Wow....took a two hour nap and now I feel better.

Sandy, I'm glad your Mom is receiving the attention she needs. I hope they can get to the bottom of what's causing all this.

Tricia, I'm so sorry you can't go on your trip. Long car rides are horrible for me. Makes my legs hurt so bad I can barely walk when it's time to get out.

Barb, I mentioned to him that this particular BP med was suggested for MS treatment and he said he had heard that, too. He won't talk too much about MS. I honestly don't think he knows that much about it but I don't really expect him to.

I'm going to pickup my meds at the drug store now. Thank goodness they're both generics.

Mom just talked to me and she's coming back! Ok, she's still confused but she asked me why we put her in a nursing home which is BIG! She even asked me about her apartment and bank accounts! This is big for someone who two days ago wasn't even in touch with what was going on. I assured her that we were coming down next week and bringing her home here with us if she's better. Thanks everyone for the prayers. ♥

Yeahhhhhhhh SANDY!! woohooo mom sounds on her way back!! prayers still being said...yeahhh

TK I am sooo very sorry your flare is causing a cancelled trip! hugssssssssss

Yes the spasms are bad.. neuro wants me to try Cymbalta... and if it helps the pain to wean down the baclofen... thought cymbalta might help. Then said it helps nerve pain for some too. So after on for a bit, I could try weaning neurontin and see if it does help my nerve pain. I have not decided yet on this idea. I hate starting a new medicine... helpppp

anyhow, the massage was heaven. She asked how I am doing.. she is an angel. She then said how bout we do certain areas instead of hour of all areas.. I said YES my back.. so she did like back of legs... (as issues with htose at times) then wow focused on my back.. she did sooo wonderful... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh wish I was there now again hehe

she then always talks after I am dressed about my stuff going on, talks about what she felt etc... she said how terribly tight my lower back was.. and also between my sholder blades... so she also said she checked to make sure she could feel thru my shoulder blades. She said some people when get too tight.. eventually you can not feel the blades well.. and not a good sign. But she said she could feel mine good. She gave me more stretches other than the neuro ones... said although tough to fit things in a day.. TO please do them daily to avoid problems.

I LOVE HER then top it off, for an hour it is $45. she did hour worth.. or 55 min. then when I was leaving said, Sarah today it is $25. for you. I said no way.. she said well we only did certain areas not the whole body. I said well you did hour though... she said NO IT IS $25. for me today.

she spoils me, I wonder cause she had done this one other time, she knows I only go so limited times due to funds... maybe something with that...

when I was preggo, I got massage few times, the last time was day before being induced for baby to come. She said no charge today, it is on her.. a prebaby gift!! is that sweet!

keeping this massage therapist...wish insurance would cover. Anyhow since she charged me $20. less, I made apt for in two weeks. It feels sooo good on the spasm areas.

sorry rambling now, heading out to movies now with sister, hugsss,sarah

Hi all ..

quick update - talked with my lawyer tonight (the last thing he had to do before he would be enjoying a fun weekend with his family) ...

bad news - he's not even concerned that I don't or may not even be looking at a hearing in the next 6 months ... unless the liver biopsy comes back something life threatening or I'm looking at being evicted ... there's nothing to do to speed up the government paperwork ...

good news - many people are approved ... some are caught for thorough processing .. guess who that is?

just to let you know that I am going to stay away from here and FB for awhile ... and work on the website, school and considering living in a box (not really) ... oh, and he wants me to have depression classes to improve my disability ...

apparently, being in extreme chronic pain all the time, 24/7 ... and have new issues ... isn't enough ... LOL - you DON'T want to know what I'm thinking right about now!

going to beat the system ... become a millionaire and the government can stuff their 'assistance' ...

sorry! thanks for listening ... will continue to check in on you ...

Good early-morning, all...legs not happy, so I'm checking here.Sandy, our prayers continue for your mom. Hope the improvement continues.Vonn, please know that you'll be in our thoughts and prayers. You sure have a heavy boulder to push uphill

Sarah,glad the massage helped. Do those stretching exercises...they help.

Kitty, sorry to hear you're on more meds.

My DS and DDIL are moving today...I made some sloppy joes and banana bread. I am going to be on the receiving end, helping unpack.
I'm considering not having bladder surgery. I'm going to call the neuro Monday about it. I am worried that the surgery will make my fatigue worse, and I can't function as it is right now. I am not happy about this...
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Good Morning! Beautiful day here today. Looks like this will be our last nice, warm weekend for a while.

DS has plans at the lake with friends today so I will have the house to myself....again!

Debbie, those meds aren't new. I just needed refill rx's for them. Needed my blood checked to see if the thyroid med is the correct strength.

Nothing much planned for today. I'll probably go back to bed here in a little while and get my "good sleep" for the day!

Everyone enjoy your Sunday!
