Awww... Hang in there Alcie. I'm hoping there are folks helping you, checking on you and availing themselves as a resource. I'm so sorry you're having so much pain. I did a lot of meditation and...
Happy Monday! I'll actually check in on the check in day, just for something new and different! LOL. Thank you all for the prayers offered up for the grandson. He remains in cardiac critical care,...
Oy....pitmom, I feel your pain! Seriously...I hate watching my daughter struggle. And I hate it ten times MORE when I believe she's dealing in miseries she's helped to create. One's she coulda...
All right....true to my nature, the week's almost done and here I am checking in. Pain issues are probably as good as they're going to get under the circumstances. I don't deal with the traumas that...
:nono: No matter what my feelings tell me there are things that aren't going to be comprised. I have people in my life who remind me that "feelings aren't fact". They're right, they're just...
*laughing!!* Yep, James--ya might wanna rethink how you're framing that to the general public! Congratulations on getting the go ahead--I'll remain hopeful. :-) Greetings at the end of the week!...
Holdy cow, pitmom--you have more than your share of STUFF to contend with. *sending hugs* You just keep that attitude of gratitude--you'll get to the other side of that STUFF, I just know it! Very...
Welcome to HW. You've landed in a place where people give their best to help others who are getting to live with chronic pain. Yeah for titanium! LOL. I have a lovely chunk of it running almost the...
Go YOU! It doesn't sound like life has slowed down for you but it sure sounds like you're meeting it head on and doing the best thing for you and those you love when it hands you lemons. You're...
Still upright, breathing and on the right side of the grass! LOL. Life is good! Nothing new on the chronic pain front. The doc put me on a lower dose of what I tried to go off of (obviously not...
It's finally acting like it's summer here! Yeah!! Flowers are blooming and we're had a couple hot and humid days that were perfect for brewing suntea. I've been snatching time on my patio, watching...
Thinking of you.......
Chart, my prayers will include your dad. Let's hope for total healing, hope big I say! Vernita, you'll be in my prayers for the tenth. So many struggling here....I'll pray for all of you. Keep...
LOL. SEE how loved you are! We're all trying to cure the computer issue so we can keep you here! I sooo want to see the garden, but I am not a facebook user, darnitall!! I love wee outdoor...
Oh, it hurt my heart to hear the struggles are still taking their toll on everyone. But I'm relieved to hear her son's in a safe place where he can hopefully get the help he needs. I know how...
A wise person in my life reminds me in times of stress that G-d didn't bring me this far to drop me. No truer words can be said--He's been with me through a lot....and here I am, getting to still be...
I'll be saying prayers. Those never hurt--and we have some powerful prayers here. :-) More than anything, I just want you to find a community that'll be available for you, emotionally. Sounds like...
It's true, pain and depression go hand in hand. Sometimes, for me, I need to force myself to connect with others. And yes, I can feel alone even around other people. But I have to go out and DO it...
It's Tuesday night but I'm checking in nonetheless. Called the PM doc yesterday cuz I can NOT do this sweating, nausea, sleep deprivation since I stopped the high dose of Lyrica. I wouldn't even talk...
Oh man--I'm sorry you went through all that, for seemingly naught. I agree about consulting with an orthopaedic surgeon. They might have a different take on the situation. As one who has some of the...
Holy heck....That's too hot for me! LOL. Get out, enjoy that gorgeous garden that we got a 'snapshot' of. It's not even close to that where I'm at--so ya'll are stuck with me for a while....
Xxxx Fingers crossed. Candle lit. Prayers being said! *huge hugs*...
*waving* Hi ya, Findthedoor. It's good to have you here. And it's good to know that you're coming with a wealth of knowledge that could prove to be very helpful. Welcome to the board!...
Yeah!! :-) I'm so happy and proud for you. You decided, you got up, you got out and you did it!! After a year--that IS huge. Heck, most folks looked at me like I was crazy, but I was doing a happy...
((( rocckyd )))) I'm going to hope the pain subsides, the biopsy results are clear and that you get a much needed break from all this drama your body's creating right now. I gotta believe that's in...
I hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day. I had a leisurely one, wrapped in a sweater, out of the rain and wind. I had breakfast cooked for me and too many presents to open. The best was a card from...
Well, the midwest is getting their share of storms, too. Nothing quite as dramatic as Texas....yet... The week is just started. LOL. And we've already had a good dousing. Stay safe everybody!!...
*sigh* Sometimes life is just hard. I'm so sorry they've run out of options. No one wants to accept that as the answer, your mom will find acceptance at her own pace, in her own time. I'll continue...
Just checking up on you, Sunny. Sucks that things didn't improve...and with the liver enzymes off, it sounds like having changed medications probably won't be the answer. Or maybe they were. LOL....
Awww....well, we're not pleased about your increased pain either, but we're glad you're here. I wasn't here 'before', so I'm relatively new to the community. But welcome! I'm Mel. I'm here because my...
Ummm....I'm not one to freak out when it's me. But when it's my kid (now adults), yup I can freak out....though no one would know it was happening. I'm too much of a control freak. LOL. THAT being...
I was scared for you just reading the events, day by day. I know that dealing with some WC companies can be darn near impossible without the word "attorney" attached. It shouldn't be that way, but...
Nothing on the agenda --well, not planned anyways. The grandchild turns six but the party isn't until early June. Tomorrow she gets to go horseback riding (aka go in circles on a very tame...
Still holding you and yours in prayer. It's good to return home. No doubt that bed will feel wonderful! I'm going to hope for a solid night of restful sleep and a less painful day tomorrow. Maybe a...
Much love to you, Leila. I hope you and your whole family are finding peace knowing that loads of love and prayers are being offered up for you and yours. Thinking of you all....
Boy do I get that method behind the madness! Seriously. I look at my addictions (yes, I'm recovering!) as things living inside me that want me to turn back to them. And because I like to 'win' and...
I love that prayer. As a woman in recovery, it's helped me so many times. I'm so glad it was suggested to you--I hope it helps you find a slice of peace in this storm. I know it will if you let it....
Checking in a bit weary. I think I'm feeling the added joint pain from my Prolia injection, it's an effort and a half to just move. Tomorrow's the appointment with a different Pain Medicine's...
Greetings shortpotato! I'm just Mel....AGAIN. (*insert groan*) LOL. Boring, but true. Yaknow, I had no problem understanding just how devastating the loss of activity has been in your life. As one...
I'm equally glad for the appt and equally relieved that you're getting set up with a Pain Medicine Physician. You can talk options for medications. Gabepentine gave me blurred vision, so I was placed...
I'm so sorry, evah--there's no magic 'fix', no shortcuts in the grieving process. I wish I had that to offer. I don't. And I truly am sorry for your loss...and after only 3 years. How horribly...
No, you're not the only one that worries. And I think it's understandable given your previous experiences. But....this isn't an unreasonable request. And I'm of the belief that this is one you can...
Yup, just checking up on you and dad... *sending hugs*...
Welcome, welcome, welcome!! You WILL find people here that 'get it'. It's doubtful you'll ever hear some relling you to take a Motrin and get over it. But you'll also find folks, like me, that can...
Oh yes, the stealing that still takes place at the table even though it's only himself and me....usually it's mushrooms...and it's always me doing the stealing. LOL I'm thinking the suggestion to try...
*sending prayers and hopeful thoughts* Thinking about you and your little man....
Welcome evah! Nice to see you on the board--look forward to hearing more from you. I'm lacking experience in the management of chronic pain. So I'm trying to listen and learn. I'm dealing with nerve...
Thinking about you, Pam. Hoping you're letting others take care of you so you have the time you need to recuperate from all this. *sending healing thoughts*...
Oh Dixie, reading your story....my heart hurts for you. I wish there was a simple solution that's just been overlooked, something to give you relief from some of this physical and emotional pain that...
Welcome, welcome, welcome! It's unfortunate, the pain that puts us in the same boat, but what an awesome crew we have. I'm sorry for the pain you've been having to endute and I hope they can give it...
