[sandee1818]

How is everyone doing? I hope all is well with everyone. Can I get anyone a tall latte?

[gmama61]

hi it's me gmama61, it's 1:57am pst I'm up don't know what else to do anyone else up? It's the chronic pain, and worry from the Cancer and the M/S. no one seems to understand except my husband, because he is the only one here 24/7 with me. I am strong, I know I will beat all of this. My faith keep me going. Just thought I check to see if anyone else was up. Let me know, Gretchen

[gmama61]

Ok, I'm up, it's 2:12am pst I've had a bad day. The cancer has spread, now ovarian, uterine, and cervical I feel numb. Can anyone relate? My husband has to have surgery on his hand as soon as we get ok form Workers Comp. (Injury at work ), more than likely he won't beable to go back to his regular profession. I'm tire, going to get some sleep, I hope. Good nite to all and don't let the bed bugs bite.lol. my latte didn't work. lol

Yep, I'm up, and in pain. I have felt bad all day. Horrible nightmares last night, and they have emotionally upset me all day. Which everyone knows, stress makes the pain worse. I've been having physical therapy for three weeks now, and it's making everything worse not better. All of my back muscles are in constant spasm. He's been using a ultra-sound wand, that also has electric current running through it. Makes the muscles jump. Then tapes me up putting constant pull on my shoulders, neck, and upper back. What fun! And the deep tissue massage...when he hits sore spots has actually made me cry. Supposed to get rid of the toxins...........yeah, right. Who thinks up these things. It's almost 3:00am, so I better try to get some sleep, so I can get up and go back to the physical therapy. Life is just such fun. And he hasn't even tried to do anything for the diabetic neuropathy in my legs and feet. Hurt so bad can't hardly walk sometimes. It's amazing that so many of us manage to work, have a house and family. Think what we could do if we weren't so pain challeneged! Take care all. Good night.

Is everyone sleeping tonight???? Not me. I'd love a grande latte, no flavor please.

I guess I'm not welcome here.

[MJIthewriter]

I wish LW could tell me yes, no if we still are friends... I wish she could keep in touch with me through email if she's not going to be on medhelp.

I guess I'll keep her in my prayers anyway. Sorry that no matter what I say I'm sticking my foot in my mouth...  I guess I'm out of here... Sorry to bother everyone here.

[MJIthewriter]

I make up my own definitions of words... Ouchy to me means being upset and snappy on top of whatever else is gong on...

Sorry that no matter what I say or do it's going to backfire... Maybe I should just leave the site...

Anyways here's another hug from MN...

[dominosarah]

Just know that some of us know your feelings of devastation with your child and pets.  "ouchy" is when your child comes in way past curfew or your pet chews up your favorite pair of shoes.  I hope the doc will find some answers for your health issues.

Sending you a big hug Minnesota style from me, the beagle and last but not least S.  sara

[lonewolf07]

If losing contact with my estranged daughter and not knowing anything - like is she still alive, watching my cat die, have one of my dogs sick and concern for my own health means I'm in an "ouchy mood" what would it take for me to legitimately feel bad?

[Tuckamore]

I don't know if anyone answered your question. CP is widely know on this forum as Chronic Pain. I can attest to the fact that it is the dirtiest word in the English Language!!
Sorry I missed last night. Had my SI put back in place and after the pain med injections
I slept for 10 hours. Praise the Lord! Tuck

[MJIthewriter]

I mean I hope she's not serious when she said she no longer wants me to send any messages to her.

[MJIthewriter]

Thanks. I'm friends with Lonewolf07, but she's in an ouchy mood because of her daugher, cat, etc..

She told me not to send her any more messages and that I have other friends on medhelp...  I hope she feels better later and I hope she wasn't serious about that message. At least I hope not anyway...

I'll be off to work and hope to get sleep after work. My nose kept plugged up until finally around 6/7 am, I broke down and asked my grandma if she had some nasal spray.

Now my nasal pssages feel sore but at least I got a couple hours sleep...

[cowboy20022002]

it be ok

[MJIthewriter]

I can't sleep...too many things on my mind. Allergies again... I tend to feel every bit of dust on my face and cat hair. They seem to make their way up my nose and my eyes.

I checked my medhelp messages and a bit bummed what message I got, but I understand the person is hurting... I hope by morning they will feel better. Life can be so rough sometimes...

Hiya.  If you'd like to delve into this topic further for further insight, pm me.

