Schlene,
I'll send you a PM about the picture when I get home.

Enig, could the seizure be due to a brain tumor? I hope she's ok.
My rfa worked and even though I SCREAMED IN HORRIBLE PAIN I let the PT press on muscles til they quit and my pain went DOWN when she was done. I'm so glad I endured! I just wanted to let her try once. I'm soooo glad I did. I have some nerve pain still but most is muscle pain...til rfa wears off. :( So greatful for the lesser pain days. Glad the scs is working David..careful of bending...leads can MOVE on you!
I miss you all so much! Am trying to get a job, a million things to do...no time for online but thinking of you all. Rocco chewing on the keyboard! lol!!! I love it!

Thanks David, I will try to do that. Good luck to Rocco at the groomers today, I was a groomer for over 20 yrs until I had to give it up last year. Puppies are so fun (and challenging) to work with! I hope your groomer has alot of patience, you have to go real slow the first time!
Take care & Big Hugs

Good Morning,

We took Rocco to the vet for rabies and distemper shots(? spelling), and found out that he was missing a required shot for grooming and training. He will go next Thursday and get that, but that cancels that.

I feel OK today. Does anyone ever want to just scream when your significant other says something regarding how they think you feel, but really don't have a clue??? I'm in the middle of that now. My doctor changed my meds at the last visit, and that with the combination of being home, is driving me nuts. My wife said something this morning and my verbal reaction was not pleasant. I have pushed her away, and she is not happy. Anyway, we'll see what happens. I have some of my old r/x that I'll have to use until I see my PM on the 1st.

I hope everybody else is doing OK. TTYL.

David.

David,

Happened to me yesterday! I hate hate hate my work lately. I am downstream from everyone and you know what flows downstream. SO I get all the cr*p. I have been struggling for 6 months with a problem. Yesterday I learned that the person who claims to give a cr*p (also the bosses wife) simply can not be bothered typing in my email address.

I am still trying to decide when I will give my notice.

That's gotta be one of the most irritating things and unfortunatly seems to happen "way to often", be it between spouses, whatever, n I hate it to, think we all do. Someone presuming to know something yet unspoken. Fries my nerves.
As for me, doing ok. Preparing for the dreaded colonoscopy. 2 days of fasting which is never easy. Appt. later aft. so I'll be resting most of the aft.
Headaches but apart from that good, nausau is gone. Alka seltzer helped alot.
All you folks on the E. coast do whatever is necessary to be safe n know there's multitudes of prayers being lifted up on your behalf.
May God help us all in meeting our daily needs.
love,hugs & prayers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hugs to you all buddies.

88 days to go

Went for a free gift certificate massage. Told her I have migraines and to be careful with my neck. As always she said.."have you tried accupuncture?". Face down, I cringe my teeth into my brown towel. "yes and it doesn't work" I think to myself, shut up and massage. Massage doesn't work either but I like it. Why do people have to endlessly shove accupuncture down my throat? I want to just scream at them everytime. I have a serious and chronically painful neurological disease and at this stage little friggen pins just make me really really angry and so does unsolicited advise.

The massage was lovely though. Still got a migraine.

I've had too many people ask if I've tried 'Aleve' because it works so well...NOT.

Grrrrr

hi, i've been mia a few days. just tried to catch up. david i really identify with your points. my ex can now be supportive that he doesn't have to live with me and my pain. i'm so sorry for everyone else's pain. new patch day and i've been chasing the pain since i woke up. i see my PM for the last time next tues, then i leave PR. that situation has been full of tension. i kind of have the packing under control and a lot to donate to church. do something, rest, do another thing...
i hope everyone in irene's way is safe. apparently, she was pretty mild coming through here.
peace and relief!!

OH YES!! THE T-SHIRT...someone wanted ideas of them for us to wear...how's this?
In tiny letters...I've tried
accupuncture, aspirin, music, meditation, etc etc etc...Fill up the shirt and on the back 'IT DON"T WORK DAMIT' NOW LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT IT!

yes, live, i cast a vote for that one! yes, tried it and everything short of a witch doctor!

Good Morning everyone,

I am doing about the same. Trying to figure out where this pain is coming from. I'm pretty sure it's muscle. Getting some burning and sharp pains in my shoulders, back, and spine. The SCS seems to still be working good.

I hope everyone has a decent day today.

Hugs,
David.

I would buy that shirt!


87 days.

I feel so bad. god, it is bad today.

Check-in: I am back from a week in the Poconos where we were rained out. I am in Philadelphia and we are waiting for Irene. Hopefully it won't be too bad. My son just returned from visiting colleges in Boston. Because of my pain, I couldn't take him to visit colleges. Then my best friend Chip offered to meet him in Boston and take him to several colleges, Tufts, BU and also Brown in Providence. My son was able to take the last train from Boston today and arrive safely in Philadelphia around 12:30. I'm going to start Aqua therapy after Labor Day twice a week. My PM Dr. wants to try 2 more injections and then a trial for the pain pump.
Take care everybody and hopefully we can all have less pain today.

I'm glued to the TV and watching the storm that's heading my way tomorrow. We don't have hurricanes in Vermont...what the heck is this about??? I'm very nervous. If we actually get the 4-7 inches of rain they're predicting...crap, I might have to pack my zoo and go to my Parents.

My PT figured outwhy my left knee has been painful all Summer and getting worse. My kneecap was not resting in the proper spot. She manipulated it, taped it and gave me some gentle exercises to strengthen the muscles around it.

Between the storm, trying again to eliminate Fentanyl and my poor knee, this has been a horrible day. As soon as a pain med takes the edge off, I scurry around preparing for the storm. I made muffins and a Blueberry Buckle, picked some supplies at the store...had to lie down between each project.

I'm not doing anything else tonight!!!!
