Hey guys! Sorry there are some of you that are having some pain issues. I hope tomorrow they will be lower. Hope everyone enjoys their evening. Hugs

I'm so darned tired that I can't even address you all personally. I read your posts and want to reply, but then my arm doesn't seem to want to work.

I've been up since 2:30 this morning, had to drive 25 minutes to a doc appt. for 8:00...then another 15 minute drive to see my shrink this afternoon. He's pushing meditation...again.

I've explained to him many times that the only time I can be that still is when I've taken my Trazodone and gone to bed!!!

It's almost 6:30 now. I'm hurting and too tired to think about eating, but I know it's too early to go to bed.

I'm thinking of all of you, dear friends, but I'm just not good for much tonight. I will be working a rather long day tomorrow...hopefully.

Hugs,
Cherry

hi everyone, it's hard to catch up after being offline a few days. sorry that pain is one of the things you can count on. kylie, sorry to hear about your epidural. i'm putting hope in the one i get this friday. cherry, david. lisa, cathy....that's as much as my memory allows, my thoughts and prayers are with you and all the other CPers. wishing a peaceful and low pain night/day. hugs!!

Hi Everyone,

I am a little nervous as I prepare for bed tonight because tomorrow I have an appointment with a new neurologist. She is local and I have been told by a couple of people that she is really good. So now I have my hopes up.

Her staff sent out a packet of paper work for me to fill out ahead of time, which I have done. And I took the time to carefully write out all my symptoms and described everything to the best of my ability. My goals for this meeting are better pain control for my head pain, address my seizure control, and my nerve pain. Wish me luck! I do not have a good success record when it comes to neurologist, but I have a good feeling about this one.

Wishing everyone a restful night! Hugs, Cathy

BLESSINGS AND A LOW PAIN DAY

@Cathy and Denise,
Good luck with your doctors appointments.

@Everyone. It's difficult to follow every post. As I read each one I can see that we have a common concern for each other. It's OK if we don't remember to include everyone's name. I want you all to know that I care about all of you.

This thread is for us. Let's keep sharing a little bit about ourselves.

I feel decent today. Trying not to overdo it at work right now is the key for me. I hope that everyone has a great day, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hugs,
David.

Cathy, I wish you the best of luck at your appointment today and remember to stay strong and mske your list so you don't forget anything. Neuros are a different bred. They are very intellegent but not many of them know how to communicate well or have the best bedside manners with their patients. At least that's what I have found dealing with my grandson. I'm not cutting them down by all means . My grandson wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for him but that doesn't mean I like dealing with them. They are very head strong people and they love a challenge. So please make your list so you can cross them off as your talking with him. That's what we did. Wish you the best of luck and as I said don't form your opinion on the first app. Hugs and prayers

@ Denise, wishing you the best of luck at your appointment today. I hope all goes well for you. Hugs

I hope everyone as lower pain levels today. Hugs

Morning to everyone. The neck/head pain is gone today, slept great and feel well rested. Wonder how long this will last, hummmm???????? Guess we learn to appreciate it while it lasts and always "TRY" very hard to remember not to "over do" it as we all know where we're going to end up, once again,ugggggg!!!!! Best wishes to all who have Dr. appts., may God bless you with good communication and results that prove beneficial. Need to get on with my day, children will be arriving soon. Lots a love to all, Vicky xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good morning,
woke up but still tired and would not mind going back to sleep for a bit till the baby wakes up, I watch my four year old niece in the morning while her mom works.

Feeling good finally, and no kidney stones but the only problem as of late is my left leg is numb and it really hurts more then usual. I guess if it is not one thing it is another.

Hope everyone has a good day

Looks like we've made the number and heading up over the top. I think that Spirit has a way of proving that when we give and when we ask for our needs to met, and when we ask for others to have their needs met... when we reach out into the universe with Love Light Truth and in service for others, and self when in need.... it comes back 100 fold. I see it working here on DS everyday and I see it in my world everyday. I always find what I am looking for. I am looking for evidence of Spirit's love and Grace and I find it! You are all an awesome bunch of human beings being awesome daily.
I am grateful.

I haven't been around here much today and I feel like I've fallen behind on what's happening and who had an appt. and....well, everything.

I worked way more than I can begin to do comfortably. Every inch of me is in pain, now. Why do I do that to myself? I have no choice and can't imagine giving up my house and finding a recliner to spend my days in.

It sounds pretty good right now, though. I'm praying I recover just a little bit so I can work a lighter day tomorrow.

My life pretty much stinks. It's tough t refocus and try to count blessings when my pain level is so distracting.

Sorry for the whining,
Cherry

Good Morning,

Cherry, I'm sorry you're having a tough time. I hope you feel better soon.

Manny and Vicky, It sounds like you've improved, that's great!!

Ralop, Your post was very moving. Thank you!!!!

To all of my other friends, including Kat, let's keep this going.

I feel decent today. I have to go and get ready for work. Rocco weighs over 3 pounds now.

Have a great day!!

Hugs,
David.

Good morning friends,

I've been up for over an hour (5:30, now) and doing everything I can think of to get this awful pain under control. My first client will arrive at 9:00 for a color/cut/wax so I still have time to coax/plead with my body to cooperate.

I awoke to the sound of rain on my metal roof. It's a lovely sound, but that's all I can say for it! Well...I suppose I can say we need the rain because the lawns are looking a little brown and crispy.

David...3 pounds? Is it time for weight control dog food for Rocco? LOL.

I hope you all have moments of joy and love in your day.

Hugs,
Cherry

I have been away for a while and now I am checking in. I don't see any posts from Tipper. Is she still around?

My heart goes out to you cherry as you battle with your pain. I battle with my pain everyday and my biggest fear right now is the cost medical insurance. My policy is very expensive and since I can't go anywhere else, they can just put the premium anywhere they want.

Take care everyone and have a low pain day

Lots of hugs
Hank

A special prayer for Cherry and Tank . And for all that's needs one. Hugs and prayers
