Take care of yourselves please! take it easy and I hope no hurricaneness is bothering you too much! xxx

Hi Everyone,

Boy..I thought I was doing better but I just had a major episode. I had a bad seizure and afterwards I couldn't remember where I was or what I was doing. I was really confused and frightened. Fortunately my neighbors found me and helped me out. My head still is a bit fuzzy but I do know what's going on now. But I actually lost a space of time during that episode. May I say, "This Bites." Well, tomorrow is another day. Take care everyone and thank you for allowing me to vent. Hugs to all, Cathy

oh cw im sorry i do hope tommorrow is a better day

HI, All

About the same here just waiting till Friday for my second test for RFA.
(((Hugs))) to all

Good Morning,
Tipper,
You have the strength of your friends with you. I hate what happened to your ankle. Malcolm must be a big dog.

Rhonda,
I had several radio frequency nerve ablations and they were a great help. That's what prompted my spinal cord stimulator, because the nerves grew back. I would have to go for a "burn" about every 4 months. Good luck with that.

Pamela, and all you other guys, thanks for making this group so special.

Big Hugs,
David.

82 more days

kate and cathy and tipper. So sorry for your bad days! Hope you've regained and things are much better now. (hope I didn't miss anyone else of recent) If you are having a bad one, big hugs to you.

Yesterday I couldn't beleive I could stand so much pain and nausea and work, and today it is gone. If people really knew.

My aged parents are moving tomorrow and my sister is resenting that I am chosing work over helping them. I would love to help them but at work I am safe. My family would push and guilt and stress me out so bad and I would wind up in so much pain for days and what would any of them care afterwards? Nope, I have t make a stand and say no to protect myself. They can call me lazy and that hurts my feelings, but better my feelings than all that pain.

Instead I set up my 22 year old son and his friend and a big 1 ton truck in my place. I'm not without a heart and brains.

David, I am so sorry that your sister it's been so mean to you, they are "normal" and "normals" have no clue of what kind of pain we go through, I will prauy for you my friend

Darn,

I really really hate this job. The process upstream from me is broken so bad because some idiot just can't be botherd doing her job.
THen everyone yells at me when things don't work right. Boss was supposed to talk about this yesterday. He "ran outta time". TOday he is not here and there is another problem caused by this witch.

I am gonna quit in Oct. THis is just stress that I don't need.

Hugs to all you who are having a bad day. i am doing better today but then I'm 'isolating' which is how I deal with stress. That's when its great to have this group and all you great folks. I can be 'alone' and still have people to 'talk' to. I've been doing some housecleaning, more than I should maybe but that's my other stress management technique - work hard. I vacuumed and swept the whole apartment... I may pay for that later but I did it slowly and was careful of my posture and movements. I think I will finally sew curtains for my bedroom. I've had the fabric for about 2 months, its time.

Hope everyone has a minimal pain day. Hugs and peace,
Lisa

Hi all. I had a couple of fairly low pain days so I did some much needed house work and I'm paying for it today! I just washed a couple windows on mon. and a couple on tues. and woke up today and can't turn my neck. I really hurt it and it didn't hurt to do it so I had no idea. I have DDD and a bulging disk in my neck and I guess Inflamed it. I just had an epidural in my neck a couple weeks ago, it didn't work! My lower back is killing me as usual also. Anything I try to do hurts me anymore, but they all say to not lay around, so what do I do? Hope you are all doing ok.
Hugs
schlene

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that I am doing fine. I still remember who I am, which is good, LOL and though I am sore and have headpain it wll pass. Thanks to all of you who sent me hugs and messages they were a delight to receive. This is a great place to be if one has to deal with pain. Thanks for all your support! Love and Hugs, Cathy

Have I said how much I hate my job yet today????

I really realy do. I have to wait till after vacation to quit. What a sweet vacation this is going to be knowing that when I get back I get to gice my notice.

I know the thing to do for me is fine a middle ground of no always being in bed and doing really simple exercise very slowly. Today I am hurting bad. I spilled choclate milk a big spot on my new mattress that I was going to get a matteress pad soon. I had got up and forgot about my new sleep number bed and did one of the fall asleep in mid air. At least it didn't go through the pad to the chambers but it looks like someone wiped a diaper on it in a spot. I tried everything to spot clean it. here comes mattress cover that doesn't allow spills to get on mattress. I am not going to eat or drink their ever again. Who ever said they are going to make curtains. I wish I could sew. I wish I could make my own clotes because they don't make good clothes for us big girls. I have to wash hair it is so gross, don't know how I am going to do it because I don't know how Iam going to be able to rinse it or put shampoo either at this rate. I decided to do arms raised. Not that many with no resistance and my arms are killing me. I am glad I didn't try and weights. I think I will just start doing five at once until I can buit up more. Eventually i will get back to using a small wieght. Thanks for listening.

STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF A BAD FLARE I'm hoping that it do not get worse . Here is a hug for every one
((((((((((((((((((((((HUG GENTLY))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

BLESSIGS AND A LOW PAIN DAY
