Hi Sweetiepie!!

What a lovely surprise, I'm just darting in quickly, I'll be back later. I know just what you mean about the docs, I've had examinations by the rheumatologist myself recently (for rheumatoid arthritis) and every time I explained the different "pain types" he just looked cross, as if to say "Yes, well, that's nerves, so not my problem"....but I won't complain too much, he was actually helpful. So lots of blood tests for me too..

OK! It's my dinner time, nothing on TV till later (CSI, the Grissom one)...I just need to go sink into my cane chaise long - once a beautiful piece of furniture, now a giant Dog Basket, lol! I did try to resist, but the dogs hypnotised me over the years..be back later,

It's *so* good to hear from you, I was wondering...and hoping things were getting sorted. Why does everything take so long...??
atb!

girlfriend, i think of you everyday when i log on here. i will continue to pray for you - if anything, just for peace.

i know when i lay down at night i don't pray for answers. just peace.

soft hugs,
ang

Rheumatologist mentioned sjogren's syndrome, but the reason was because: I get a really bad dry mouth (which I *know* got really bad after starting lyrica and the darvocet more regularly), I get abdominal pain, I get out of breath (well, that is also from meds), and I feel that he didn't take into account all of my medications and the type of pain I am having!! Grr... it's not joint pain, it's NERVE PAIN)... so anyways, next time I see him (in early July) I am going to MAKE him listen to me! He was surprised that I had swelling...

So... I am NOT completely happy with this doctor... I was at first and then I thought long and hard on what he said/ did at the appointment, and I came to the conclusion that he has made a mistake...

we'll see how it turns out when I see him next!

Speaking of dogs, is that your pup in your avatar? I am planning on putting my dog back in my avatar (like you mentioned in the photo thread).

Here is me and him:



Sending gentle hugs your way!

Aww, Sammy's ADORABLE!!!! Just needed to say that. Please return to your regularly scheduled posts...

-Bets

I'll try Sweetie!!

Thanks! I think Sam is quite adorable myself, but he needs brush up training... his behavior went sour when my RSD got real bad and I couldn't practice with him daily. He is the sweetest thing though and LOVES children (such a good thing with 10 siblings!).

Soft hugs being sent your way!

Hi IHH I was going to send out a search party, you were MIA for a spell, there. Anyway, I'm so sorry that your still not up to par. I will say some prayers for you. Your picture is "Beautiful" and I love your kid.. she's beautiful! Love and hugs to ya, Love, Desi

Thanks Desi!! That is so sweet y'all missed me. I will try to post more... thanks for the compliments on me & my baby!! Dogs are good therapy!

And thanks for the prayers.

Sending you many pain free hugs!

Inhishand sorry hugs to you. I do want to say I do have RSD and TOS. I have problems with the sun also I loved the sun always got a great tan but now it is my enamy it burns the living heck on my affected skin even being a passenger in a car and the sun shining on my arm is bad! OUCH! and I also pass out have talked to my doc about it too, I will see if it gets better but I believe it is a combo of blood pressure at times being way to high and passing out, at times my body just shutting down so it can heal, and at times my meds all play into it so I will have a jouirnal for it to find out.
Oh my mouth is dry also like a desert I figure my meds are doing it YUCK! I hope you get some relief...