[jollyman069]

[jollyman069]

here it is 5;32 am wide awake in pain as usual. i did sleep about three hrs, but i guess enough percoset  and just plain exhaustion will do tht for u, sad part is i get up get a glass of water and take a pill . pretty sad life for a 47 yr old who use to wrk 6 days a week.  but such is life. one thing i found out is tv sucxks as much at night as in the day.

[lonewolf07]

I'll keep it clean  = )

Just had a very, very bad day.  A mother killed her child in FL and my estranged daughter thinks I was a bad mother because .... well, I don't really know why. I don't know where she is or anything right now.  Can imagine getting angry at a child but murder .... I can't even kill a spider.

Jollyman - so very sorry to hear about your loss.  We're having an election in Canada too.  Don't even go there  = P

What is CP - is it cerebral palsy?

[Spright1]

No, I haven't!  I wonder if they have them here? I'll have to check!

My fiance has been learning from reading up on it on the net and from posts on this forum etc- it really helps when he can see others saying basically the same thing that I have been saying- it helps it 'sink in' for him, as well as letting others who are in CP  know we aren't alone.

That in itself is a big help.  :)

I'll mention it to him and see if it's on the insurance! maybe He can get in at least for now and help him to 'deal' better! It is something that can be hard on everyone around you as well, like any illness.

Thank you!

[sandee1818]

have you ever heard of a pain psychologist? They are really great and understand how painteffects every aspect of our lives and they help you deal with it. I was seeing one and he was a godsend! He helped me and my husband too! Myhusband now understands the pain I am in and how it effects me.

[Spright1]

Hi all, passed out earlier from pain and stress, had a terrible dream due to the stress and find myself far from sleepy at this point.

Thanks for the laugh with the puking on the cop- I once had one try to stop me for driving 16 mph in a 15 mph school zone (there were a lot of jerks who used to Really speed so they were called out and ppl dopped to a nice safe crawl) but I had Bad food poisening, and Needed a Bathroom! I said "just write me a ticket fast!!!" He wanted to yell at me for going a mile over though  (I would ***Never*** endanger any child- there weren't even any kids out anymore and I was keeping a Very keen eye, but unlike an astronaut I have heard of, I was not wearing a diaper!!!!) I think he was bored since no-one was speeding at all, and since they were going 10 cause he was there, I suppose I Looked like I was going fast!

I kept saying "I Need to get to  a Bathroom!!!" and finally I threw my drivers license at him, yelled "Write the ticket and Mail it to me!" and drove home- I was about out of my mind at that point! I've never done anything like that in my Life!

I sent my mother back to get my license and appologize to the officer (I was lying on the bathroom floor at that point), and he was So freaked out that I had done that (I was very polite, but I was scared I was gonna poop my pants and/or pass out!!!) that he asked my mom how I was, gave back the license, and asked her if I needed an ambulance. *Whew*!  
I didn't, thank goodness, but I was napping on the bathroom floor on and off for a while with that one!  maybe I just shoulda puked on him....lol

Spritual and emotional pain can be just as bad and sometimes worse than physical pain- ask anyone who has had both. As was said- "Pain is pain". sometimes emotional pain can Cause physical pain!

I wish there was a full comprehesive treatment that CP patients could recieve like cancer patients do- People to help with the grieving and the emotional pain as well as the physical aspects.... support as opposed to the way a lot of us seem to be be looked down on- I think CP is harder for the GP to understand since often there isn't as much to See, and it isn't as understood as something like cancer (my prayers to any who do have it, and no disrespect at ll, just using it as a for instance)- people are more likely to just say- "Bite the bullet- it's  just pain, you can do it!" and it isn't that way.
I Wish I could take meds and be able to walk or live normally, yet I also feel blessed that I Do have my limbs, no matter if they aren't working and hurt all the time. I look ok- how can anyone who hasn't Felt pain, real, long, ongoing pain with no end in sight- how can they tell by looking at me? Ok....Pity party over for now.

Soapbox anyone?   :)

[jollyman069]

My slepp patternes are all screwed up from diaylsis  and the chronic pain. and it ***** i have no idea what it is like to be able to sleep like from 11pm to 7am .hasnt happened in years though sp guess we learn to love with it

[jollyman069]

i cant understand with all the forensic effidence they have why she has been charged with murder

[MJIthewriter]

I was kept awake last night by an annoying truck... It was doing something to the sewer all day from the morning up to 3:30-4am this morning...

Then after that, the workers came to set up the concrete foundation of my next door neighbor's new garage... So more pounding.... Not to mention I have allergies and my nose plugs up.  Yeah I was awake, but then again I seem to always be awake at night, not always to pain or allergies but because I feel the most energetic...
