Who reads all these posts
|
| |
As I am sitting here marking posts I have skipped over as Read, I am wondering if there is anyone here that actually reads every post put up here. I also need to read only the first two, maybe three paragraphs of a post before I can not finish it unless it about me,of course. This is why I try to write short paragraphs and quick thoughts so others... more »

Stim Operaqtion

Just got home from the hospital. All went well the surgery. They said they were going to give me a local anesthesia but but what ever they used put me out worked well. Don't get me wrong, I was not looking for to being even semi-conscious during any part of it. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to get something to eat, I'm not into fasting.... more »

Gawds, Another Apology
|
| |
I can't even blame this one on pain, I got my prescriptions (not anything new or different as I was hoping for - what's the big deal about changing a med, *NOT* the strength, just the type of med for a while to see if it is any more effective since your body isn't used to it??!). Idiot PA prescribed the Lidoderm - *ONE* patch twelve hours on twelve hours... more »

OT: Let's see how old you are
|
| |
Now be honest - How many for these lines have you heard? I can tell you I have heard most of them. I used to get in trouble for taking my shoes off at school to go out to the play ground. What got me in trouble was forgetting to take them home. I wish I had never heard of castor oil. I wish I had a nickle for every bucket of water I had to draw from the... more »

Stopping my Anti-depressant, yikes!

Aloha All! As some (or most) of you know, I've been an "off again, on again" type of member/supporter/friend for pretty much the entire time I've been here. About the only times I've ever posted anything original is when I have a news article or something done by someone else that I think will benefit somebody. As far as I can remember I haven't really asked... more »

Do You Think This Will Work
|

Last Friday DH (Dear Husband or Dick Head, depending on my mood) and the counselor teamed up against me to try to make me start taking the Cymbalta/Lyrica combo (or at least, for just now, the Cymbalta). So... I went to the web site [link] and I printed out the "side effects" pages for Cymbalta, Lyrica, Oxycodone, and Fentanyl.... more »

The "Headache from Hell"
|
| |
My name for Occipital Neuralgia. I'd been fighting to abort it, as I could feel it coming on, but by Saturday I knew I wasn't going to win. Luckily my doctor has me keep a stash of cortocosteroids here, and I have Ambien, if needed, for sleep. And I can take a prescription NSAID, to also help with... more »
