Default New Faces?

Wow!!!! Seems there are quite a few new folks here. In just a short time we have grown BIGGY! I hope to get to chat with all of you but in the meantime I just want to say hello! I'm Mark and I have been around the barnyard for quite a long time. Have been in hiding for a bit due to incresed pain levels which everyone can relate to and had to change my screen name, But if I can ever offer a helping limb thats of any use, please let me know!!

I feel so warm when I post and chat with you all. I see so many friends on here. I cannot explain how comforting it is to see my dear dear friends like Artist, Buckwheat, DiamondLil, Allen, Condor, Debbi3674, Jose, Frogga, Claudia, Linda, Ada, Janet C, Curious, and everyone!!! If I left you off please do not think you are any less important. My arms are around you to.

My Doc just recently put me on Cymbalta and I think it is wasting my time. I can't seem to get it through her head that I'm a Big Boy now and I need the grown up stuff. No more candy. I finally weened off of Vicodin (thank God) and am working on getting off of Oxy. Neither do the trick anymore. Been on both for three years. One of my Docs wants to put in a Morphine Pump. I still have a broken Stimluator Implant in me. Hell - one at a time please. The next thing you know if I sit to close to a floor heater - I'LL MELT!

Well "One Day At A Time" that's all I can ask for at this point. Well enough rambling. I hope I can chat again real soon. Everyone needs to take extra pain meds cause I don't believe in no wimpy gentle hugs. Big Ole Bear Hugs for everyone!!!!!!.

Chin Up!!! Mark

I worry about the melting thing too... but more to my inability to detect hot or cold... hope they sort out the pump - i wish that my drs would even consider ops. have you considered prialt?

much love

FRxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

PS don't know if you are up for listening to stuff at the moment - but this radio show is giving me something to giggle about.!!!!! http://www.thislife.org/ ... my favourite link is DEFINETLY this one though.... http://www.thislife.org/pages/descriptions/07/325.html (Houses of ill repute!)..

PPS - is the PD a replacement of the MS or a new thing? I know the initial sx in both are similar..

Default Hi Mark,

I was just wondering if these things they are putting in you are made out of metal or plastic. If they are metal or have metal in them you might not want to go to a junkyard where they have those big magnets that pick up cars. Wouldn't want you to be made into a pancake. LOL

I hope you do get to stick around but I do know how that pain is. I have raised my meds lately and they are still not doing the job. Next month I will have an implant put in me too. At least it might be a way of identifying my body if I ever kick the bucket or get lost.

Your right about those hugs, it does take extra meds to be able to give good ones. I don't think that there's enough meds out there though to make those hugs any easier but I still give them.

Ada

Default Thanks Frogga

Great sites. Ada the implant is mostly metal with some plastic. You are right about the magnets. The biggest obstacle is going through metal detectors. I recently had to go through one at a court house. I have to be checked manually with a wand. They have to be real careful with it or they can shock you really bad. Well wouldn't you know it. ZAP! I got nailed. The Officer forgot to turn down the sensitivity of the wand and talk about hurt. I felt like I was sticking a fork into a electrical outlet. I did calm down but it took about a half hour.

Anyway, it just something you have to learn to live with. Thanks again Frogga. I appreciate the sites. Chin Up!!! Mark
