Tony, Thanks - I really appreciate that piece of advice. As right now my only true "pain" medication is Methadone - it's the best I've got. The doctors are working on pushing Lyrica through as a MAP...
Tony, I've been on such a host of drugs, the methadone is just the latest in the world of triplicate medications; but very effective! Gone are the days of Norco, Codeine, Morphine, Percocet - and...
Good Morning Dani, Yes, the air does tend to be nice in the mornings; but when you get up at 10am - that air has come and gone. Today was a late waking day for myself, but with no children and no...
gettin by, Thank you for your kind words; and also your words in being in compliance with the TOS of the site. I've now combined things to be a bit shorter, and I believe I counted 10 lines...if I'm...
Skeye, Many moons ago I was a member here at healingwell; and it looks like the site has gone through a few changes. Over the years, I've been through a lot, medications have been changed; and lately...
I know exactly how you're feeling. Once upon a time, a few years ago; I could compete with the most drugged up lab rats on the face of the planet. I was on so much medication that there wasn't much...
You'd think that living in the South - going through a heatwave, with no rain or weather systems in sight; one with chronic pain would feel better; but today is turning out to be one of those days....
I do want to apologize for any long postings that I may do. It seems when you're full of hot air and type hundreds of words a minute the words tend to flow out like a broken dam. The last few days...
Cody, Thanks - I really appreciate it. Although personally the acid in my stomach doesn't effect me in that way - mine upsets my stomach so much to the point of nausea like you wouldn't believe that...
Carol, I get all of my prescript ions filled at a main hospital here in town, and because of this all of my doctors see what medications I'm on and who is prescribing what. I agree with the NSAIDS,...
Thanks for the words of encouragement Carol. I know that I can't give up hope or faith that eventually one day I will be better, but it's so very difficult. Social Security denies me everytime I've...
I always get wheeled in - and the nurses saying... "Oh, welcome home - we thought you had run away!" lol @ bingo....waiting in the ER is like a slot machine; eventually you'll hit the jack pot...you...
Should? lol - more like HAVE TO! The busprione is "supposed" to help with the smoking, as it is "Zyban" but it doesn't seem to work; and my self control is nill. I've not tried hypnosis, because it's...
lol wouldn't it be nice to be a stranger for once!?...
Dani, It's a pleasure to meet you. I've only been here for a day, but it seems like everyone here is nice and open. Not often I run across someone as old as we are (grins) with pain at such an old...
In my experience, yes. I have many lung problems, but the acid buildup in my stomach makes a feeling similar to a pneumothroax in my case. Sometimes, it can make it difficult to get a breath, and...
Yes, the only thing that started at an earlier age, were my GI issues - which seemed to always, in some form follow me around. I was always known as "the puker" - constantly vomitting (TMI, I know) -...
Carol, Thanks so much. Unfortunately, I have to many specialists! PM&R, Pulmonology, ENT - you name it, I have...and about to pick up a new counselor, who I'm sure will send me out to Psychiatry so...
Hello everyone! My name is Michael, and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, and give just a bit of information about myself. I'm posting this in every category that I'm going to become a...
