We love good news! As yours is of the best kind. Keep us posted as things progress. Warmly, Chutz...
Hi normdog, I have a concern about the medication you are taking. Norco is for treating moderate to severe pain and one of the side effects is sleepiness. It's NOT for treating sleepiness. If you are...
Hi and nice to meet you saraeli! My daughter has had tachycardia for many years and she's only in her mid 30's. From what I've been reading stress seems to be your worst enemy for bringing on...
Hi ladybug, Glad to hear from you. Well, on the pain thing, my doctor certainly believes it does and so does my body. We're getting colder right now and we're projected to go into a decline in temps...
Hi Brian, You're talking to one like yourself. CFS often goes with fibro so if you bring up both in the fibro forum you'll be surprised how many people has both problems. I agree, it's awful! The...
Hi Tammi, I live west of Tacoma so we're like neighbors in this worldwide forum. Glad you're posting for hubby. I hope one day he feels comfortable posting also. But at least you've got the ball...
Hi theHTreturns..., I sure agree that some days things truly seem hopeless and you are totally drained. Those days are ones where you might try connecting with someone or come online and post/read...
Hi, Many of us deal with chronic pain as well at CF and the weather conditions can really affect some people. Others no so much. If you have arthritis you may feel changes in weather increase or...
Hi, My CF began when the depression and PTSD intensified due to several problems I've been dealing with for a long time. It's as if I buried the painful memories and they all came back when one more...
Hi tupuedes, I'm so sorry you and your family have to go through this. Not long before my father passed away he was showing signs of Alzheimers. He didn't recognize common things like a camera. When...
Hi, It's been a while since you've posted. We'd love to hear from you and see how you are doing. If you don't want to discuss anything just a note to say Hi' so we know you're OK. I do care about you...
Oh Darla! That is such wonderful news about your son. Feed tubes are a nightmare at times. Our grandson is 9 and has a very single-minded attitude about what he will eat and do. He will go hungry...
I must admit I have tears rolling down my face. These are happy tears. Each and every post has been thoughtful, realistic and well put. You all have given people permission to change and that's a...
Thanks Susie for some great ideas. The bottom one is what I have the hardest trouble with. Not sure why but it's how I am. I'm going to have to do it at some point and that might not be too far off....
You know, I like the general theme I see here. Just because we've "always done it that way" doesn't mean you have to keep it up especially if your body isn't going to cooperate any more. For...
Great ideas! I have a gingerbread house kit I haven't done yet. Maybe I should let the kids do it. They are old enough but the middle one will probably do nothing but eat the candies..lol We give him...
Hi all~ I personally know that having fibro pain makes holidays rough. Do you have any tips and tricks for getting through the holidays and still have some 'gray matter' (brains) left? I will have...
Hi all~ I personally know that having chronic pain makes holidays rough. Do you have any tips and tricks for getting through the holidays and still have some 'gray matter' (brains) left? I will have...
Wonderful news! And I'm so glad you shared. It's not often enough that we share something good in relation to pain. Keep us posted on how it keeps going. Warmly, Chutz...
HI Joan! Thee are lots of us who don't fall asleep very easily. These are good tips! Would anyone else share ways that they fall asleep easier? Great post! Chutz...
Hi all~ I personally know that having chronic fatigue makes holidays rough. Do you have any tip and tricks for getting through the holidays and still have some 'gray matter' (brains) left? I will...
Hi PerpetualMachine, Nice to meet you and I'm glad you posted. It's way better than doing nothing. I have to agree that she may not be as committed to this relationship as you are or as you'd like...
You were a very lucky person getting to the ER and getting watchful care. I hope the numbness lets up. There are some fairly good med's for neuropathy. Check with your doctor to see what can be done...
Hi Boyd, And welcome! So often we forget to share our successes with others. I really glad you took the time to share your experience. Be well, Chutz...
Hi and welcome to Healing Well. I don't have much experience with CF except for a friends' son who had it years ago. I did some looking around to see if I could find anything that might give you more...
