Hi all,
I saw my pain doc today, and while there he gave me a trigger point injection (in my scapula region...not sure of the exact terminology). I haven't had those done in years, but he thinks it will help with my nerve pain.
I also got a prescription for Lyrica, which I hope will help me (PLEASE!)....I've read people's posts on here about Lyrica and problems they've had. I'm hoping against hope that Lyrica will help me with my pain. My pain doc seems to think it will.
Just checking in and sharing what I've been going through today. I have a bunch of pain going on....and I'm so glad there's a group here of people that understand what it's like to live in constant pain!!!!
I do wish one thing though....that more people responded to individual posts....I posted recently and only one person acknowledged me. I was wondering why?
Gentle hugs to everyone,
Cathy

it is like having toothache all over my body - worst ever. Did way too much on sat night (dancing!) and now I am paying the price for having fun for a change!brain scan result was unclear so repeating it on 27th plus a spinal cord scan which unfortunately will delay my rheumatology appointment even more.I wish someone would just knock me out right now.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
Also, sorry about you not getting many responses. I know sometimes posts get knocked over to another page and get lost in with the games. Don't take it personally. I'm sure it just got lost in with other posts.
Take care,
Jessica

Sorry your previous post got overlooked, but good for you for posting again and not taking it personally!
Watch for weight gain and swelling hands and feet.
Best wishes,
