Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...

Bill - got any Camomile tea? I am about to snuggle down into bed and need something to help me sleep please.
What a day!! Too much work equals too much stress. But hopefully not for much longer. RJ - I have no back pocket spoons at present.
i am very lucky that my boss is really understanding of my issues. Not quite like the spoon theory but he is pretty good.
Tomorrow is Friday for me and that is a good thing. Means I can get some rest. mmmm I say that now.....
Super keen to hear what everyone is up to today.
JC - did you get the antibiotics yet? And are you feeling any better?
I wish I could write more detail questions to ask you but I fear I will get it wrong because I don't have much memory (from the gabapentin causing memory loss). I would normally go back to other posts etc to remember but hard to do when you are in the middle of a post. [sheepish]
Have a beautiful crisp day with wonderful energy to all.
Actually Bill - forget the tea, just a big bowl of ice cream will do it. Cheers

Can say I have thought of having the toast with chocolate milk though.... LOL.

I have doctors appointment this afternoon too...because tummy is back to giving me pain again since running out of antibiotics Monday....so 4:30pm off to see the good doctor...she is a sweety...but the one on telephone last night would not just write script for more antibiotics and told me she wanted me to be seen by the doctor for further evaluation of the tummy issues....since I had canceled the surgeon appointment yesterday I decided I would do as told....so off to see the wizard....the wonderful wizard of Family Care health center...LOL
Gonna pass on those eggs.
Haha..they probably taste fine..
But.. they just sound like they'll look like they taste bad.
I'll have some of Nessa's :-) :-) :-)
Hugs
Hope it is a good day / night for all.
I woke up this morning and my knees are in so much pain I can barely move. I have no idea why. Something has flared up, gotta love it.
Nessa, hope you are getting some much needed sleep. You need a refill on spoons. LOL
JC- thank you for starting today's thread. Hope your appointment goes well. Leaving breakfast to Bill is dangerous. LOL Let's see Bacon, Bacon and Bacon. :):)
Bill- Just playing! I need lots of coffee. Really not full of energy yet. I am sorry the tummy is not getting better. Hopefully your doctor can find some answers and help it feel better.
If my knees don't improve, I think today will a very slow one.k
Wishing all a low pain day full of positive moments.
Hugs-RJ
I think the cold gets to knees , Hans, and feet the most.
I was limping around like an old retired linebacker this morning :-)
Spring is almost here!!!!
Hugs
anyway I made plans for an AA meeting tonight then dinner afterwards at Steak n Shake...with coupons...LOL saving myself some cash is my style!
RJR sorry knees hurt so badly I am glad you have the electric wheel chair so you can get around thru the pain....that chair prob saved you four or five spoons....;0)
So thank you for helping me out there Bill.
RJ, I am sorry that your knees are giving you some grief. Not exactly what you had planned for today I am sure. Fingers crossed you were able to have a low key day and felt better by sleep time.
JC, my fingers were crossed for you too hoping you got your antibiotics. And happy we got to share some ice cream together :)
My eldest bird Georgie wants to get on the ipad keyboard and type too. :) He keeps trying to chew the keys.
I have a question for the next day post and will try to remember it then.
Slow going getting to work today so thought I would take a minute to see how everyone was doing.
Sweet dreams all.
You do know you can post a question at any time, right?
Yes.. I got my antibiotic ( and five other) scripts from PM Doc today.
Ha.. somehow missed the switch to MC muffins..:-)
Now, it's after service hours for them.
Hugs all

Good to see you getting up today Nessa....we are all still awake it is just evening time now not even 5pm central time where I live....the oddness of the time traveling around the globe becomes confusing but even worse when we are in mid winter/spring and you are summer/fall.....LOL
I mailed my sister a package today with an auto coaster that said Caution Dog my dog cannot handle its licker....LOL Her little King Charles Cavalier is such a licky dog...I have to banish her from my lap or be licked to death in my face....she has no manners...
I did get call from my MD office nurse as MD saw I canceled my appointment today and wanted to know if I was alright...I am feeling less pain today and bowels are moving normally...so I canceled because I would have had to pay the entire bill as I am about $236.99 away from meeting spend down on medicaid....I did not want yet another bill to have to pay to anyone....so canceled appointment thinking if I get worse again I will make new appointment and keep that one....
Don't you get a late cancellation fee when you cancel at the last minute? ( usually means less than 24hrs notice?
Just curious..
Because..I pay those fairly regularly ( I'm such a flake :-)
I don't mind paying the late cancellation fee..
They are a business.
