we used to have chatty threads all the time on a pregnancy forum i was on. it was so valuable.


saved us from answering : "can i still get pregnant if he pulls out?" about ten thousand times.

good stuff.

@ Kallie, this ones for you. .

Thank you all for making my morning great. This group and all of you in this thread is what makes a difference.

I'm working outside last and this week and the tops of my ears are sunburned, along with my head and neck. Dumb thing is I have a hat in my truck. I'm going to get ready for work. You guys are great.

Please keep this going. If not anyone else, it's helping me.

Maybe if it's helping you then you can let us know.

I'll be back...........

David.

well here I am for my morning check-in. I have 50,000 things to do and I hurt like hell and here I am on this website talking to friends who really know what it's all about. I am at level VI with pain in my back and sciatic pain, down my left leg. I am on high levels of narcotics, but they are not helping. I meeting with a woman to hire an assistant this morning, which should help out in my rental real estate business. I'm getting an MRI study on Monday and meeting with the PM doc on Wednesday. I guess you should increase the medication, until I start to get some benefit. Right now I'm getting the side effects without the benefit. The side effects for me are some muscle twitching and occasional constipation. I'm meeting with a psychologist on Monday I should probably start PT again. I read cc book and his approach just seems daunting to me to try to do it all my own. So you my friends know what it is like to try to operate in the world of normals when I hurt like hell. Thanks for listing and letting me vent.

Hugs to all and praying for all to have Very low pain levels today.

Pain levels good today.

I'm struggling with motivation, however. I'm trying to write my dissertation, and after I submitted my first rough draft of the lit review, I took a bit of a break while waiting for feedback and now I can't seem to get back into the swing of it.

I still have months to finish it, too, which doesn't really help. I'm the master of procrastination.

Today is a good day. Dad has been out of house for a "vacation" (from what I don't know) for nearly 10 days now.
He brings gluten into my kitchen. He claims to clean it up. I no longer believe that he gives a hoot about it. Some darn nurse told him that a "little bit" can't hurt me. He thinks a little bit is a slice of toast.

No wonder I have been throwing up and being so depressed that I wonder how hard I'd have to hit a tree for the air bag to fail to save my life.

He is going to have to find his own place to live with gluten.

Makes me wonder when ccbatson constanly states his way is THE RIGHT WAY. Nurses and doctors are prone to bias just like anyone else. No bias is ever good. An open mind is the only way to go.

i benn having pain and some wired stuff going on i need a hug minnie

Hugs, hugs and more hugs for Minnie! I hope you feel better.

@ Sunny, is your gluten allergy like some people who are allergic to peanuts? I know we have a table outside of the cafeteria at schools for kids that are allergic to peanuts. Some just can't eat them and others allergy is so bad they can't be in the same room that food that contains peanuts are in. Is that how you are with gluten????.hugs

@ Minnie, I hope you feel better soon ! So you can get that butt out of the air. Lol I pray your pain levels go down along with your butt soon ! Super big hugs Minnie

Feeling normal for a change and pray it stays.

Feeling humble and embarassed at my whining of the past week.

Hugs to you all

It not whining. It's just all of us needing a little more support , understanding and lots of love. Remember that's why we are all here, for each other. So happy to hear you are feeling better and I pray it continues. Hugs

So much is going on since I last checked it..lol! Of course, it seems that all people that suffer daily have a too full plate which drains from already depleted stores. I voted for a giant group virtual hug at 9pm tonight! At 9 pm tonight I will stop what I'm doing and open my arms really wide (well as wide as I can get them), and imagine a giving all of you a hug! Of course if I'm in the vicinity of my family and they see me stand up and give this giant hug to invisible people, I'm liable to end up back in the therapists office...lol! Well worth the price! So until then.......

Take care of yourself!
Deb

HUGS TO YOU ALL! XXX
