Hey Shelley & welcome. I do/did have the same issues you describe. So much so I had Cryo-ablation done two months ago. My gyn suggested it to see if it would help since I was finished with having...
You described my feeling to a "T" NoirVault. That "high" is what I've experienced. On a new note, I was sitting here thinking (now that I can since I haven't taken Gabapentin today) about calling the...
Thank you Upbeat! I needed to hear that. I'm just going to call in the morning and see if he can see me tomorrow. It has helped with the pain, but I can't take the side effects. I would rather hurt....
Thanks Denise!!!! I'm with ya Marty!...
LOL you're right Marty. Thanks for the suggestions....
Thanks Marty. I'm going to give it a couple more days so I can say I tried at least 2 weeks. After that it's going to be history. Sherrine, I agree. My dr is usually so good about listening, but I...

Hey all! I tend to find late afternoon til bedtime I want sweets or carbs. The later in the day it gets the more tired I feel. So, I started laying down in the afternoon for 45 minutes or so. The...
Bless you Chutz is all I can say. I have so much weight to lose. I know it's hard on my body, but the pain is so bad at times I just want to cry at the thought of moving. Eating healthy costs so much...
Hey KellieJo & Sheila, I'm sorry I don't know anything about cysts, but in my years of experience with hypothyroid issues the numbers (test results) don't always show how you feel. My best advice is...
I'm wondering now why my doc is so quick to put me on Prednisone when so many of you take anti-inflamitories? I have had severe bronchitis this go round. Think I'll ask him because I really don't...
I'd love to be in with the Tigers. They are my favorite animal of all time. Of coarse I'm in the same mind set as Sheila in my size 6 cute outfit. lol...

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in a while because my grandson was born on April 7th and have been busy with them. Everything went fine until we found out he had ABO Jaundice. Everything is almost...
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I agree with Robin and Debbie. The less you worry the better it is for you. I know that is easier said than done also. I was so bad my husband had to take me...
Pat, congrats on the g-baby! Thank you for giving me hope on the grandbaby care taking. I've had to dig down deep to do a lot of things and I'm going to dig a little deeper for my little guy when he...

You're welcome Debbie. Let me know if you find out about being good means...lol Just kidding. Be good to yourself, take time to rest when you can, get some kind of exercise, eat well and spoil...
Welcome Denise! Sounds like my home...lol We raise grass fed cows/steer for our own eating. We used to have laying hens and I'm thinking about getting more. I miss them except for the poop part. We...
I'm sorry you're having so much pain. I am on day 13 of 30mg of Cymbalta. So far it's helped with the pain IF I take care of myself like I should. For the first two days I wasn't sure I was going to...

Thanks Sherrine! I'm going to check it out now, but I think it is. The heat has really helped today. The rain is here for a few days and the damp is not to great, but at least it's not cold and snow....
I'm with you guys on deciding what needs to be done vs what you feel like you can do vs being able to do what you want to do. I spent yesterday with my mom and elderly aunt and am really feeling it...
Thanks everyone. Yes, I will be a grandma next month to a little boy, Logan. (really excited!!!) Learning to slow down to smell the roses is the most difficult thing, but I'm getting the hang of it...
Thanks Sherinne. I appreciate it. That's my plan as well-not to use it unless I have to. Thanks Chutzie! I will post when he (Logan) gets here. I don't have as many years as a lot do here under my...
