I feel like I just need some space, a little peace and quiet but really I get plenty of alone time. I just seem to want to be alone all the time and that's not like me. I'm alone now in my room having a glass of wine. SO and the kids are gone to the beach without me cause last time we went to the beach I ended up severely ticked off. I just hope this dark cloud moves on very soon. I want to enjoy the summer and have some fun.
Lisa, are you on meds that cause this? I take one thing that does this to me.
Welcome and please come back. Hugs to you and I'm sure that there are many here that you will identify with.
I hope you have a good evening and like I said, keep coming back.
Our new dog Rocco is wild. A lot of fun, but a lot of work right now. My wife has been an angel, helping with the dog and agreeing to get him. He is only about 7 weeks old. I thought he was 9. He is cute.
Anybody struggling I will pray for you. Please share what your feeling or doing. There are many people here that would love to help.

"I" need a hug because my quadriceps muscles are "jumping", and I have SEVERE pain in my RT low back...not sure if it's an inflamed sacroilieac,(sp?) or my hip...
The strongest meds I have are acetaminophen or ibuprofen; it hurts to sit, stand, lay or walk...I'm one squirmin' lady!
I NEED A BULLET TO BITE! ! ! (a cyber bullet might help {hint-hint})
I hope that ya'll have a good day and please post if you can.

I sometimes think irritability is my second name, I can get irritable if the phone rings or if someones asks what is for dinner, which I havent made in almost a week. I go through phases were we eat frozen food or carryout. I need to get back on track and I hope today is the day to do that. I gotta try it is Monday and want to start it off right.
I'm going through another 'down' phase with my pain, its depressing me alot. I think filling out that stupid questionairre triggered this; it made me really think about exactly what is wrong and how it affects my life. I had to think about goals for the future, what I hope treatment can do for me and every single aspect of my life that is affected by my pain and the severity of the impact. I don't normally dwell on that stuff; just go about my life the best I can and I don't look too far ahead or analyse my life. Seeing it all on paper really hit home. I'll be glad when this appointment Wednesday is over. We were going to go camping for a couple days which would have kept my mind off things but its raining today... dam, just wanna go back to sleep - for a couple days maybe
Hallelujah
Today I have to fight with my companies new insurance co. They just refused me more than 12 Triptans a month. That is like refusing a diabetic their insulin. No triptans = twice the pain and possibly hospital. I'm sensing a battle of ignorance.
Double hugs to you all.

My handicapped son will just be devestated if his dog dies in the middle of the upcoming school year. We are desperate to keep him in school and terrified that if his dog dies, he will just up and quit and never go back. That is not good for a person who is already struggling because of handicaps.
I have a small coffee maker in the bedroom. Water is in the bathroom. All I have to do is get a cup and spoon. and cream from the icebox (fridge lol telling my age now) while the coffee is brewing. Keep suger upstairs. Coffee pot is on a night stand by the bed. I get back into bed, take my pain pill, sip coffee, turn on the tv for distraction. This helps my mornings be alot easier. Just an idea for you. And sometimes my husband goes for starbucks for me when he's free to.
Better mornings to you.
