Aw Joyce that just sucks. Take dear sons dr. lic. away, before someone kills him.

We never stop worrying about our children.

(((((Joyce)))))

Nappy so sorry to hear of yr DS & DDIL's accident. Prayers for quick healing...

The bruises and sprains will heal.
Be grateful; as with all vehicle roll-overs, there is quite a potential for more serious injuries...or worse.

Prayers for a speedy and full recovery.

With love, Erika

good news,
my latest labs show almost normal kidney function. coming off the metformin has turned things around. my dr felt it was the metformin that was the culprit.

we're trying 1 more med combo before insulin. hope it works.
my BP is good. my wt is maintaining. no loss-no gain. guess that's something.

i hope anyone that is struggling will be doing better.

Buzzing and numbness in the hands ongoing...sure wish that the numbness would travel upward and relieve the stinker of a pressure headache that has been present for the last 4 days. Really giving consideration to sticking my head in the snow for a while to see if that helps...if only to relieve the feeling of the eyes trying to meet in the middle.

Otherwise, laughing at the oddest of things; probably due to fatigue as sleep seems to have become a passé concept.
Good thing that I'm home alone or someone might feel the need to drop a net over this body and deliver it to somewhere not so pleasant .

I'm fine..really. Just whining .

With love, Erika

Spasticity at all time high in back and legs. Can barely get out of bed or onto the toilet. When my husband was like this they took him to the hospital and he died. So I'm taking it easy as I can. I feel victory when I am able to actually stand up and reach for a box containing a supplement. I too lost another tooth on Thursday, maybe due to dry mouth and meds. But the spasticity was increasing before that, got worse yesterday and today.
A woman from church drove me to the dental surgeon, I was still able to walk in and out of the office at that time. I will have to go to vote on a walker as I did in 2008, just before my husband's final weeks. I want to vote for the local candidates and issues, will not vote on the national.
At least we have some entertainment on TV these days--starving and freezing people on Staten Island to watch. Reality TV.

I hear your whine, Erika..

I hope your spasticity finds relief soon, Mariel.

Spasticity got less after I took demerol (I hate to do that). I guess I just didn't feel it any more. I was able to walk and went to vote, although the numbness in my feet made me feel like I was walking in galoshes (old fashioned rain boots, in case anyone is too young to remember galoshes).
I listened to the program about Romney's life on CNN and was of course fascinated with Ann and her MS diagnosis period. She struggled for a few years and then, implied by the interviewer, she "got it under control". But they didn't say how. Some of us might be interested?

Somewhere I read that Ann Romney's MS has been in remission for many years. Sorry I can't come up with the source for that just now.

My hands are getting less mobile these days, and that could be arthritis instead of MS. My jaw has developed an odd habit of falling open and staying open. This must look very strange, and I have no idea why it's happening except that maybe it's some kind of spasm.

I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else has anything like that going on.

I'm sorry Joan. I have sinus problems, so nose is stuffy most of the time, so mouth hangs open...just like that. Could that be your reason?

I use sinex spray to upen my nose and close my mouth. I have to think about it too...habit. Dry mouth is a result and that's bad for your teeth.

I hope it's something you can remedy soon and it's nothing more serious..
