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...
Haha..not quite sure what day of the week it is..:-)
Good morning, peoples..:-)
( and good evening, night, or afternoon where it applies).
Well..I'm up..but my mind is lagging.
And..frqnkly..it usually is these days.
Whether you call it " the fog" or cognitive disfunction..
I'm in it..and seem to be here to stay.
But..I figure..lots of you must be in it, too..
So..
Let's have some coffee or tea in the fog together,
Shall we..?
How the heck are you? What's new..or old..with you?
Good morning..:-)
Hugs..jc

It is Wednesday- one more day until my pm dr. appt. I have 2 OxyContins left- one for later today, and one for tomorrow morning. I think I'm going to make it! I just have to be careful not to step on anything, or bang my foot. I think I'll just stay up here on my bed as much as possible.
My son starts school tomorrow and suddenly his sleep patterns are totally messed up. I ended up giving him a Valarian Root and a Melatonin last night. He keeps getting up really early, like 4 or 5am an then going back to sleep until 5 or 6pm. That won't work for school! And Tim is working tonight, which means it's up to me to get Conor up for school in the morning. Don't want him to be late the first day! Thankfully, only 2 days of school this week...
Hope everyone has a good day! And jc, that combo of tylenol/ibuprofen and coffee has helped so far....hopefully I won't have to OD on OTC's and caffeine later on, but it's helping now!

I spend most of my life in a fibro fog- you get used to it after a while!
OK..your mission today..not to hurt yourself around the house.
As you seem to be much like me in that regard..
Do you have a helmet and shoulder and knee pads?
Maybe a suit of armor?
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Glad to hear you're makin' it so far.
Hugs

Huge Hugs xoxo
Happy dreams..:-)

Tis a beautiful morning. Thought I would go for a jog, come back and sit under the Magnolia tree sipping Mint Jeulips. :)))))))
Woouldn't it be nice. :(((( I froze up twice yesterday. My 20 year old came home in between classes and found me holding on to a bookshelf for dear life and he asked "Are you O.K?" Gotta love kids. I told him I was great just needed him to move me to the couch so I could be lazy for awhile. Thank goodness he is a very strong kid. I went into full body tremors and really scared him. I hope this next doctor can do something about all of this. . My husband found me the second time and got me into bed. I am going to change my avitar to the Tin Man!
I need lots of coffee and an oil can!
Hope everyone else has a low pain day with a chance to see some of the beauty in the day. Hugs-RJ
Good luck-RJ
As long as I don't drop a pen on the floor, I think I'll be ok.
The suit of armor sounds like a good thing though- hey, I think we have one in the closet! LOL!
Sandy
You MAKE the new Doc understand how bad things are.
Look him/her in the eyes and ask..what if I was your mother/wife/daughter?
Thanks for coming by...I like having my coffee with you guys.
I'm sending LOTS of fairy-dust your way, Rj...prayers..voodoo..
Whatever it takes.
Hugs
Hahaha- I did that last night- I made homemade chicken soup and put the bowl under his nose and he woke right up!
Now if only a bowl of corn flakes can do that!

Hey...any " lurkers" out there care to join us this morning.?
( if you're new..lurkers just means you're hanging around quietly...which is fine...just letting you know you're quite welcome to join in..:-) :-) :-)
My ankle is starting to look like an ankle again. The swelling was unbelievable. The last time it looked like it did yesterday was at post surgical time. Scary.
I hope everyone has a good day or night.
Glad to hear your piece are starting to look like you again.
( assuming the swelling down means pain's down some, Too?).
Glad you're with us this morning..:-)
Am I " back "? Haha.
( hope so..I've been SOOO tired).
If your docs haven't seen how bad that swelling gets? .....
It really helped my Immuno Doc to see pics of what my hands look like in a flare. Just a thought.
Anyone got a music thread for us this morning?
Hugs, Heather..:-)
