Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hi Judi: I am so sorry that the Lyrica has fizzled out on you - it was looking so promising there for a while. What a disappointment - I feel for you, kiddo. Well, darn that Decrum's - I know you have had some tumors removed before, but has the removal of them helped? Could this one be removed? Good luck to you on your babysitting tomorrow - get to bed early tonight - you're going to need all of your energy tomorrow lol.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Girl, your positive attitude & sense of humor inspire me so much. Hoping you have a great time with the babies, I know they can sure take it out of you though. How do the lipomas act in dercums? Does the pain wax and wane, or do you get flareups like in RA? I know neurological diseases are mysterious things- I had never heard of Dercums until I heard your story. Careful hugs and wishes for pain free days.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Oh Judi, I'm so sorry these darned things are so close to your spine. That must really hurt. The Lyrica is loosing it's effectiveness is such a shame. You are just so full of bad news, but your optimism is admirable. I know those babies will put plenty of smiles on your face. Handling 3 of them can't be an easy task, but I know you'll have fun. Enjoy your triple blessings! a On Sep 15, 2005, at 7:41 PM, nonny46 wrote: > Hi group, > > Well the problem with my back is solved, not that I'm happy with the > solution, but at least I know.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 HiJane, Gee, I'm glad that I am an inspiration (beats perspiration all to heck!!) We had a great time with the babies--when the triplets woke from their nap, it was fun to see the wonder in their eyes at seeing us there, and then all we saw were arms and legs as they crawled all over us from 2:30 until came home at 7:30. She got home earlier than she thought, but tired from 2 days of classes and 8 hours of driving. TJ came flying off the school bus and I don't think his feet hit the ground until he leaped into Papa's arms. You should've seen those two playing with frogs outside, sitting on the deck in their sock feet. After dinner, Rebekah was looking for her sippy cup which she had put down, and then in her little 2-year old voice, I heard " AHA!! There you are! " I nearly wet myself laughing. Well, I've had a dish of sugar free chocolate cherry ice cream and I'm ready for the rack. Now if my cat will just decide it's ok to drink out of his normal water dish instead of my bathroom sink...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Thanks, a! Yeah, it hurts, but hey what's new? As long as I don't turn real quick (like to watch some hottie going down the street) it's not so bad. Oh, and reaching for an extra helping of ice cream (see post to Jane...) I'm really loopy tonight, and after being out in the country at 's, sneezing my eyeballs out. The grandbabies were angels...well, ok, they were typical 2-year olds. Bekah tried to stomp her foot at me and I just gave her my evil eye and she " innocently " waved her little foot around like " oh, I wasn't going to really stomp my foot...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 A hottie may be worth the pain LOL! I feel for you having to deal with an allergy attack. We just got back from NJ and my poor husband suffered terribly. One great thing about moving to Florida is that he doesn't have to live on allergy pills anymore. So glad it went well. Enjoy that ice cream. I think it's time I took a break from trying to catch up and indulged!! Hope you also have a good weekend. a On Sep 16, 2005, at 10:01 PM, nonny46 wrote: > Thanks, a! > > Yeah, it hurts, but hey what's new?
