Ama - I can't keep up either

Thanks to all of you for your dedication to this group, I think it's amazing. Hubby finally had his physical therapy eval today. It was a nightmare getting him, I kept bugging them and it still took two weeks. Now him and I both are dealing with dental issues and the dentist wont see him until they get a release from his neuro. So I'll bug them until they get their release so he can get his stuff taken care of.

Is it me or does it seem like everything we try to do in life seems hard. So many obstacles with doctors, insurance, pharmacies, ect. Could drive a girl to drinkin, so I guess it's good I don't drink, eh?

Tender hugs to all of you, I sure hope you've had a good day.

HUGS TO ALL....jc..

Hello everyone! I've been away from a computer for five days. I miss you all so much. I love and appreciate alll of you.

I hope everyone found a bit of joy in their day. Sometimes I need to remind myself to stop, take a breath and....just look around until I see something that I'm grateful for.

Tomorrow I will have an MRI of my cervical spine. Ever since I leaned back on my friend's really hard shampoobowl about 3 weeks ago, I've been in so much more pain. The damage goes way beyond just added neck pain. I know this has to be investigated, but I'm not looking forward to the report.

I have to struggle through a perm before I go into the tunnel...arrggghhhh!

I can't keep up either...that's why I've been a little quiet.

Hugs and joy...

Hi everyone! I haven't been able to do much at all on DS site. Glad to see everyone here! I sure have missed you all!

I was reading that a few of you have gone or are going to a chiropractor and saw it on another thread with someone else too. It's uncanny because I just cancelled my chiro appointment and did not make another one since I have lost hope for relief, but he has helped me a lot and now I am going to call and make another appointment...it's like a message was sent to me. Never before saw so many people talk about going to a chiro.

My days have been rough with sharp pains and muscles in my legs and neck so tight they feel like a rubber band ready to snap.

i'm glad you brought this up, sis (and the ppl before you), b/c it's been in the back of my mind. i have some chiro benefits and saw one before RSD. i'm going to check my benefits and see if i can get some relief from that as well. i have scoliosis, so i always had back pain. it's certainly worth checking out.

Morning everyone. Hope you have a beautiful day ahead of you with lots of love and laughter!

(((HUGS))))

Third attempt.......

Good morning and hugs to all......jc..

I havent replied on here in awhile, I am sorry about that it is such a good thread.

Good Morning,
It has already been a weird day as I went to slept early yesterday and woke up around 3am or so and then I got tired again and feel asleep around 6am to wake up at 7am so that is how my day is going so far confusing.

I have a strange feeling I am going to be tired I think it is because my doctor put me on lyrica for my nerve pain and each time I take one I am out within an hour or so I hope that passes only took two now one yesterday and one at 5am so we will see.

My new jake (sun conure) is doing good he is a character and I love feeding him that is my favorite I like how he can hold his food in his hand. I bought so much fresh fruit and vegetable my fridge has never seen so much.

Good Morning hope everyone has a good one

Here is a hug for Manny I need one also, its been a bad week. Hello to all my friends out there I haven't been around for a couple of months. Hope all is good to all feel good

So glad to see new faces returning (((((hugs)))))))

Hey All,

I am here at work, not having a great day painwise.

I have been struggling lately. I see my PM doc next week, and I am going to present him with my situation.

I might be depressed. I made a list of positives and negatives in my life and the negative is about 3-4 times longer than the positive.

Anyway, deep down I know everything will be OK.

I love this thread and all who are here.

Big Hugs to all,
David.

Hello all,
I am here in "level 10" pain, again. And feeling sad.

A friend told me today that other people are in even worse situations than I am in. For example, the mom who just lost both of her legs trying to save her childen from a tornado.

Telling me THAT does not make me feel one bit better. That makes me feel even worse. It makes me start thinking about all of the misery out there in this world. It makes me sad.

Another friend is upset with me because I didn't feel well enough to go to her birthday celebration yesterday. HUH? I am in so much pain I barely have the strength to take a shower!

I guess I am going to have to figure out how to manage expectations. Some friends are making me feel like such a wimp.

I hope you are all having a better day than I am having.
Hugs,
Cindy

Mark! I've been wondering how you're doing! so, how have you been?

Good to see you posting again.

Hugs'
