I take mine in the am, I usually have to get up a couple times during the night so I take it then. I used to take it when I got up but then waiting for an hour before I could have a cup of coffee...
Hi there, sorry you are going through so much pain and so many tests. I hope for your sake they figure things out, being in constant pain just sucks....
Jennie I feel so bad for you, being in pain just sucks. I had a very hard with my doctor and the other doctors he referred me to because they did not believe the pain I was in. Keep up trying to get...
Susie I pray your brother continues to improve and also for you. Take care...
Sherry I understand your frustration, my daughter can only take Tylenol as well, anything else she is allergic to. She has had 2 surgeries in the past 5 years and I watched her in so much pain, I...
Sounds like you have done some research there. I wish you the best....
It's just my opinion but I think your doctor is not thinking of what is best for you. I have been on oxy for a few years now and during this time my doctor has just not filled my prescription for a...
I'm sorry you are enduring thrush so often. Do you see your doctor about it? I have had thrush a couple times in the past year and anti-bionics to get rid of but 2 different ones. I also rinse my...
I am so sorry you have such extreme pain. I hope your doctors figure it out so you do not need to take medications to feel better. Take care...
It's amazing the things we learn about on HW. I have been on targin for a few years, I find it extremely expensive here but as a long acting pain medication it worked better for me than the others....
Thx for the welcome back, I had some nerve blocking that worked quite well but unfortunately the pain has returned in RUQ. I see my pain doc on Monday which will be a quick 5 minutes as usual. Enough...
I did not forget you all I just needed a break I guess. There have been a few changes in my world but that's for a later post. I have never forgotten the support from the members on HW and I am so...
Debbie I am so sorry, sometimes sharing your burdens helps and I hope this is one of those times. With so much on your mind do not forget to take good care of yourself....
Debbie I am so sorry about your news. I don't come online often anymore but I had to sign in to give you a (((hug))). I know your heart is hurting just try to look after you as well....
Try to stay strong in your battle to receive disability. It took me almost 5 years and I am in Canada, I even saw a lawyer who I did not hire because he was too negative. My hubby finally came to my...
Good for you Lisa, I had my 2 yr anniversary on Dec 26. I do have copd and seeing a respiratory specialist next week. Keep strong, you can do it ....
Hi tyalexa, Mould? Well I have never been tested for that. I am having respiratory testing done next week. My breathing issues are back but because I was a smoker for too many years copd, emphysema...
Hi Matt, darn shame the drs appt hurt so much. Sounds like your dr is doing a fine job. Physio either hurt or helped me I never knew how my body would hande it....
I take sleeping pill zopliclone but it lately is not doing what it used to, my sleep pattern sounds a lot like yours actually. My hubby takes melatonin but not every night, I have tried it for me it...
I am so sorry you are in so much pain. I have a long history of back pain maybe one of my old standbys will help. I use my heating pad a lot but sometimes I lie on the floor and put my legs up onto...
Hi Tara, sorry you are going through so much. I strongly suggest you go to service Canada as depending what province you are in they would have different options. Students are sometimes covered by...
David so nice of you to update us on your wife's recovery and your progress as well. I'm glad your wife's surgery appears to be a success, and that you gaining a few pounds, I agree about the reason...

You are a good sister, even the simplest things become huge if there is no organization....
Debbie I have not been on much have been having loads of back pain again but have also had my ingrown toenails removed fo 2 weeks I have been soaking and bandaging my big toes. I walk weird because I...
Debbie I am so sorry you are having more pain. Since we both had surgeries around the same time I look for your posts just to be nosey see how you are doing :). I hope the pain does not come back...
Mackster I know dealing with our pain is rough at times and we start relying on our spouses even more but when they get sick it is so much worse. My hubby was in an industrial accident over 20 years...
David I'm sorry I have not been very supportive as of late, but I am so happy for you and your wife. Day surgery omg what are they thinking, I hope she listens to the restrictions. I hope everything...
Hi Mackster, just popping in to say I feel bad for your wife. Dental pain omg no ideas how to help but as a fellow Canadian I know financially a root canal can set a person back a couple thousand, I...
Hi Jane, I hope the worst is over and you are now on the road to recovery. My thoughts are with you....
I saw doctor yesterday my tsh was 20. So he increased my dosage yo 0.100 of synthroid....
Still hobbling but being extremely careful not to get infection. I did not realize how much I use my big toes....
Just thought I would share my reminder my doctor gave me. I am prone to ingrown toe nails, have had them over 30 years. My hubby usually trims my nails and cuts out the ingrown but a year ago he told...
The wording for CPPD is the catch they gat to decide if you are capable of working. I had to go through review tribunal 2 times each one over 6 months apart. I hope you are prepared for what could be...
Yes Jim it can be very challenging but not for everyone. I know people who receive it for ADHD, and heard abut a woman that was too obese to work so she got CPPD....
LC! No never tried to type with a splint on my fingers but so far am able to look after my own fingernails. It's the toenails I have a problem with due to my back. It takes me about 15 minutes to put...
Hi I did not see you post here but saw the one in the chronic pain forum. It took me 4 years to finally get approved. How long have you been at them? Do you have doctors behind you? They have their...
I agree with stingray, I am as well on CPPD and it took over 4 years for me to get approved. Also you should now not everyone gets the same amount that is all determined by them and their...
David I am glad you are finally getting answers and hopefully results. I am sure with both of you that she will be following doctors orders and not over doing things while she is recovering....
David just letting you know i am thinking of you both, take care....
Ingrown toe nails are so painful. I have personal experience as well and strongly suggest seeing podiatrist. I had a pedicure a couple years ago and the nail tech told me he was not allowed to do the...
Everyone is different some people can take Lyrica some not. I am a not, tried it and it was not for me....
David I am happy for you both that she got the MRI and problem now is diagnosed. For me nothing is worse than having undiagnosed pain. Matt and Betsey know the ins and outs of wcb, so they can help...
Had the blood test today so in a couple of days my doctor will have report but he does not work Fridays so I will make an apt for Monday. I was so upset yesterday when I went in for test the...
I think it's wrong for the office manager to be deciding you will be too much work for the doctor. I know you must have been pretty excited to get a line on a Dr that not only believes in FM, but...
Amazing isn't it, it's like everything else just do not exist. I guess this is a good thing bad thing good you got LTD but bad the amount is going to be better than nothing but not by much. I know...
