I deleted my other thread as i see it pertains here. Today i had an appointment with my pain management doctor. he was not in a good mood so i didn't press my breathrough pain issues, but that is...
First, i am so sorry that you are going through this. second, i am sorry that you aren't getting any relief from your pain. i promise you, i was on here feeling the same thing a few months back, and...
my gallbladder surgery was set up quickly despite normal tests, and i had a movement malfunction. luckily i can say that was the least painful of all my surgeries. i hope it is the same for you, good...
i agree with all that already said. you cannot punish yourself for your past or anticipate punishments of your future. you are a good person. ttys, my dear friend tabatha...
thank you all for your support. the pain i'm feeling is most definately a fibro flare. i guess the relief i got was another "break" as i like to call it, but i usually get those for only a day at a...

thanks catz4, we have talked about our names before. :) in chat. My name is Tabatha so i grew up being called tabby-cat. i think it is so cool that your name is cat. yes, the trauma was a hard. i've...
o and stella, i wanted to say that i have been taking zanaflex some, but they knock me out incredibly. i have an appointment monday morning with my pain dr, as that is the exact time i was supposed...
stella., you're post said i took them for pain and to get high. maybe i had a typo, but that was supposed to be not to get high. he is just now monitoring my meds this next month. and i'm letting him...

O this is perfect for me. Yesterday I cut 11" off of my hair and donated it to locks of love. I also got a long bob which I've wanted forever and red streaks. I also got my nails done and eyebrow's...
potsie, lyrica makes me gain weight really bad. that is why i hate it. :) but rather be heavy than deal with that sciatica...
If sciatica is left untreated it can be permanent. I get dead leg too. I hate lyrica, but I have peripheral neuropathy and sciatica and it helps tremendously with the sciatica....
Thanks wolf for your thoughtsand you are absolutely correct. Fortunately my husband has 3 beliefs: he hates pills (thus our battle), he is law abiding and would be too terrified to sell them in fear...
i did wait for the appointment. i told them i was fine with just waiting for an hour, as the chairs were comfy. but he was done with me by the time my appointment was scheduled. i'm going in...
ok, thank you both. i will ask i suppose at my next appointment. maybe that is what happened, i mess up in appointments. because my appointment was an hour later than the secretary had told me. at my...
ok, guys, if you are stillhere, i have a question for you; my psychiatrist spent 15 minutes with me, asked me a series of questions, absolutely no background health information or abuse, etc....
my child is 9 years old, getting by, and my husband and i have been together for many many years, and this just started over the last year. i know that i'm making "excuses" and i know how it appears...
well, i'm going to keep this short. for those of you who want to keep in touch please email me, again the email address is cat8201@ live.com. straydog, i appreciate your advice, but it isn't that...
o chutz, i so wish i would have read your post yesterday morning. i came home yesterday. he has admitted fully that is he just as much has fault in this relationship. he apologized for blaming...
PA lady and others, thank you so much for your concern. my last post was made at 3:33 a.m. and from my phone. my phone started freezing up in the end, so when i just re-read the post it made no...
well, my husband's bark was much worse than his bark. i waited until my husband got home and we were getting ready to leave and he said well, have you taken them yet, and even though i had taken the...
i think he is willing to seek help with me now, before he wouldn't. i have come up short before in my meds, but i'm honest about it. i usually throw up A LOT and because of this i take a second dose...
I agree jim, and I'm suffering from sciatia which is terrible in and of itself without all the other things. So it is 5:30 am and I thought my migraine meds were increasing my blood pressure. It is...
Dani, thank you. I think I am going to quote you about the days being gold and put it on my fridge. I need to remind myself of that every day. I am ok tonight. I fell asleep around 11 and woke up at...
Thankyou PA, the last sentence was his perspective not mine. I have always been strong. But I am def weaker now than I was before I became ill. I try not to let him get to me but I have become...
Just to show how he thinks he told me if I got the handicap placcard for the car that he wouldn't let me use it because I need the exercise. So now, I just don't go to the store....
Thank you PAlady, his response was pure honesty. We try to be really honest and I think he was trying to say that he never even thought he would throw things so...he hopes to never throw anything...
Hey catz4 I usually can't sleep either, so maybe I'll find you and mikel on the chat rooms at night. I am in central arkansas so I'm central time....
Thank you catz4, my blood pressure is my demon right now, I'm trying now to let the pain take the front burner. My husband was telling me to get up but one look at my face (or maybe me telling him...
I empathize completely. Do you check your blood pressure when you are having that pain? I have high blood pressure but it gets insane when my pain levels are high. That would be sufficient enough for...
Michael and Jim, thank you I will ask my dr about that. If I would have saved all my meds perfectly for the past year I might have made it til saturday but I tend to use that on the days it is really...
I would like to join you, let's see if I can actually forget,these things play like a broken record player in my mind: "You just need to control your disease then you will be better" "If I were you I...
