Thanks for stopping in to say hi mountainmom

amerika, i think it was you who recently said you were mad at life, boy, can i ever understand how you're feeling at that point. How many times i've said the exact same thing i can't even count. Hope you get some relief at this long term pain, i know (we) know, what it can/does to a person, not to mention there relationships. It takes an awful lot of compassion/understanding for a spouse/fam' members to know what we're going thru. Theres people i love dearly that i do not talk to about "health" issues, think theres something fundamentally wrong with this pic' but it's reality.
Couldn't sleep last night worth a darn, maybe overtired as i stayed up later then usual which normally results in a bad nites sleep.Should have known better.
Hope many are finding relief from the "ball n chain" pain carries.
God Bless n warm hugs, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hey Everyone,

Well I've been back to work 3 full weeks now. Physically it's getting better. Mentally it's great. I am experiencing some added discomfort in the evenings, to the point where all I want to do is sit around and moan. I usually just go to bed early because my PM has cut way back on my meds. I see him just before Thanksgiving and we'll talk about it.

I hope everyone is getting by OK. I'm still here, but tired!!

My DS account is messed up. I am not receiving any emails about topics, hug, messages.........nothing. I don't know what to do, other than send them a message, but so far no reply.

Hugs,
David.

David, I hope you get to feeling better soon. I bet Rocco is not liking the idea of you going to bed early after being gone all day. Hugs and prayers

I am with you David. I had to create new account. The good news on that is I get notifications on my Droid cell phone. I hope to either have my hippytoo account rolled into hippyone or get a password for my hippytoo account. It is crazy. I can get notifications. It is like if you establish new account you can get notifications.

Hugs to all and wishing you less pain and more joy. Each of you are a blessing.

Hi,
It is sunday evening and I am finally feeling better since I tried a new muscle relaxer and what I did was someone suggested to take half and that is what I did and that is ok the only thing is doctor prescribed one tablet four times a day to get relief and I only can take half a tablet once a day but I guess that is better then nothing and one script will last a long time I guess. Not sure on how much relief i will get in the long run.

I started to make a quilt Dixie turned me on today, and I just started to cut out the squares which is one of my favorite parts usually but for some reason i started to sweat bullets and only got some done. Not sure what is up with that.

Hope all is well

14 more days.

Bad weekend, bad morning. I was alone on saturday night which is rare in my household. I was in so much pain and the first thing I thought of was how drugged could I get and what if I took them all? I wound up calling my mother for encouragement, then smoked a joint and watched Canadian Football and it still hurt so horribly bad. I couldn't stop clenching and allow myself to relax.

I realized that I rely on people around me to distract me, no matter how annoying I may think that is. This is not a life. THis is me not stopping or I will feel the full impact of the pain

14 more days. He HAS to do something. No one can keep on like this.

HI mountianmom- hope you have a good week.

Angela, just 2 weeks and I hope you get some relief and answers, you have been waiting a long time.
David, you give me hope-- that maybe I can work again, I would love that. I am so tired of these walls.

Well I go for second RFA, on left side this Wednesday. I hope that he gets all the nerves this time. My left leg is not fun.
The weather is getting cooler and I love fall and spring.
Husband and I are talking about going to Branson (Silver Dollar City) after Thanksgiving. They put up all the lights and have all the Christmas stuff going on. It's beautiful that time of year.

I hope all have a great week!!
Blessings to All Rhonda

Hi everyone, I'm doing okay. Just working on not letting the ups and downs get to me. I'm kind of tired of the roller coaster ride. The emotional part of it, that is. Trying to separate the emotions from the sensation... not easy.
Take it easy and have a good evening!
Ama

Uuugh.

Graves hyper has kicking in. Woke up every hour last night ready to start my day. Woopie. Head hurts. Ughh. Boss is away and I'm in charge so I can't take the day off. Have to deal with someone today if he doesn't delivery Yeahaa. Thirsty like crazy. Groan. Hands shaking and feel like a walking energizer bunny time bomb. My coworkers are great though so I'll be okay today. Took tomorrow off to tak my son for Laser eye surgery. One of the steps for his dream of being a police officer. SIGH.

(((((((((((Serious hugs to you all.)))))))))

Good morning all. I'm doing okay I guess. Still the usual daily pain but I'm coping with it and nothing out of the ordinary going on these days so I guess I'm just on a plateau... which is good with me. So sorry so many of you are struggling with the pain due to colder weather or whatever has you hurting. My thoughts are with you and big gentle hugs to keep you warm.

Lisa

I have not been to the site in about a month having my time withthe pain but thinking of u all and those who accept it I will pray for u as well

BLESSINGS AND A LOW PAIN DAY

Hairdressing is not for wimps....owowowowowowowow. I managed to wreck my shoulder and neck before I even started work, this morning. It doesn't take much to get the pain started and doing my own hair did it!

My shoulder needs surgery, but I hesitate because I figure it's not going to help all the other pain. I don't have the best attitude, right now.

I dated a man a couple years ago who said, "I'm working on it" was my middle name. He's history...

Nice to see you again, Denise.

Hugs to you three ladies for the courage of going on each day.

I keep going on about this stupid countdown like I'm expecting an end to the pain.

Got to focus on something I guess.

9 days to go.

Angela.

Gentle hugs to you all, sisters and brothers of the same deamon who haunts us.

Hi Everyone,

Another day has come and gone and I did ok. My situation has not changed. I have called my doctor's office repeatedly to inquire about help with pain medication. They promised to come through today and didn't. It is frustrating and disturbing. I don't understand, on one hand they tell us not to clog up the emergency room with non-emergency problems and go to our doctors instead. But then when we do that we don't get care! I am a rule follower and try to do the right thing and right now I feel like I am being miss treated. Hugs, Cathy
