Good morning, friends...well, it's morning, but not one of my better ones.

Everything hurts....well, my earlobes are ok! I guess that's the blessing I'll try to focus on.

I have to rally for a few clients, today. I'm sure I'll manage, but at the moment, I can't quite figure out how.

Enigma...I hope your migraine has lessened. You poor dear.

Love to all,
Cherry

cherry, I'm sending you some strength to get you through the day. And maybe just maybe you could ask a client to pierce those earlobes so their pain would match your others. Lol hugs my friend

Good Morning :)

@ Enigma 63 more days to what? I have been out of it for awhile.
@ Cherry, I hope you don't wear yourself out doing hair today. I hope you can rest between appts.
@ David, I hope you day stays good.
sorry If I missed someone, We had band practice last night, to get ready for our outreach mission. I didn't play the bass, cause my back is still acting up, but I sang instead. We sounded awsome, I do know it's the Lord above helping us with this mission..
((HUGS)) & Blessings Rhonda

I am sorry to hear of everyone's difficulty. My family has all gotten up and left for their individual activities like work and school. I'm standing here at the computer (because I can't sit) and my sciatic pain is pretty bad right now. It just means I'm going to drag myself through the day with a lot of resting in bed.

David-tell us about God. I so admire your faith and I wish I had that connection to God.
Hugs to everyone and let's hold hands that we can get through the day together
Hank

Hey Everyone,

@Hank, I will write a journal entry today to give you and all my friends an idea of God in my life on a continuous basis. I live in NC which could be considered the belt buckle of the Bible belt. I don't want to push religion on anyone, because that's not what It's about, so within the next 24 hours I will journal about it.

I have a busy day today.....helping my wife get ready for an antique show. It's raining off and on.........need I say more???

You guys are so special to me and I look forward to letting you all know a bit more about me in that journal entry. I don't have time now, but it will get done.

Big Hugs,
David.

Sorry about all the pain. I have a migraine but it not that bad. Enigma, My mom has migraines so bad she has to go to the hospital and they have to give her tons of moraphine for it to go away. No migraine meds work, she tried everything. They started happening after she fell down a incline and smashed the side her temple on the driveway which is river rock and both her eyes swelled shot from the force. My mom has fibro too but she has a more pain chronic pain problem so she usually asks me what I think is fibro. What symtoms that is. It strange because her migraines start with the same temple she fell on. That make any sense to any body. I think it does. Kind of consistant with fibro, she had her head x rayed I don't know what else. Obviously if you had a head injury it could cause migranes . Anyone have the same problem. Nothing helps her but the hospital. I am stressing myself out today. I don't have my application in till tomorrow to the apartments I want to live and It says it can take up to two weeks to put application through and I don't have enough time to get everything else done at Housing and inspection if they are going to take that long. I am so tense I wish I could have someone hit me over the head with a hammer. I can't calm down. To make it worse my aide has some virus. I am also not feeling great, I have had the worse pressure in my head. I feel like my head is a balloon and needs to be popped. I know my sinus are imflamed and I don't have anything to get the pressure down. Err... I hope I can try to calm down.Hugs to all. Enigma I hope your migrane lessens. For everyone in pain and doing well today have a good day and lots of hugs.

Hi Everyone,

@Engmia, So sorry to hear about your trip to the hospital. And even sorrier to hear that the pain medication you were given did not help. How are you doing now? Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers! Hugs

@Cherry, Glad to hear that at least your ears are painfree! LOL. You always make me laugh....Love You!

@Hank, I wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and hoping your day goes better than you thought. You, too, will be on my thoughts and prayers.

@David, Have fun at the Antique show and I look forward to reading your journal entry. Hugs!

I woke this morning a great deal of pain. I am loosing my umph. I hurt so much that all I want to do is stay in bed all the time but I know it is the wrong choice. I just get no relief from the stupid pain it is constant. I am really struggling right now. Hugs, Cathy

Hooray! Hooray! I finally vacuumed today! It feels good to have cleanliness. And it didn't kill me. I am learning to appreciate the small things: small accomplishments, small pleasures. And I appreciate this group very very much.
Cathy, I hope you get your umph back!
I'm sending everyone a little bit of my joy right now.
Hugs,
Ama

Afternoon all. I just got back from the hospital again since 4:00 am. I couldn't sleep it was so bad and I needed better answers than 6 percocets that making me high but the migraine was still there at a 9. I was at the hospital for 9 hours and got a new younger doctor who conferred to the older one of yesterday. I finally got an CT scan and my blood tested for a bunch of things. I am releived to findout that I don't have a tumor or anything seriously wrong with me.

I've gone home with more stronger painkillers and told if it doesn't let up in a few days to come back for an overnight for more tests.

Saab - 63 days is until I get to see THE Migraine doctor. I've been the waiting list for 17 months now and it has been a major test of endurance especially because I'm afraid the he might be like the other doctors and say --- just don't know, mam". But I also have my faith that he won't be like that, otherwise he couldn't be labelled as the best Migraine doctor around.

I really appreciate your support, everyone. It means a lot to me. thank you.

And those of us who are in chronic pain never do get a break, do we. It is always another thing every single day.

Enigma, you poor dear. I don't know how you manage. It seems like there should be a 'dire need' list for that doctor. I can't believe they didn't keep you in the hospital, at least for some serious pain management.

This just breaks my heart...

Are you keeping a diary of the headaches pain level and if there are any times that they are better?

That is what helped my doc help me!

I don't know if I could wait that long to get an appointment with a doctor. But now that I think at it I have been searching for years to get a doctor to help me. I am sorry about migranes. I am not feeling so hot still. My head is filled with pressure and I just found out my aide is terribly sick and her daughter has strep throat. Don't and hope I I won't catch that stuff. Tomorrow is time to put in another application. Also to visit other highrise to get an opinions. I am serious when I say sometimes i don't now if I will live. It would be pretty cold to live in a storage locker.lol.

Good Evening All,
I got that journal entry done. I want to thank you all for being who you are, special.
David.
