- Yesterday evening I was in a really funky mood. I was angry regarding my work situation, or more so the fact that the company has no respect for it's staff per a "leader: and I use the term leader lightly. I realized that I need to let go of any...
- Every morning when I wake, I have a conversation with God. I know many consider it praying, but I prefer to think of it as a conversation. I am unable to get down on my knees, but I don't feel that is necessary. I feel that I can talk with Him no...
- My daughter is always telling me to sit down and not do this or that because she thinks that I am going to break. I had to have a older mom and adult daughter conversation with her this yesterday. I had to reassure her that I am going to be okay...
- I was given Novolog for my diabetes when I got out of the hospital to cover the elevation caused by the Prednisone and last night was reading about the side effects online and was surprised to find out that one of them was swelling of the feet.I am...
- Does anyone take Gabapentin? I wasn't experiencing any numbness, just a little tingling at times in the toes of my left foot, but when I was in the hospital for a muscle biopsy my doctor put me on Gabapentin and my new doctor elevated my dosage...
- I was in so much pain yesterday and my feet were swollen again. After work I slept for a few hours off and on because I felt just miserable. I started back on my Cellcept and hope that wasn't the cause of my sickness. I just felt overall lousy,...
- Lately my legs are stiffer than normal. It takes me forever to sit up once I have laid down and I have to throw my legs out straight. I don't understand why this is happening, since it is my thighs that are hurting. My legs are as stffl as...
- I know that this may seem strange, but as I have said before I have been noticing slight changes since being diagnosed with PM.I have had memory loss since my biopsy and figure that it is due to being put under. I even talked with my doctor about...
- Yesterday I didn't have to take pain medication at all and thought that I wouldn't need it today, but about an hour or so ago my thighs started demanding a couple Aleve and I had to give in. I did less today then I did yesterday, so of course I...
- I think that I did it a little too much on Tuesday. I was so excited that I could walk without my walker that I walked through Target to get my Rxs and then went to the laundry with my daughter and even took the trash bags down to the dumpster. I...
- I am noticing some new things recently. The pain that I was feeling in the front of my legs, near my knees is barely noticeable and I am also needing less pain medication. I was on Percocet for the first 2 weeks after returning home from the...
- The antibiotics must have done their magic. I no longer have the metallic taste in my mouth and can now taste food. I wonder if that is why I am always hungry. Before I could barely swallow and didn't have the desire to eat, now I want to eat...
- That awful metallic taste has gone away now that I have completed the antibiotics. I wonder if that has anything to do with my always being hungry now that I can taste food. I had such a difficult time swallowing that it took away my desire to...
- The swelling in my feet had gone down pretty much to normal, but left the skin a little shagging, which I felt was strange considering it was only swollen for a few days. My doctor had put me on something like lasix for 10 days. They never went...
- I am testing my fingers multiple times a day as well as always washing my hands. Does anyone know of an good inexpensive lotion or hand cream that is good at putting the moisture but in my hands? They feel like dry sandpaper. I have tried olive...
