Hi Marlene, Thats so nice you have a sister to spend time with and you still have your parents how wonderful!!!! and a wonderful husband now thats a blessing. Yes the lydocaine is a gel, i put it in a squirt bottle and shoot it up my nose. I never married, i could have many times but my parents had such a bad outcome it scared me to ever get married. I had a boyfriend but when the TN started i pushed him away, i didnt want anyone to see me in that pain. Today i went to jcpenneys to pick up an order, and other than that not to much, pain got worse and i had to take the pain medicine, and then got much better. My mom was 71 when she passed, The hospital forgot to inform us there was something on her lung and 6 months went by and it spread and then we found out, so i have a lawyer suing the hospital, I hopw we go to court so i can tell the story and get them to put a system in place so this never happens again, It was hard to find a lawyer to take the case as California has a 250 thousand malpractice cap, so the lawyer will take alot, its not the money i want, i want to tell a judge and jury what they did, and for the hospital to say what they did and apologize and mean it, they wont because they have already denied it several times so much more to this story and its just upsetting to think about my mom could have still been here.
Hi to everyone, just checking in and hoping that everyone is doing ok. I am having a worse pain spell right now but am glad i can come here and post. Trying to stay positive although very hard. Greatful that i have found place to share, and get support.
Hi Valerie - hang in there. My husband and I just got home from with a visit with two important people that are very close friends. As I mentioned before, because of TN friends have diminished real fast. Just took a sleeping pill to ward of facial pain. Hopefully, will be able to sleep for a couple of hours Horrible way to live!! Will post you later. I feel like we have become good friends and this means so much to me. I thank you for your posts and friendship. You are a very "special" person. Take good care and know that I am with you!!
Hi Valerie - so sorry you are having a rough day. I hope things improve as the day progresses. Keeping good thoughts for you
Hi Marlene - So sorry! Please talk to you dr - Pain increases blood pressure because of the stress of it. Even if high blood pressure isn't normally an issue, it is induced by severe pain and can cause what you are decribing. Please look into it and Feel better - get some sleep. Will check in later
Hi Valerie - how are you feeling now? Better I hope. Had a good rest and pain level has decreased. Chat soon,
Thank you marlene
Hope we all find relife on day
🙁🙁🌹
Hi Ibrahim - thank you for your reply. Are you taking any meds to help relieve your pain? Just wondering - meds can certainly help,
Hi Marlene, i think its wonderful you can get out and go see friends. I pushed mine away i dont like people to see me this way, but it may be a mistake my isolating but i keep doing it. Yes i look forward to sleep a temporary escape from the pain, and it is a horribe way to live. Yes we are good friends, and it means alot to me too. Its been very good for me to share and post here. You are very special too.
Hi Jeej, thank you. Yes the day got better thank goodness. Thanks for keeping good thoughts that means alot. How are you doing?
Hi Marlene, doing a little better now. Glad you had a good rest and thank goodness your pain decreased. Yes chat soon.
I wish by making a new post, it didnt require a whole new thread/or different page of posts. I like this one i feel we are all making good friends here and dont want to lose our group here.. I think we have a good support group here and dont want us to all get scattered so for now i will post or reply to one of my posts, so not to start a new discussion that seems to start a whole new page. Hope everyone has a better/good day today. I have alot to face coming, my almost 17 yr old cat madeline, i notice is drinking alot more water, and losing some weight. I am scared as i dont want to lose her. She has been my everything since my mom died, and since i have isolated she really is my contant companion. I lived with my mom and it was the 3 of us and i am going to be the last one here alone. I am just going to have to pray for strength i dont know how much one person can take. Life certainly is hard.
Hi Valerie = My cirdle of friends is very limited. I can go weeks and not see anyone. It's very hard to make plans even to go shopping or make appointments. After 11 years, it still not does not get better. I was out this morning with my sister for a bit. We have a love/hate relationship. She can be very difficult. We are the total opposite of one another. When we get along, it's good, and when we don't, can be brutal. How about we become fb friends. I can share so much more with you. My last name is Singer. What do you think? It's been a beautiful day day with lots of sunshine and now getting really cool. I read in one of your posts that you have an elderly cat. How is he/she doing? Getting old is not pleasant. Hope you are feeling better than yesterday morning. Chat soon my friend
Thanks for asking! I'm doing pretty well. Its always present and an annoyance (often depttessing) but aside from that debilitating pain is controlled. I'm fortunate in that the meds work for me - to a degree - and I'm able to function. Every time I have a rough day I'm afraid I'll have to start a different regiment. Good days and bad days - today is a good day. The worst thing about the meds is they dumb me down a bit. Not as spontaneous as I used to be and don't have that get-up and go. Hard to get motivated.
I am glad you feel better - have a nice evening and stay in touch!
I was writing toy ou and somehow i lost it, so hope this isnt a double post. I am glad to know your doing pretty well i have to agree with you on everything you said.and so glad you had a good day today. I will of course keep in touch.
