- I quit smoking with a step down program that I downloaded for my smart phone. I really liked it MUCH better than quitting cold turkey and I it wasn't very hard to not smoke on day 0 (Quit smoking day!). I was quite happy with it.But then I was...
- I went to my next appt. I had to adamant about NOT getting anymore injections. After about a million "NO, I don't want anymore injections, the next one could kill me", the doctor finally got the idea that was serious and was totally cool with that....
- Ever since my epidural steroid injection in November of 2011, I have noticed that I have moments of foul body odor. It usually lasts for 2-10 minutes. I just stink up a funk storm and then I am fine. I thought this was rather weird. My friend...
- It was so easy to quit in 2006. Then I started smoking again two years later. It was the lamest reason (stress) and now I want to quit again but it has been really hard. I decided to get active in this group and really work at my goal!I was at a...
- So I went Monday for the Medial Branch Nerve Block Injection. The doctor said they would not be using steroids. I still signed the consent form under duress like I had planned. With my allergy history, I was really worried I would react to this shot...
- So my PM doc said he wanted to try a facet joint injection. I am not thrilled with all this "let's just mask the pain" mentality. I don't want the injections because I am so sensitive to meds. So, the nurse called to schedule the appt and said it...
- So... I posted about the epidural injection, the horrible burning and whatnot. I ended up going to the ER (I think I posted that). Anyway, now the doctor sent me to a urologist. They think my urinary issues are from the ESI. And NOW, I got to learn...
- It's been almost 4 weeks since my Epidural Steroid Injection. So far, I regret that choice to my very core. Besides the constant benadryl b/c of breaking out in rashes, my skin burning, etc... I have a few issues that aren't going away.My back is...
- Do doctors even listen? I go in there and I am like "I can't pee and my skin feels like someone is pouring acid on me." I told him I am allergic to everything under the sun, including the sun. I told him I was okie dokie before the epidural...
- I had an epidural injection on Monday. First, I have no idea what steroid they used. I didn't think to ask. Long story short, I went in for a consultation, work comp approved the treatment. Then they had an appointment set up for me which was cool...
- So... I had a hida scan years ago and my ejection fraction rate was 93%. The doc said that was too high and I have overactive gallbladder and he wanted to take it out. BUT, my insurance ended so he didn't since I can live with it. I changed my diet...
- I am really starting to feel the ups and downs again. I miss my friend that was murdered. There is no one here to share that with. No one knew her out here. No one knew who she was as a person, as a mom as a friend or a wife. So no one really knows...
- I have been told a few times that I should be tested for autism. Or told that I act autistic. So I sat down with my friend just now and wrote down my "quirks". Here is the list. Can you tell me what you think?1) I don't get hints.2) I don't get...
- I posted this elsewhere and they suggested I bring it here. So here is my post...I CANNOT eat soy or soy products... but I can have soy oil. The other soy stuff cause horrible horrible pain and makes me an emotional wreck. But mostly it is the pain...
- I hated only being able to choose one person I was grieving for since grieving is such a long process for me. So here is the list of people who haunt me and why I miss them so much.Brandon- My son. Born Mar 21, 1991 and died in my arms Mar 26, 1991....
