- My oldest son and his wonderful wife want to help me get my financial situation on paper. Then we can come up with a plan for what I need to live...without moving out of my house. This isn't a good time to sell and I really don't want to move,...

- Sometimes it's family members who cause the most stress. My clients have all been so understanding about my not being able to work. I haven't notified all of them, yet, but I expect the same concern and well wishes from the rest. They have...

- I managed to get myself to voc rehab this morning, but my pain is so bad that they kindly did a quick interview and I didn't stay for the orientation. From seeing me, they agreed that getting disability rolling is the first order of business. They...
- I started with a Fentanyl patch about 36 hours ago and not only do I still have as much pain as before, I'm not able to sleep much. I'm wondering if anyone else has found that to be a problem or is it just my pain...the full moon...or God knows...
- I saw my doc yesterday and she said to stop working...NOW. I started on a patch for pain, but my pain level is off the charts today. I have breakthrough meds, but how can that possibly help if the first thing didn't even give me a moment's relief?...
- My doc prescribed a pain patch today and my insurance actually let me have it. Problem is, I put it on almost 3 hours ago and I'm feeling awful and have new pains! I guess I need to know what normal and what isn't.Not sure what to do,Cherry
- Well, this is the day. I have my regular doc appt. and I'm prepared this time. She WILL hear me. I'm tired of her half assed attempts to get me on meds to relieve this worsening pain.I will explain to her tht I'm trying to follow her advice and...
- Well, I'm seeing my doctor Monday. It's my regular four week check in so I can get a refill on my scripts. So far, nothing she's prescribed has helped and my condition is worsening rapidly.She's been telling me that I need to stop the kind of work...
- I seem to be developing new and different pain to add to my probles. I'm not sure what to think and I doubt my doc will pay attention. I tried to get he to address my shoulder pain for months before she sent me to a specialist to check it out. I...
- It's been a picture perfect day in Northern part of Vermont. We've had so many bad storms and several inches of rain this Spring. Lots of flood and wind damage has really made a mess of some towns, but I was spared.Rain is predicted for the next...
- I couldn't stand the pain and nothing was working so I added a 300mg. gabapentin to my already medicated body. The doc reminds me that I have them and they work differently than my other meds so...it was one of those days.Now, I'm so dizzy and...
- I struggled through a couple of intense hours of work and now my pain is out of control. I don't see any way to be productive this afternoon and I NEED to. How can I tackle the enormous task of decluttering my house to prepare for my exit??? ...
