I have an 11 week old baby girl and I'm starting to have a really bad time with my back...my pain is spiking almost every night now, and to the point where I feel physically ill and have trouble...
It's still in the high 80's - 90's here but the almost daily rains are making me hurt something fierce!...
Oh my! I am laughing so hard right now. You ladies are great! :) Seriously, 9 easy steps? Step 1: Loose as much weight as possible, palstic surgery may be like the hairdresser, the longer your hair,...
Thank you! Her name is Layla Marie...she was born August 1st at 11:56pm, she was 18 in long and weighed 6 lbs 12oz...since then she has gone up to 7 lbs 2 oz. She's a good eater :)...
Linda! How are you? I miss you too! I hope you are doing well! I have an 12 day old baby here who is just the cutest...keeping her daddy and I busy but worth the wait for sure! :)...
I know it's been a long time since I posted but things have been busy :) I am just settling in with our new bundle of joy and my body is revolting. I was actually doing ok after my muscles recovered...
Hi Chutz, I miss you! :( Send me an e-mail if you get a chance I've got some pictures of the baby to send you! :) I hope all is well with you! Carina...
As a resident of South Florida I can tell you how bad this issue is here but I do not support a database tracking my prescriptions...and I think if you are going to impliment something like that it...
These pill mills make it harder for us legitimate pain patients...but I think we need to go after the crooked docs rather than punishing the patients. I don't want any of my meds in a database with...
I don't normally post on this board but I've suffered with both migraines & tension headaches since I was in my early teens. Currently I am 16 1/2 weeks pregnant so when the headaches started...
Oh that is hilarious! I'm literally LOL'ing. Thank you so much for sharing that! I remember being on a family vacation when I was about 11 and my mom went to brush her teeth w/out putting her glasses...
I would say a combination of those two options based on topics...some topics it would be to difficult to lump everything into one and some it would be better..IMHO :)...
I've had both...the Psychiatrist I just left rubbed me the wrong way from day 1 when I met her in a Partial Hospitilization Program and after asking me about a very important "event" got up in the...
Hi everyone. I went to a new Psych doc today and he decided to switch me from Prozac to Lexapro b/c I have been having anxiety issues and they are starting to affect my sleep and drive me crazy. My...
I'm 13 weeks preg & just finishing up a dose of Macrobid for a mild UTI, thankfully I caught it early and pushed for them to send out the sample even though they didnt see anything that indicated it...
I could certainly think of a few things but my #1 thing I wish he could understand is that if it's frustrating for him to see me in pain & hear me complain its 10x as frustrating to live like this!...
Thanks everyone! Glad to know I'm not alone, and I'm trying to keep reminding myself this isn't permanent. I have an OB appointment on Wednesday & a Psych appointment on Thursday. I will keep up...
I was wondering how you managed anxiety during pregnancy...with all these constantly changing hormones my anxiety is on a roller coaster and I don't know what to do about it. My OB is increasing my...
I was right at 6lbs, don't know where that puts me in the scheme of things but figured I'd give you the info :)...this Sensitive Everything Syndrome sounds very familiar ;) lol...
I love this brand that you can get at JCPenny called Strictly Comfort...omg it's like walking on clouds lol Not every one of their shoes are as comforitable but they make many styles including...
Why does it always seem like the motto is "Punish the masses to prevent the few"? The people who abuse these drugs are going to break the law to do it to do it if necessary and if you take away one...
Have you had your thyroid checked and other hormone levels too? I just had a miscarriage & then a D&C and it's been 13 weeks now with no period...sooo frustrating...been feeling like sits...

West Palm Beach, FL here! :)...
I had the same issue after my facet injections.....the doc told me I'd be fine and they ended up having to give me a stronger pain killer for a week while i recovered....I dont know if it's b/c of...
Check out The National Telecommuting Institute (NTI) - http://www.nticentral.org/ This is an agency that works only with the disabled. I believe they are looking for Medical Transcriptionists and...
So good to hear that your appointment went well! Congrats!...
Hi and welcome to HealingWell!! I have this problem when I am exposed to sun.....I once went to the doctor with severe burns on my chest and when he saw it he said "holy sh*t thats bad" Not a...
I take both drugs with good results BUT I did have some crazy side effects when starting Lyrica and some very bad side effects starting out on Cymbalta but now everything is good, I do feel that the...
Thanks for all the responses to this sensitive topic... First to quell any concerns - my doc did know I'd be off them for a week to 10 days and said I would be fine with my breakthrough med (vicodin)...
Hello Fibro-family - I know it's been ages since I posted last but it's been a rough year and a 1/2....I'm back now though! :) So I've been agonozing over this post for a while now and finally...
Well... I'm just a smart ***! ;) lol...
Just make sure to inform the testing facility before you pee in the cup. ;) You are not required to inform your (potential) employer and they shouldn't make you provide proof but a note from your doc...
Thanks for the info. I know that the reason doctors tell you not to take meds during pregnancy is b/c most haven't been tested for their safety. I mean, come on, lets face it, who wants to offer up...
It sounds like you are doing it correctly. There is a palstic backing you pull off to reveal the sticky side and then stick it to your skin. I use the Bioclusive or Tagaderm overlays to help keep it...
I am on the 25mcg/hr, just knocked down from the 50's, and I also noticed that they don't last the full 72 hours most of the time. I originally started on the generic Fentanyl patch and then my...
[color=blue>I] [color=blue>I] taking anything but I know I need to function and my doctor is monitoring me VERY closely. I've only know I am preg for 9 days and I have already had 2 ultrasounds and...
Hey Susie, Thanks. I am glad to be getting some relief. I wish it would all go away but we all know thats not realistic. And yeah, I knew better but I overdid it a few times just the same...it's hard...
Sorry it took me so long to get back on and update, we just moved and it took forever for the cable company to get our internet up & running. I am doing well so far. I go to physical therapy 3x/week...
Well my pain doc is tapering off my narcotic meds despite the fact that my pain isn't any better and I am desperate for some relief. I have decided to give the MUA a shot after ALOT of research. It...
If it's one thing I have become good at over the years it's research. I don't do anything without research and usually just flat out discount anything coming from any party that might have a vested...
I am a 24 year old female (25 in 8 days hehe) and I have worked Full-Time with CP for the last 6 or 7 years...unfortunately. (I've been unemployed since Sept but I'm working on that) I have no...
I find that Demerol works better than Morphine for me for whatever reason....so no, your not a freak of nature!! Our bodies just all react differently to meds....
Thanks for your reply Gramps. The literature I've been reading I selected carefully and I found many research studies on the subject in my search but yes, it still makes me nervous and sounds a...
My doctor is suggesting this but it makes me nervous on so many levels. Has anyone had this done? The literature seems to say its very effective but they have had more mixed results with patients who...
I made an appt. to go to the Cleveland Clinic (they have on here is South Florida) ans I am wondering what to expect. I am truly hoping they have something that can help my back problems, I can deal...
The only time I seem to have nausea issues is when my body heats up.....I can tell when I've been outside too long b/c I start getting nauseas (sp?) and dizzy. I have been having some major issues...
