Today I am just sad. Life is not fair sometimes. Its amazing which way luck goes in this world and how people who are not nice but are mean and lazy and a whole host of negative things seem to get all the breaks.

What comes around does not always go around.

There I said out loud. Not going to look back.

TIme to move on and pick myself up.

Thanks for listening.

Sorry shell belle...whatever it is

I got diabetes directly from the Lyrica I was prescribed for the TOS. It happened within three months of the Lyrica. I stopped the Lyrica as soon as I discovered my blood sugar was 500, but NONE of the w/c doctors noticed several months of this incredibly high blood sugar and I kept complaining I was blinded...the care level for work comp is so low...

I am at times bitter about it, as a side effect is clearly high blood sugar for Lyrica - and, then the doc prescribed Seroquel, which lists high blood sugar as an even more frequent-occurring side effect. (He must be deaf/dumb/blind...)

Does your H have it under relative control? I do hope so. It's a very bad illness, as it destroys the inside of our bodies...

I am not a Bible-thumper here, but the New Testament has some sentences that basically say just that - creeps can get rich on Earth, while good people may suffer and die. Also, it says that people who are perceived as important on Earth, are not so in terms of the everlasting...we are not to be fooled by these temporary conditions.

For some reason, THAT gives me comfort.

I have been around celebrities, rich people, etc., and everyone goes ga-ga kissing their "cheeks", when they are just really rude, selfish and not particularly even intelligent people...so I pray that God will remove my resentment towards that, or them, and help me to keep my eyes on what is important, such as being as generous to others and "of service" as I can.

I know (I think) exactly how you feel Shelley!

P.S. It is ALWAYS ok to VENT to me! Get it OUT of your system!

Tam alittle scary about the Lyrica. My husband's doctor just prescribed it for him for shoulder pain. His sugar has been ranging in the 150 - 200's. He hasn't started taking it yet because we had to wait for it to be approved by insurance. He has been monitoring his sugar closely so I'll tell him what you said so he knows to keep that in mind if it goes up. Thanks

Shelley I know what you mean about life not always being fair. I could go on and on about all the things that have happened to me in the past 9 years. I started keeping a journal when I was pregnant with my first daughter. The first movement, all my doctors appointments, everthing after she was born, etc.; until about 2000. Then it became to damn depressing. Now I do regret it because it would make one heck of a movie! No one would believe half of the crap I've gone through. I'm sure it's the same for most of you!

I just try to keep smiling. If it's something you can change, then do your damndest to change it. If you can't then make the best of it. And sometimes a good cry does help.

Sorry guys Play Doh (as far as I am concerned)is just plain nasty stuff !!! It was after my divorce and it seemed everbody boght the guys PlayDoh machines of course they tried them out in the living room... whatever I did to that carpet I could not get it out after that and a new carpet we palyed with it in the dining room on the tile or table or kitchen linoleum... than again... they were more fascinated with pulling stuff out of the cupboards (pots,pans,etc) and making noise than playing with some of their more expensive toys when they were little "go figure".

Shell... I hope today is better for you than yesterday was and that the only blues you have are the blue skies above

Dabbo... I truly hope you would not have to commute that far every day, I can not imagine driving that far... I drive ten miles in one sitting and I have to get out for a bit before I can drive again, than I only do it around my meds

johanna... you are saying about the aspens, you should see the oaks and maples in our area turning fire red and bright orange such a bad sign that winter is close by...

Yesterday communicated via E-mail to Dr Sanders, think I am going to stop procrasintating and have him do some cutting early on in 2008!!!

Everybody have a good day and really mess with somebody that you do not know... smile at them and say Hello

Mark~n~Goober

Ah Sorry Shelley,

Come here anytime.......we will be nice to you!!!

Love Ya!!!

Peggy

Mark I like that, messing with someone you don't know by saying hello. better then bitchin! It was amizing to be up in your neck of the woods to see all the changing colors of the trees. Ours here in NJ haven't changed yet. It really was beautiful. Once I can figure out how to attach my pictures, I'll send a couple. I can take pictures but not very computer savy. Oh, and Mark, Playdoh isn't so bad, it's just that you start out with about 7 colors in one day and by the end of the week they are all purple! Luckily they are cheap!

Shelly Hope you have a better day today.

I have a rule....honesty from me and I tell it like it is bad or good and if you like it great I am your friend....but if you are an A$% then you can (as I would say in Scottish) goan bile yer heed.......said as go and boil your head in your lang. so get lost and deal with it!!!

Sorry I am not trying to ruffle feathers but I have a feeling most of us are a bit the same way. I have lost friends to this monster TOS and it was devastating to me. I kept thinking what was wrong with me.....then relized it was her......so there goan bile yer head.........

I am sorry some have a rough time just now....

I hope that you get what is coming to you better things you have earned. My girlfriend's daughter is really ill and she asks what she did wrong(the daughter)for God to give her this problem and why she has been so bad and what did she do???/!!!!!

horrible poor little thing she has really gone through hell. Her doctor told my GF that all the kids he meets are amazing kids but they are all so sick....

We all have our crosses to bear so to speak.....you reap what you sow. If you are like us usually the caregiver with a huge heart I have found.......then we feel what did we do to get this......nothing no logic here I am afraid. I too question it....I have had many tearful days asking why....and there is just no answer just the real world and poop happens so to speak. I believe in something after this....not so sure what but I have a huge sense of hope for this......

sorry ranting again guys.....

love and hugs to you all,
Victoria

Tam and Lin- I hope you both get/have the diabetes under control.... Don't need to add ONE more thing to the list of issues!

The interview went (I thought) very well. I like the company, the people, etc. We would have to move, but they would put me up in a hotel during the week, and I would commute monday am there and then back friday afternoon. They would do that (I think) for about a month. We shall see.... I have a couple of more things set up here in town over the next 2 days. Hopefully one of em works out, so I can get this behind me.

Speaking of behind *** TMI WARNING TOO MUCH INFORMATION ***
I had to have part of a pilonidal cyst lanced last friday - I had the major one removed 1.5yrs ago, but I forgot how much the freakin lancing hurt. I almost... unswallowed.

anywho! i hope everyone has a good day!!
