I am sorry, I have few words today. Just stopping in to say you are all on my mind!

My mother (lives with us) fell down the stairs. Injured her knee, sprained her ankle and broke 3 toes. She is very frustrated as she was just cleared to return to pool exercise class and now this.

I am having a lot of fibromyalgia. Have not slept well for a few nights, which makes it all worse, as you know.

I hope everyone has a decent weekend!

Thanks so much, Gus!

I have had PTSD triggered big time this week and cannot sleep. The whole ball of wax is stressful right now.

Hey everyone

I "think" the Enbrel "might" be helping a tiny bit..

I have been eating very healthy and the weight just doesnt want to fall off ( age and psych meds I assume)

So I got good and pissed off and have been hiking usually 3 miles a day... I hurt , oh yes I hurt but I think its helping to get myself moving..

I do notice when I wake up in the am and get up I dont hear as many crunches and pops .. Maybe the med? or maybe because I am off my big butt.. I dunno

I see Rheumatologist the 3rd for a follow up .. Thus far not a single side effect from Enbrel so that makes me happy.

Sorry I am not around here much but I think of you all often and hope you have good days

[Gus1234U]

well done, Christina~!! walk your troubles away~

[Gus1234U]

so much of how the world looks, depends on how we look at it~

I was told years ago, that this was what I had, but I am not so sure. I an always in pain, but mostly first thing in the morning. I an going to have my reg Doc. send me to a rhumatoligist.

Folks, please keep me in your thoughts today. I have to drive to our corporate office so they can fingerprint me for a renewal of my background check. That's not what I need good thoughts for. My background check is going to be incredibly boring!

Corporate office is a two hour drive from my house. Long drives absolutely kill my fibro. I'm already having a rotten flare (bad enough I would call in if did not have this danged appointment) I'm going to be in serious pain when I get home this afternoon.

On top of the flare Ollie, one of the cats, is making frequent trips to the litter box, but not producing much pee. That can be a sign of a UTI or a blockage.

Sorry for being a whiny Debbie Downer. Life sucks today.

[Gus1234U]

may your spirit be light~!

You got it, Liz!!

[Kiya]

Do any of you take low dose naltrexone? That is my next step

Liz I hear you. Long rides in the car or a plane kill me. When we fly to Florida I am down for at least 2 days when we get there. Once we get to our hotel I get food change eat meds then right to bed.

Take care Liz

Well my daughter has court tomorrow so it's going to be a long day. After there I have to drop her off then my brother in law off then depending on time the next stop is the pharmacy then the lab if I am running short on time it's the lab then pharmacy then pick up something for dinner then home then change, meds, eat and then bed.

The lab is checking me for a bacterial infection. I have one already and I am on strong antibiotics but my rhemy has 3 lupus patients in the hospital with this infection and they are in the hospital for at least 6 weeks. If the oral antibiotics don't work then inhave to be admitted for a minimum of 6 weeks. It may be longer for me since the other 3 lupus patients already in the hospital do not have the heart and lung issues I have. So lord it's going to be a long few weeks.

Take care everyone

Sending hugs and positive vibes

[Gus1234U]

i truly hope you can stay out of the hospital, Cake~!! (they scare the carp out of me~! )

my little lilac buds are struggling to survive,, it snowed and froze again last nite~! on a happier note, the little raccoon rang my doorbell again last nite, well early this morning, about 3:30 a.m.,,, there was no food, and she appeared to be alone, but she was not afraid of me...

[Gus1234U]

(of course i fed her~! and the little miniature skunk mom didn't even leave the porch when i checked on her~ )

[Wild Coyote]

Wow, Gus!
I think you must live in "heaven" or "nirvana," with all of this wildlife around you!


WC

[Gus1234U]

in a way, i do, WC... but i would not have to be feeding them if we had not 'developed' their natural habitat... i have seen deer and ground hogs, too, but the loose dogs make it hazardous for the larger creatures, and the cats have pretty much cleaned out the smaller life... when i first moved here, 23 yrs ago, we had an owl, bats, rabbits, coyotes and even frogs~! now it's mostly grasshoppers i feel like i'm living in the end of times.....

[~Christina]

Since I got back for a 9 month stay in Florida .. There so many people stripping there land of hard wood.. It always looks for horrid for years .. Its making a huge decrease in natural land for deer etc..

Someone about a mile away is doing it Im guessing people just need the money the hard woods pay...

I cry everytime I see a logging truck, They knock everything down and just leave piles of broken trees

[childofchaos831]

My pain doc office added lyrica 150mg prn to the gralise (gabapentin extended release). Just wanted to see how y'alls experience with lyrica is/was... I can take it 2x a day as needed and take 1800mg of the gralise st night.

[cakeladie]

Christina that is so sad. I wish we had land with lots of trees but living in the Bay Area your neighbors are within spitting distance
