Dearest Barbara, I had a heck of a time finding this post leading to an update of your status, but I did and I'm here now. I hear the frustration in your writing, Barbara. I know you are sick and...
I have been foggy for the longest time now. I forget what I was going to do going from one room to the next, heck, I turn around in a room and I forget what I was about to do!! I don't drive anymore....
I really feel for you. I am 62 year old female with quite a back history as well. My back surgery occurred when I was 33 also. I was an RN at the time working in ICU and I had a hard time working. I...

I absolutely love this thread. I do cook for my family and my granddaughters and hubby who all seem to love my cooking. I don't like to cook because around 4 or 5 pm I am hurting pretty badly. But I...
Barb, Sorry you are feeling so punky. I know how that goes, although I cannot compare my pain or status to yours, dear friend. I called you earlier this week after I missed your call. I will try...
Excellent news, David! You deserve every penny, in my opinion. My husband was in the Air Force during the Viet Nam war and he was stationed overseas in England. For that reason, we were able to get...
Susie-Straydog, I had sinus infections for years. I went round and round with antibiotics, only to have a return of the infection again six weeks later. I finally went to an infection control...
WB-- That is just the reason I wrote you an email last week, to find out how you were doing lately. I check on here and in some other forums, like Lupus, for Barbara Lee, but all in all, I try to...

Great job, Sherrie. You soooooo deserve that pat on the back. I can relate to that feeling of every single bone in the body hurting. I have fibro too and it sneaks up on ya. Like Barb says, rest up...
I nominated Peter for the award as well. Peter, you are awesome! Despite your full time life, you find time for the management and spirit giving to the Healing Well Site. We think you are awesome!...
Have a wonderful trip, Dave! I am jealous. Went on one cruise before and it was a very old ship and the whole thing was just weird, but I would love to go on another one. My hubby doesn't want to go...
I get stabbing pains in my feet sometimes. The only thing that helps is taking my pain med. Oh, also I make sure I take my Lyrica, which is at a high doseage now too. And, as a last resort, I will...
HA! I don't blame you one bit, Yvette. You, apparently are one of those rare individuals who are highly allergic to the shot. Don't do that to your body is right. Also, if you were to get another...
I'm sorry you have been experiencing mistakes over the years. It's a real shame and I wonder how things will be affected when the new healthcare system goes into full swing. I have had my share of...
My husband and I talk about how we feel daily. I try not to complain too too much, but I don't keep it inside when I'm really hurting. We take care of each other. We stay in our respective recliners,...
Mark, Please know that I have prayed earnestly for you wife's uncle Pat and the rest of the family. I have asked the Dr.s to be able to treat the cancer effectively and to keep him comfortable. I,...

I have been getting the flu shots every year, so this year I said, "sure", when they asked me. Well! I got a sore, sore arm and achiness all over my body for over a week. Another friend of mine who...
Mrs.Bugsy, I like your idea of having the virtual vacation (elephants again, please). I was just thinking how much fun those were. Please let's do that again!! As for my purse, I rarely leave it...
Barb, Hang in there, girlfriend. Keep an eye on signs and symptoms of infection; remember the steroids can mask an infection. Keep your spirits up. Bill will be back to work soon and the government...

I don't know the answer to your question, as you never indicated what medication trial you were undergoing, but I can't believe you had two myelograms with no ill effects. That's great!!! I had two...
Hi Cinderwinder, Welcome to the Healing Well site, Chronic Pain Forum. Glad you posted your question. I, too, thought of Chostochondritis when I first read your post. But I'm also glad you had...
Hello Fellow CPer's: I had a quiet weekend watching football and spending time with the hubby. I had pain in the feet and legs that nothing seemed to help. Oh well, this too shall pass. This week...
I agree with Alcie. She has given you some great advice. Do take your surgery and your healing seriously, but investigate everything to see if it is possible for you to go. Any friends up for making...

You can also put your feelings in writing instead of trying a face to face discussion. Here, you can and should, take out the emotion and deal with just the facts, like the others have suggested. I...
I was lucky and caught her in a comfortable moment. We chatted about the surgery and her health in general and she seemed in such good spirits. I even commented on that. Her voice was clear and...
First of all, how many mgs. of Lyrica did you start out with. You may have started out on a higher dose than needed. It does have vision side effects, I remember. I had them for about a week and...
So sorry to hear about your neuropathy problems. I too have it bad in both my feet and legs, but lately, it is mostly in both of my feet. I have been on Lyrica for over five years and it helps...

Hi I have been on 200 mg of Lyrica, twice a day, for years now and I have always thought it had contributed to my fogginess and general difficulty in thinking. Now, after reading several of your...
I have been having lots of pain in my legs and feet. The pain pills only help a bit. The weather has been rainy, doesn't help much. I am taking ibuprofen and lyrica as well as the oxycodone. Tough...
Hey Barbara, Sorry it's been a while since we have spoken. Things are very tricky for you, I see and the pain is really up there. To just say that I am sorry sounds so trite, that I'm not going to...
Barbara, you have me, day or night. Don't forget I am here for you. Anytime. Linda...
