Just know that you are lucky that your husband doesn't dump out a whole basket or two of folded laundry on your bed to look for something and then leave for work!! Since he is a restaurant manager who works until quite late most days, that means that when I get home in the late afternoon and find the mess, I have no choice but to deal with the mess if I want to go to bed that night.

Hi everyone...busy weekend here...hope everyone's okay!

DH and I raked thousands of leaves yesterday...and finished putting away the patio furniture. Guess summer's over
I actually am not as tired as I was the last few weeks...but I'm still going to have the sleep study on Wed. night. Then we'll work from there...
Spasms and pain have made a comeback. I think I realized why they disappeared for several weeks...I had forgotten that I took a dose pak of 'roids in mid-Sept. That would have done it, no?
I am hunkering down and trying to get through this very difficult session in my MT course. It's so slow, 'cause the ole' brain just don't work like it used to...if I can't pass this session, I'm giving up...

Well, I hope all of you have a wonderful Monday afternoon!!

Hi have been to GP today she has decided even though Flu jab knocks me about for a month or two its best for me to have it and hubby. And joy of joys we have to have the piggy flu jab as well Got to book in for the clinic in a couple of weeks. All ok other than that Hope all goes well for you Sarah fingers crossed. Thinking of you all. xxxxxxxxxx

Sarah, hope the appointment went ok.

Moo, best of luck with the flu jabs.

Holly, I enlist hubby's help by folding his clothes on his side of the bed. If he wants to sleep, he's got to help.

Vonn,

Been without energy for the past few days. Do some dishes, crash on couch. Do some laundry, crash on couch. Have a very slight fever and a cough, but not sure if that's the culprit. Hope it is, cuz when it goes bye bye I'll have energy again.

Ah well, still puttering carefully.

Had my usual busy Monday and now I am exhausted. I still have eight papers to grade before tomorrow morning.

Jenn -- Hope you are feeling better soon. I have been feeling more tired than usual the past week or so, and the spasticity in my leg is worse. Maybe it is the weather???

Sarah, Hope your appointment went reasonably well.

Soxmom -- I was impressed by your post. You must have mentioned everyone!

Hugs to all!

well
lets see, for the dizzy spells with vomitting I was having in summer, he is now wondering if slight chance non related to other stuff and maybe some migrane thing without headaches. He wants me next two times I have that whole thing, at onset take a migrane med, he gave me free ones... if helps at all within first 45 minutes it would show migrane idea might be? something like that...

for the pain from the spasticity, and my all over body pain, and also for the nerve pain he wants me to consider Cymbalta! like start it, and if helps spasticity I would wean off the baclofen.. or if maybe helping nerve pain wean off the neurontin... although I do not have nerve pain now with the neurontin...so would have to wean some to see if cymbalta would help...

not sure I am keen on idea... so any tips guys... any of you on cymbalta.. does it help if on for pain stuff..??? or had been on.. really want the good and bad... thanks,,

he is a nogo for medical mj... he said he feels it doesnt do much at all for spasticity in patients he knows has tried it.... (I have heard different hehe)

oh well, nothing much new.. showed me some new stretches for my back, that he wants me to do each morning and right after work... see if helps stretch the back where the spasms are worse... so I will do those on top of some yoga been feeling good with... hugssss,sarah

Hi all! Quickly checking in. I finished and turned in my essay. Phew! For some reason I was really having a tough time with it. So glad that's done. Next is determining my topic for my term paper. UGH!

Sarah - I took Cymbalta for 3 days. It was awesome for the pain - better than the Neurontin. However, for me, it messed with my mind. In otherwords, I am normally a passive upbeat type person, never really get mad or angry or anything. It made me have aggressive thoughts and kept me awake despite being so tired. By day 3 I told the dr. no more of that crap! LOL It does seem to work well for others and I would not hesitate to recommend you give it a try.

Supermoo - Good luck with those shots.

Fin - Hope you start feeling better.

Barb - The wonderful Monday blues! Glad you made it through the day!

Hi everyone else! Hope you are doing well also.

Gotta go finish up my nieces painting. It's over there screaming at me to do something and fix it. LOL

Sarah, I have heard that some people really have good results with cymbalta, but I too could not handle it. (Try the search button.)I was only on it for about five days. My side effects were extreme nausea and tremors.

Sarah,
I've been on Cymbalta for nerve pain for a few years now...I was also on Gabapentin (neurontin)...my new neuro took me off of that, and I'm still on Cymbalta...I occasionally will have some nerve pain, but not much...I think it works for me...and I have had no side effects.

Jenn, hope you feel better soon...

Evenin' all. Hugs, prayers, and high fives all around.

Today I battled the yard. I won. I may not feel like it in the morning though. The veggie garden is ready for its winter blanket of mulch. I think I am half way done with the rest of the yard winterizing details. One more full day at it should finish the project. Better make that two days as I keep thinking of more things to do. It may be too late to do some things.

Need to tackle some housework, but curling up under a nice warm blankie, with a good book, and a re-filled mug of something warm, sounds like a better bet.

Night all.
