Yeah, bad posture & too much bending at work have caused a disc to become irritated. The arthritis is bad though. I get IBD arthritis on top of Osteoarthritis. Well no one said growing old would be...
Looked like a combo bruise\scrape at first. Then got blisters in them. It actually looked like Leprosy at first, except that is painless. Or becomes painless, the books & entries in Merck Manual &...
Well, skin is sloughing off those purplish areas. Not sure what to make of them, but it sure doesn't look like anything good. Hmm, I saw where some thought I meant I had been doing well the whole...
Well they were for a couple years. Reason I drifted away aside from some of my close friends leaving. I had another kidney stone attack last summer. Now this, so I cannot say I am doing well. Looks...
53 years old here. With no sense of humor, I would have died a long time ago with CD. Used to be known as the kidney stone king here.. Matthew...
Long time, no see. Sorry but I've been doing really quite well overall. But suddenly I have two purple areas that I first thought were bruises or scrapes. When I looked closer at them I noticed they...
Well, I just came over to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and look who I bump into! Two of my two favorite people here. Been awhile. Yeah, yeah, I know, I keep slipping in my promised attendence,...
We are NEVER going to "Solve" the problems on Earth, this tired old saw needs to be retired. Its a lame excuse to spend the money on other things. Too bad, money is not going to solve population...
I wish we could hear from James, but by now his power would be out anyway. I do not remember exactly where he lives, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the eye of Issac is right above him. NO seems...
No, And its him I am thinking most about right now. But I also have a good friend ( girl I dated (sort of)in my LSU days) in New Orleans right now. I know there are other members here also, on the...
Title says it ALL. Its that time again & Nawlins is dead center in a (potential at the moment)hurricane's sights. We will just have to wait & see how the new defenses stand up. Time to hunker...
This was the first med I took for my IBD. It was also the first I had to drop PDQ! Too many side-eefects. For some reason, the sulfa content made me have adverse reactions. I did find an effective 5...
Its better to go to the ER than sit & suffer. I speak from experience, since I had several summer's of kidneystones from my CD. There are so many blasted possible complications that its very...
Oh, also other meds like anti-cholonergics can cause this. My usual pain med, Ultram also seems to make urinating a bit difficult. Hard to start & hold a steady stream. Not always, but enough to...
I am, once again, in the opposite corner of this. I cannot keep my weight up! I have gone down from an all time record (for me) of 154lbs, to 132. I do not like it, though the unsightly love handles...
