We haven't done a roll call /check in thread for quited awhile- so I thought this would be a good time to start it.

Hopefully we can get a "Hello" post and maybe a bit about how you're doing?

hey

I am posting from my new i phone , my new xmas toy to me
So I am checking in hope this works
In Michigan and buffalo for holidays
Doing ok, its freezing here and I still have left over cough from bronchitis
Hugs and happy holidays to everyone
Here's to a better and painfree 2008

First, Shelley, I hope you are feeling better.

I am doing well here in NJ. Trying to enjoy holidays and not getting stressed. My son's leg is healing, my arm is still attached to my body but not completely better.

As far as TOS is concerned, I actually feel alot better. I am almost afraid to say it. I am still in pain but not as much as I was 6 months ago.

I am praying that I am getting back to the way I was after surgery.

I wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year. And, a Merry Christmas!

Im doing well. Ive got to cook supper for my father in law today since my mother in law passed last year but its ok. I have both my steps sons home. One is home from college then I have my two, so a full house for xmas. We will go to my moms on xmas day. New Years Bill and I are going to a huge New Year Eves party at the Sheraton. Im really looking forward to that.

My TOS pain is very low since Ive stopped driving everyday now. As long as I dont stay on the puter much I dont even need a Tylenol...so Im happy for that. So thats my news..Hope everyone has a pain free holiday. Amy

I'm around.... running around after my little girl alot lately. Shelley got an iPhone? wow! thats cool. Lucky! (except for the bronchitis cough in MIchigan, tho)
I hope all are doing well this holiday season. Take care, and safe travels.

Merry Christmas to all!

I'm around...just been miserable lately. I'm trying to get in the Holiday spirit but it's hard. We went to a family party yesterday and I was in so much pain. I had to borrow a pillow and I just couldn't sit anywhere. The weather was rainy which didn't help. I was so tired and felt so sick. It's just totally not like me to be that way.

I'm also on some new medications which is helping some. I'm on Cymbalta and also Zanaflex. It seems to be giving me some relief. The pain is just too much. My surgery has been scheduled now for Jan 14th. It was supposed to be the 7th but had to get bumped a week. I'm hoping I will make it!

Happy Holidays!

A belated Merry Christmas Everyone. I hope 2008 brings better health to all, and a Happy New Year.

Best wishes for a joyful and Happy New Year to all.
I'm around, quietly enjoying the holidays while life busily soars elsewhere.

Happy New Year to All !

We had a nice Christmas going to visit with family. 2007 was a mixed bag for me....I finally found the "right" neuro and PT, so as long as I don't do too much, my TOS symptoms are decently controlled. I'm still having a lot of pain that the neuro now feels is nerve root irritation, so I am awaiting WC approval for a cervical epidural. I am hopeful for some improvement now that I have finally found a doc who is determined to help. Now if only I could get a decent nights sleep so that I wouldn't be so exhausted all of the time !

I hope 2008 brings relief for all of us !

I'm still here. Hoping that 2008 is the year I win SSD. Pain levels are up - but that seems to be the norm for winter months. I'm looking forward to summer and more good days.

My GP upped all my pain meds and changes my ani-inflamatory. Also said she wants to see me when I'm in a flare-up. But she's only in her clinic Tues. am, Wed. and Fri. so I have to coordinate it. yeah, right.

While getting help with my groceries, the bag-girl raked a shopping cart across my bumper. This was right b4 Christmas. Dealing with that today and then taking down the tree. That could take days. Then I'll begin getting my Mom's taxes ready.

Wow - another year come and gone.

I'm so thankful for all of you fine folks here - have a fabulous New Year!!!