Hi LuRock, Nice to meet you. I've had CFS for years. My doctor prescribed adderal and it really helps. If you are feeling like you are going down hill please get some help ASAP. Call your doctor's...
Hi and nice to meet you. It is hard to find something that works for long term pain and we all have to keep searching for what will work for us, with the help of our medical professionals we see....
Hi Flower, I do have anxiety attacks but nothing as serious as yours. Even though what I have isn't exactly like yours I can empathize with you on living with anxiety. Know that we care about you and...
Hi TMo! Nice to meet you. I can tell you from personal experience that having anxiety and/or depression can cause prolonged nausea with or without vomiting. I've had it come and go for years,...
Hi Joan, I'm so glad you posted here. It's nice to meet you! I'm guessing you should not feel so tired and down. Do you see your doctor regularly? I would talk to him/her about your symptoms because...
Hi, My doctor recently suggested I might consider CBD oil for chronic pain. I also take Alprazolam which is the same as xanax but made by someone else. He didn't seem concerned about any interaction...
I've been through much worse tests. I agree with Sherrine, listen to you doctor. Colon cancer is preventable/curable. Why risk it. I had my last one this past year and because of my age and previous...
Hi Larry, It's wonderful to meet you even under these conditions. My brother lost his wife this past spring. When I ask him how he's doing he openly shares. At first he said some days are almost OK...
Hi and glad to hear from you again. If I were you I'd be very concerned about your MIL. It may look as if it's alright but the next time she may not get so lucky. My grandmother had several of these...
Hi, I did some reading on our states (Washington) tenant rights and laws. Below is what I found. And Yes, they have to give you plenty of notice. Look up your state and you can find out. If they come...
Hi again~ It's a very common thing women do is to put ourselves last on the list for anything. We're natural givers, nurturers, listeners and basically whatever someone else needs or wants we're...
Hi again, One thing I've noticed is missing, I think. Have any of these doctors offered you anything for pain relief? They can and should do that while they are trying to find out the cause. There's...
Hi and it's wonderful to see you. I remember when my father was on hospice care at home(which was right next door) and the stress is intense. I was working, at least, and didn't have to deal with...
Hi Pauli. Nice to meet you. I did some searching and found a huge amount of information on mayo's website. There's a massive list of medicines that might interact with Lex and Lisinopril. Both of...
Hi Faith, I searched around and found a very good page describing the differences in an easy and concise way. Hopefully this might help you see the difference. Remember one condition doesn't exclude...
Hi, I must agree with Lanie G. Your A1c is an average. So if you are testing infrequently and you are high that means that you are having lows to offset the high ones. There are many people who don't...
Hi Nattie~ Just an idea, maybe a bit out there but anyway... I'm diabetic and if my blood sugars get high, especially if we've eaten out, I feel like you describe until I get them back under control...
Hi davispen! Nice to meet you. For those in the USA Paracetamol is acetaminophen (Tylenol). You won't find it on store shelves in the US. It's sold under that name in Europe, I believe. It's all the...
Hi Aaronh819, I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this pain and no solutions yet. Absolutely tell your doctors about you neck issues. I did some searching and reading and neck problems can lead...
Hi Grace, And welcome to Healing Well. I usually hang out in the chronic pain forum but saw your post and your concern. Any time you have fever and/or pain with a condition like your, you should call...
Lanie, That site has lots of wonderful information. Some for people who are already diabetic but especially for those who are newly diagnosed or feel they need testing. My primary had a test kit in...
I am so very happy for you. We had Goldens for many year and they are giant teddy bears. Then we downsized and went back to Cocker Spaniels. Sort of a shorter, long-haired version of the Goldens. The...
Hi TMo, You might try setting an alarm clock a half hour or so before your scheduled bedtime. Pick a time that will give you time to wind down and be ready for bed. Maybe read a bit before you go to...
Hi Searching1, Nice to meet you. Have you considered going back to your primary doctor and asking is they can start all over with different specialists? If you're still reacting then something isn't...
HI nsearch212, I'm so sorry you're going through this and it seems to be taking forever the doctors to find out what's going on. I'm not familiar with eppstein barr although I've heard of it. You can...
