Thanks everyone for your awesome vibes.

Hopeful- I did the same thing! I only have one pair of actual UGGs, but the pair I have are the "heavy duty" Ultra UGGs, which have really soft lining in them. When I went to get sized (they were a birthday present), the sales person thought I was nuts for getting them larger! I have actually started buying the Minetonka's that are often at DSW- they are the same quality, a little cheaper, and do the same thing! Just a suggestion And yes, chocolate makes everything better, especially dark chocolate...yummm!

AintSoBad, I have never actually paid attention to whether the change in barometric pressure makes a difference- I will have to check that out. I am actually listening to music on iTunes of some of my favorite feel-better-pick-up music (gulp, I am actually listening to Spice Girls!) while I type on the computer. And fresh homemade Iced Tea is so good! My dad's family is originally from the south, so I grew up with homemade sweet tea...love that stuff.

CZ, I will have to try the epsom salt bath. We don't have any right now, but we will pick some up the next time we are at the drug store. I have a whole bunch of yummy smelling bath melts/foams/bubbles, because my fiance knows I like hot baths after a horrible day to help me relax to get to sleep, so he gets me all sorts of them to try. My favorite right now is the 3-in-1 Buttercream Cupcake from Ulta...oh it smells so yummy and good!

Man that tea sounds good Pete! And that bathwater sounds good enough to drink with a straw too! MMMMMM Buttercream Cupcake!!!

Im with Pete with the barometric pressure, it starts hitting me hard once it starts falling. But once it kinda levels off so does my pain from that, although the cold, wind, icy conditions do keep the pain coming.

We are having a mini heat wave out here in Ca, it is supposed to be around 94 today, and be near 105 by the middle of next week! Summer just doesnt want to let us go. The heat messes with me too, makes me feel light headed, dizzy, and generally bad all over.

I just hope we dont get robbed of the nice 70 and 80's before the cold sets in, now that would be a bummer LOL!

Maybe if I think hard enough I can force some of this nice warm weather towards PA. After all that rain you can imagine your in the tropics!

I'm in northern NJ and I'm with you guys with the weather. It was a miserable night last night. Had to see the pm dr today and he increased the Lyrica. He is also considering differnt meds but will wait till next appt. Epsom salt bath is so nice on these days. I had been thinking about the radio frequency ablation that the IME dr recomended and decided against it right now. Just seems like the risks outweigh the benefits. Feeling pretty bad, my daughter plays in the HS band and had their first game tonight. I just can't handle sitting there with the cold but would love to be there. Somehow I am going to get some sort of life back....I can't live like this. I am so mad that this is happening.

Hi Britt
triggers for me are stress,,,,and lack of exercise,,although doing exercise is painfull before and after,,it yields in the long run and also helps to desensitise the affected limbs,,when the water changes from me being in the pool and then hit the rinse [warm shower,,my feet and ankles turn blue and black like a lava lamp,,,soaks are good,and music helps me,,xanax when needed,,im trying to stay off the oxy,,,,and as for the tea,im a big fan of sun tea,,,ive got a gallon in the fridge,,,,,may you all, have a painfree nite,,,,ps britt,,as ive posted before,,i agua jog,,it helps and any type of exercise will push the beast back into his cage,,much love to all,,,,,,,,,,,,,boyd......oh,,most of all Pray to the Lord Jesus
