Dolfinz:hug:

walking the edge most days
 

I'm still hanging on. Going to start cymbalta soon to see if it helps with depression. Get flares about every 10-15 days. Have to stop bringing up the empty recycle bin. :( Feldenkrais is helping but sure could use a Pain Mgmt Clinic. Have a senator offer to have my SSD case go "On The Record", meaning it gets in a judges hands for review at home or on his off hours. If case is found unfavorable, I still keep my place in line for a hearing before an ALJ. Waiting on my attorney to decide if it's an option for me now.


So to keep my spirits up, I dream of fruity drinks on a S.FL beach... and pie. :D

Peace and pain free days are wished for you all,
Anne

I'm still hanging around in the wings. Started with a pain management clinic that's wanting to do the surgically inserted version of the tens unit. Still kinda leary of surgeries, haven't had the best luck with them so far. taking things slow and steady and just being or trying to be me again. Food talk is making me hungry, im just glad its done and ready to eat, so i got to go. have a good pain free or as much pain free day as you all can get.

Yum...munch munch munch (thanks Curious and Astern) (picture Shelley stuffing her face)

Oh yeah its June and I am Here! (saluting Jo)

Hope everyone is having a low pain day

:grouphug: for the room

Can someone pass the milk? :p

Here are some Sprinkles Cupcakes for everyone. My fave is the red velvet.

Anne - that sounds like a good offer- I hope it works out. ohh! the pies are showing now -mmmmm
Chris - good to hear from you - is that unit a SCS? like beth got? she says hers is nice and helps a lot. her newest post about is on a Poll thread on the RSD forum.
Dolfinz - best of luck in Boston!
Shelley - I think I'm somewhat lactose intolerant- but how about pink lemonade - will that be OK?
Curious - choccy!!!

I've tried to find some nice pics of a fruit bowl or a green veggie salad , but no luck!- so as soon as my garden grows a bit more I'll take a pic of it.

did somebody say milk? :p

Hi all
I am presently having big probs again, despite my meds..pins and needles are recurring more so, problems with dead arming self, position doesn't make a difference. Tried getting up bed a little few nights ago, slipped in fold of mattress, and had excruciating pain over collar bone in arm and hand - won't be doing that again. Hands hurt a lot. Still awaiting other referral....like everything takes time....I will have to find out what is going on.
Basically fed up plus warm weather making breathing harder.
Oh well must not moan.
Sorry...usually don' go on but just hvaing horrid time.

Take care one and all and hope things are improving for surgery ones and DDMAy MArk hope pump is doing ok.

Best regards
Hx
