Frown

Thanks Marabunta, the interview went well i think (its hard to tell though!). They actually didnt ask for any medical conditions - so your right when you say its not such a problem for employers these days, as i suppose they arent allowed to discriminate, therefore perhaps have to be careful with even asking that question!.


Im very limited to the type of job i do - cannot do office work, as in so much agony i was sent home crying sometimes!. Nothing with lifting or anything retail either.....just worry one day i wont even be able to work in a school as then there is nothing else i can do!

Hi everyone ! Hope everyone had a nice holiday and saw some great fireworks !

Mtnmom... sorry about your son.. My boy (22 now) seemed I was ALWAYS in the ER with him !! Boys will be boys ?! Hang in there !

Dabbo... I have been MISERABLE since I got back from Florida in June ! I never had allergies/sinus this bad ! We here in Mass have had ALOT of rain so the pollen has been every high ! Have you tried a Netty ( I think that is what it is called ) Pot yet ? I bought one at CVS 2 weeks ago. I have had NO problems since I used it ! It really works. You should try it. It's like a little tea pot that you pour into the sinus cavity (sounds weird) but if you can get the hang of it , it is worth it. I hope you start to feel better and... love the pic ! I am jealous !

Anyway.. just wanted to stop by and say Hello to everyone and hope you all have a pain free holiday weekend ! My left shoulder is still not moving !


Hugs to everyone......

Dolfinz

Finz, I'm sorry that you've been feeling yucky. I have the squirt bottle, but I think I'm going to try the Neti Pot. I get the little packets of saline solution- they're pH balanced.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July, and is having a great weekend!!

Heart Hi guys

Hi Dabbo,
I check in once and a while..been scrapbooking and causing myself hellish pain making artist trading cards and greeting cards. All the wrong stuff, but I love it!!!!

I am going to have to start coming on agian as I am seeing a new doc for the last three months and she is amazing. I should do a post with all the things she is having me do to change my life and get into somewhat of a better placce..ok a great place if it all works out. she does this with lots of dx and lots of issues. I have an illness she says and that is how we will treat me....as if I am sick and then she gives me guidelines of what to do and how to change and what needs addressing each bi-weekly visit. AMAZING woman...has fibromyalgia and still treats people all day long.

anyhoo.....love to all my old pals and hey to all the new ones....but then to you I am new!!!

love and hugs to all,
Victoria
Ps happy Stampede week.....CAlgary alberta.....for all you cowgirls and cowboys!!!!

I know I have not been around in a bit, well to start out I passed out in my driveway one day... no idea how long I was out but a neighbor found me who called the ambulance it was not till I was in ICU that I woke up and found out that I had walking pneumonia and had a fever of almost 105 spent .... after 7 days of bedrest the resident doctor said I was moving my arms fairly well <URGE TO GO POSTAL> sure after resting!!!! Not even a week later came down with a nasty gastric distress that as one could due witout the cramps, and movements coming from both ends that lasted almost a month.... now my RSD is drivinig me crazy with the burning, itch, stabbing pain in my feet ankles and shins hey let us not forget the good ole TOS with the trool stabbing my shoulder with an ice-pic, my swollen hand, dropping things mus I go on since this is the TOS site!?!
I am getting tiered of diagnoses.... Cervical Disc Disease, CRPS II/RSD, TOS, Fibromyalgia and multiple herniations in the Thoracic Spine

Unto all, sorry for the B%TCH SESSION !!!!! I hope and wish that quiet night and a better day tomorrow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Vic! Good to hear from you, and I so pleased that you like your new doctor. Its amazing that she has fibro and is able to do that. I hope that things go well, and you get to that great place!!

Mark- Its good to hear for you. I'm sorry about what happened- walking pneumonia is a b*$&ch!!! take care of yourself! Our dog was flippin out from the fireworks from late June thru last weekend. I think we were about to have to sedate her!

Oh - I hate that flippin troll with the knife.... I want him to go away! To that end, I had another round of botox on Monday- mainly in my traps, down into my shoulder blade, and one in the scalenes. WAY sore today, but I didn't have a massage on monday. It will be worth it if it lasts 2 months again.
