When life hands you a bowls of lemons...or throws them at your head...find any bit of fun you can while you make some lemonade. Recently I had my hand squished behind a large piece of...
I spent the money and wish I hadn't. It does not have a bad smell, easy to wash off but same as rubbing regular lotion....did not touch nerve pain even after repeated applications. Might work on...
Never fails me...... Amish sex hotline, may I interest you in a little ankle or elbow? Silence.... Hezekiah, is that you? Hard to keep from laughing but well worth the silence....
I was always taught that you are not required to respond to rude or stupid. Ignoring works too. You can give a quizzical look and then change the topic, or just turn around and wander off. Find...
I think if you are getting sleep ANYWHERE take it. Sleep helps our bodies and minds recover from an injury. Good luck in your transition....
I was sitting in the lobby today, waiting to go back and see the doc. Not a low pain time after the 90 minute ride but am not screaming or kicking (I do however, reserve the option for a future...
Clem, We are listening. We are here and sadly, we understand. Welcome to the crew....
I really thought that getting to the specialist would solve the mystery. I STILL believe this. The insurance folks have a different plan. They decided hours before my visit (a 4 hour drive there)...
How do I even begin? Our path has taken a nosedive into a giant cesspool of bureaucratic quagmire. On the day I am supposed to drive the 4 hours to see a specialist, insurance has decided they wont...
Well, I am finally back and kinda - maybe - sorta on task? The last few weeks have been a ride. We did not go on a second honeymoon as planned. Jamaica will be there another time. I have been...
I continue to fight my insurance to cover bills. My eyes are set on the 25th of March as that is when I will see the specialist. I must have resolution! Gamer, good luck with your fur babies. I hope...
Nothing helps the heart to heal like lifting someone else's spirit. You did a good thing for her and you. I am sure fido appreciated the walk as well. Don't overwhelm yourself but most certainly use...
Hello guys, thank you for the kind replies. I didn't mean to make anyone cry. I was just purging. Nothing has improved except my perspective, but often that is enough. I realized that this can be no...
John, You are being very straight forward so I will as well. First and most important there is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. I am glad you reached out to the group. Second, I am a...
Just a vent, no need to worry over my ramblings. I just have to get this out, maybe then it will quit slamming around inside my head. I am sure you guys will understand. Tomorrow will be a year since...
They are coming to get you Barbara...err, I mean Bik31. jk Dreams sure can be wild. when I started Chantix i was warned about vivid dreams. As mine as typically worthy of a Steven King novel I just...
No, you will never be 100% free and clear of anxiety. Anxiety is a normal response for a human being. The only time it becomes a diagnosed issue is when it interferes in your life. We get diagnosed...
Oh, that sounds nice. I like watching the big birds...not those nasty spatzies, or bully blue jays. We are blessed to have a wake of buzzards on our property. There are hundreds of them...so no hawks...
Sending hugs and positive thoughts your way....
White Beard spoke the truth. I can not add much except....bookmark this site so you can come back and visit with your new friends. :-)...
Larry, Have no fear. I think most of us are fluent in typo, so no worries. :-)...
I am not sure I would call them normal. I am not trying to pull you down, if these shows make you happy then go for it. Bear in mind they are heavily edited to increase the drama. I just wouldn't...
Everyone has their limits...you know yours that's good. This isn't a quid pro quo kinda thing. Keep reading and learning. Speak up when you are moved to...its okay to just listen....
Hello Breal, Sounds like you are going to fit in just fine around here. As the others have said, we are not drs. But you will find wonderful folks who are great listeners. With the vast personal...
I have developed a new relationship with my office chair...why did I ignore it before? I did rip the arms off though...cant rest my arm on anything like that. Even if the tub were floor level it...

Brian, so glad the drs are paying attention. I sure hope they can get you squared away soon. Pain is no fun. Good luck and keep us updated....
Sending hugs and hopes of peace your way....
I have "irritated" all 3 major nerves in the arm, plus a few more in the shoulder and neck. I can sometimes make a full fist, it depends on how much swelling is there. That changes throughout the...
Hi LexiRae (my goddaughter's name Elexia Rae), Long story short....nerve compression/damage in neck shoulder elbow and wrist, cant life arm above shoulder level without screaming in pain... can't...
Oh honey that's so wrong of them. Is this witch a tech or the pharmacist? I might talk to her boss and explain the poor service you continue to receive. If she is the pharmacist I might switch to...
Weren't you lucky to find that lady! The soul removal process must not have taken during training. Congrats!...
Sister, I am so glad you spoke up. That's is disgusting that he doesn't even know what you were on and he was signing rxs. UGH!! I wish you luck on the mri. They aren't fun at all. You are a strong...
Deep breaths...don't forget your coping skills. Doc said its nothing terrible. You are getting yourself all wound up. In the words of a wonderful person "hello, chill out." :tongue: Get some rest and...
Where's Waldo? Its a great distraction at any age....
resistance is futile....
Even if you have someone Vd can be a depressing day. I really like Audrianna's suggestion....spend the day with the boy. Make the day special for him. Depending on his age this may be the last year...
Cool, so you get the box of chocolates - sans Nyquil and Benadryl of course....
Periods of deep thought are beneficial as long as you remember that you are here, right now...then is over, and maybe hasn't happened. We are here for you....
Oh Sunny, that is hilarious! I find that humor gets me through most things....even if no one else laughs I am only trying to keep my own internal pressure regulated. But, it is great when you others...
Okay, so wrists....constant pain, weakness/cramps in hands at times. if they put you on Neurontin then its nerve? Nerve pain can be very hard to treat. I have nerve damage left side from neck to...
Sounds like a great walk. So glad you were dressed appropriately...lol I bet there are beautiful places there. Our landscape is fairly white and yucky right now. Glad you and your alien are bonding....
Honey you have a full plate with three babies...of course you are going nuts. You sound extremely stressed. Our bodies respond to anxiety stress and depression in different ways. Add broken sleep and...
Park, I am sure he will be okay. Kids are really resilient. They typically heal quicker than adults. It is normal to worry. They are out babies after all. I know this isn't what you want to hear but...
Hi Brian, Sorry about the pain. I am also limited in how I can use my hands. Understand I am not a dr. I don't even play one on TV, but I need more info to even hazard a guess: where in your hands?...
I had to share. It isn't often that we get to laugh with our Drs. I haven't been in to check my eyes for 5 years and got caught in the store by my buddy the eye doctor last week. So, today I go for...
Thanks Turtle. So do you have a secret to getting through sweeping/mopping? I can sweep a single room and then I am leveled for a while. If I am really careful I can get two rooms swept in a...
