hope the pain can ease soon
after following up with my primary care about the rash that had spread all over my body, she prescribed me a new cream with a strong steroid. at least she didn't give me prednizone, right? the 1st day i put that stuff on it made it even itchier, but then it calmed down. 3-4 days later... wallahh! the rashes started disapearing! whoohoo! no more wakinup itchy anymore, no more squirming any more! the only thing is, i got little scars every where. and some of the rashes are still around, but hopefully they will continue to disapear. she said it's eczyma. ?? what causes that? where do you get it from? i guess i'll have to read it up. how many more diagnosis do i gotta add? bad enough i was recently dx w vericose veins. which btw, those compression stalkings are awesome! they help so much!! lets see... i got a rheumatology follow up today... it's for the cymbalta switch i just did. hopefully he ups my dosage to 60mg. cuz this 30mg isn't doin it. my aches and pains have NOT gone down since i got off the effexor. muscle pain everywhere (more than usual) and shooting stabbing pain. it was so bad the other day, that i was screaming cuss words at random times, and Matthew was wondering if i had got a sudden case of turretts. lol. i just laid on the couch all day and put in "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins" ...hey i felt like shit, but at least i was laughin, right? the other thing bothering me lately is my sleep. my sleep has been so screwed up! on days when i have to get up for an appt or something, i can't seem to wake up. then on days where i can sleep in, i can't sleep in! end up tossing and turning. the other night i woke up around 0200 with horrible muscle pain in my legs and arthritic pain in my hips and lower back. i swear i felt a storm coming on... sure enough, it started raining, i could here it through the windows. the pain kept me awake for like 2 hrs. that really sucked. well... hopefully after this follow up i get a better dosage and HOPEFULLY it helps. pain sucks! thanks for reading my journal... and thanks for being such awesome friends! God bless you all!

Hey, girl! I know how you feel about the sleep and pain. My sleep schedule is so messed up it isn\'t even funny. As far as the pain, I can say right now that the combination of the Lyrica, Ultram ER, and Lodeine with Prozac seem to be cutting it. Although, there are times that absolutely nothing makes it better. Those days I just try to suck it up, but it gets harder and harder because they tend to come more and more. As far as eczema, it\'s just dry skin and anybody can have it. I get it too. It\'s nothing extremely serious, it just kind of comes and goes at its own will. Well, I have given you my wisdom for the day. Hope it helps. Hugs to you.
these weather changes seem to be making my body very confused...the heat in here was horrid so we had the air conditioner turned on....ahhh, nice and cool. yep, now my shoulders ache from the over-head cool air...it is a rest and take is slow day for me, friend. take care and feel better mary
Hello finally! I haven\'t been feeling well so I\'ve been away from the group...thank you for thinking of me and leaving the hug, much needed. I have a Dr. app this afternoon. Something is not right with my central nervous system, possible MS. I will try to update everyone in Calming Waters and thanks again..
I have the same exact issues with sleep, sucks don\'t it? Just haven\'t been feeling myself most of the time and have also been busy with work. That job is a pita, it\'s either all or nothing, but at least my back has been better for now. Went for an MRI a couple of days ago, will see if doc finds out anything. It has been noted that I have disc disease, wtf is that? Weather ups and downs don\'t help either. Hang in there and feel better soon!
Beleive me, I know about the pain. At least you are on a tropical island. LOL. It was only 55 degrees today but will be 70 tomorrow. Take care.
