Hi Manny. I posted public on Chronic Pain, under Enigma Neuro/Migraine Doc visit, for anyone who is interested.

I do have to admit though, I find myself extremely depressed right now. I know there is no cure, and I am getting some help on Thursday,but I was hoping for some pain releif. When he said that there is nothing that will help for the pain, well....I was hoping. He did mention that the overuse of the pain meds I was on, was causing migraines which, well.....damned if I do and damned if I don't and I already knew this and it is another hard reality to swallow. When do I suffer without and when do I take it? Either way I'm just suffering.

I'm secluding myself and holding out until the botox and allowing that to help me out and being optomistic with that. Today is a bad pain day.

Tomorrow I get the botox injections and it takes a few days to a few weeks to see if it works.

(((((Hugs guys))))). Hope you are doing well. I read your stuff a few times a day but don't feel like posting. Sorry.

I'm sitting here looking down at my sleeping chihuahua. She's snoring. I just love being mommy to puppy dogs.

We just had a lovely snow fall out here in the northern country.
I've been doing better these last 2 days and I hope it keeps up.
I wish you all less pain. much less pain.
hugs,
ama

I am in a bad mood.
Perfect day - washing waiting to be done - but no water in the house to be able to do it - can't even wash my hands!
DH comes and says it is fixed and will last for a few weeks - good - start the washing so I can get it dry - NO WATER.
He says that he just tested it and it worked - I walked away before I said something I would regret later.
Came on her to vent.

Hugs to you all and hope that you have a great TG day.

I'm so tired. I worked what amounted to a half day, tried to rest, but hurt too much. So I gave up and made a double batch of cranberry orange bread...making the creamed onions in the morning.

There will be
17 of us around the table for Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone cooks so it makes it a little easier, but I used to do it all! Now, I'm being treated like an invalid and was told that all I was to do was onions since nobody else has ever done them. They're my Mom's favorite so she was the one to assign that!

I am so tired of working with this amount of pain. I'm trying very hard to see the bright side. I guess I ought to just go to bed and stop rambling.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone and a big group hug!

I 've been having a lot of lousy days. A lot of pain and exhaustion lately. Didn't know why so much pain. I was feeling a little better for awhile then it all came back. Tried to figure it out and remembered doctor said pain is caused by stress - physical stress, psychological stress - I didn't stress self physically so figured it was my upset with uncaring family - so told them off and guess what??? Some of my pain eased up!!! I feel great even though I still hurt. Cept now I really have no one. Even though they were hostile and abusive they were people to some degree.

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! and a less pain day.
My daughter and I made deviled eggs, greenbean cass and brocklie,rice and cheese casserole. we got the turkey ready and injected with yummy flavors. Lord I can't spell tonight. I guess I am beat!
I am thankful for this little group we have!

happy thanksgiving! xx

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope it's a nice relaxing day for ya all.
Going to relatives for dinner at 1:00 p.m. then back home to relax n watch whatever footballs left to see.
Go Packers, hope it's another Superbowl for Green Bay!!!
My sons a Lions fan so I can/will be happy for him if they win.
Anyway, wishing everyone a low pain day n blessed holiday.
Warm hugs, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for all of you.

Big Hugs,
David.

Thought of the day; pray for all of the chronic pain people in the rambling chronic pk community.

Happy thanksgiving to all

First off Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm here, I need a hug, & I need to know there are people that know what I'm going through.
I'm tired of my bf & anyone else not believing or realizing how much pain I'm in just about all the time! Just because you can't see my pain doesn't mean it doesn't exist! I feel like just screaming sometimes because I get so frustrated. Do people think I would actually want my life to be like this? I miss working so much, being productive, making my own money, relying on myself, and everything else that seems like a distant memory!!
My situation kind of really sucks, I feel like I'm the only one...
I don't want to live here, with him, in this house, but I have no choice since I can't work, have no money or income, no insurance, & no family to ask for anything.
UGHHHHH!!
I just needed to get that out! I really have no one to talk to.
Thanks guys!
:-)

Cyber-shoulders are the best kind to cry on...no judging, and only support and well-wishing.

Come on in by the fire. It's warm and inviting in here.

emf,

There are many here that can relate. I'm glad you're here. Come back!!

David.
