more tomorrow as today has been very bad, no sleep last night, I'm fighting so hard to not go further down and am doing a lot of self talk, I know all of you...
Well, here I am, don't know why I'm even writing this but I know I am getting really sick again, had terrible few days last week but they passed, but...it worried me as I can get SO sick with...
Oh god this can be so upsetting and draining to say the least. When I got my medical records my Dr had hardly written anything then covered herself with...let's just say...not the truth, it upset me...
Hi there Paddicake, I'm so sorry your English Mastiff is having seizures, I know how hard it is to see. I'm not sure yet if I'm actually having seizures...going to have tests...but, my old Boxer had...
I understand how you feel, unfortunately my sister and I were never close, I tried very hard but she always said something either nasty or cold and it made me feel so awful for days. You keep on...
Hey, How are you today?? Well, I'm asking that but you're probably resting your eyes and that's the main thing :) Sure hope you are ok though. I'm feeling much better thank God, the pain has subsided...
Hi Sean, Checking in to see how you're doing, sorry yesterday was not good. You could try to go back to work a few days and see how you do, worth a try. I am much better now thank God! had a few down...

Hi JPS, Karen has great advice, you can't make anyone else happy nor are you responsible for doing that, you can make yourself happy though. Totally understand when you say you hate your life, I've...
Hey Sean, Keep trying the mindfulness, it takes time, when I first tried it my mind couldn't do it, kept looking over here and there, "What's that noise? I'm thirsty...." :) now I'm much better at...
Hi there, Welcome, you are in the right place as people here truly understand what you're going through. In my severest depressions I would completely mentally shut down, also didn't want to move or...

Hi HFO, How are you doing today? are you feeling any better than yesterday? I've been thinking of you, saw your reply on Sean's thread and for some reason, even though I try to come on here everyday,...
Thank you all. Yes, I have a TEN's machine and it doesn't help at all, I use a neck collar you warm in the microwave and wrap that around my neck, it feels good when it's on for the most part, when...
Thank you both so much. Today I am in absolute agony, it hurts to breathe, to stand, to sit and I'm getting hardly any sleep, have some Ambien but am like a zombie for 2 days afterwards, My lower...

Hey Sean, Sorry you're not feeling well today, I always felt so much worse in the mornings, much better at night for some reason. Just goes to show you that there are bad days in there, I've been...
I just don't know what's going on and nobody has the same opinion as to what's happening either! Yesterday my neck has flared up so badly I can hardly move it, couldn't sleep for the pain, I do...

Hey Sean, Good to hear from you, never feel you have to apologize, no need :) Am wondering about HFO too, not sure what time her op was. I'm doing fine, actually have Dr's appt in an hour. Hoping...
Hi there, I was going to write earlier but had to take advantage of the sun not being so strong to take my dog out! we walk under the trees, very hot, 94 today. I'm sorry you had an emotional day...
Hi Sean, How's everything today? hope everything went well with the consultant? Sleep is everything, makes things worse if not getting enough quality sleep. Yes, I'm fine, thank you. Very hot here so...
I'm new to mindfulness but I can say it works for me, not always able to be in the moment but over the past few weeks when my mind has been filled with so much I remember mindfulness and it really...
Positive vibes coming through, tomorrow will be over and it'll be Friday before you know it :) As others have said, you are not alone, we are right at your side, hugs.......
