Just wanted to put something 'pretty' (just like you ) on your official thread.
It's so wonderful to see prayer being answered right before our very eyes!

Well, I have been out with my husband all day so it was really nice to have a break from school and be out of the house! I got another call from my stim rep and now we know the surgeon who will be doing me surgery! So, I dont have to go to the appointment on Friday, now it is just me waiting for the surgeon's office to call! SO, I am very happy that we are getting further along and I am very thankful for my stim rep! That is the latest update, will let you know when I get more news! Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement! Thank you Rrae for the the beautiful image...I loved it You all are so wonderful and I appreciate it! Well, I had a long day and am hurtin so I am going to head to bed. Take care BIG'sTara

Oh yeah, my stim rep also told me or promised to have me out of pain so that in May I could run the mini...and I said well I just want to be able to graduate and he said he promised and that he would see to it I will WALK across the stage to get my diploma! I was so happy when he said that and truly believe it is going to happen!

Awesome news, Tara, about your new dr. and being able to ditch the old one. Hopefully your pain meds. will help.

Hoping you find the appt with the neurosurgeon to go well and that your confidence is buoyed in them during that meeting. Take your meds and try to get some rest. Hopefully this will pass and the meds will help until your surgery is here.

Prayers,

Rae I cant recall EVER recall reading a post about yourself where you are 'down'. You are always so positive to us all, I was a bit 'oh my goodness poor Rae' as you dont let your guard down often. I know exactly how you feel about being on Neurontin. I was on those AWFUL meds back in 2005/2006 at a time when I thought I was going OUT OF MY HEAD I too got very depressed, lethargic, forgetful, weary, sad, had all sorts of sounds going on in my head. I just HATED them with a vengeance. I can honestly say that they didnt do me ANY good whatsoever. My pain was just as bad either when I took them or when I stopped taking them. I never did get past the 3 hours either. What a waste of time they were. Then I went onto Lyrica OUT OF THE FRYING INTO THE FIRE that was!!!...but thankfully I met with this Pain Consultant who told me to get rid of all that heavy medication. Said they were doing me more harm than good. I felt drunk all the time, without the benefits and always having a massive hangover. I do hope Rae that you get something to quell those dreaded breakthrough pains

Tara excellent news to read that you finally have got an appointment. WOOHOOOOOOOO and also to hear that you have been given some meds to get your through. And about time too. So its onwards and upwards hopefully for you. Will keep you all in my prayers.........
