Thank you for the welcome emails.

i have had a lot of pain today. Sunday i needed help to undress cos

myhands didn't work and i also couldn't really bend. Monday i awoke

with a pain, like a deep ached, in my right buttock. this has got worse

but now seems to be coming from a more intimate part of my bum. Yet i

haev had no pain when using the bathroom. This is a weird disease.

Boy, Colin, you got this nailed with that last statement! This IS a weird disease. I'm going to try shopping Friday but I don't know if it's going to pan out. I hope so because I'm getting together with an old HS friend (25 years ago!!!) and I don't want to appear to be an old lady (which I AM!!). At least you have help. I usually do too but most of the time my dh is at work when I get up. And he's there today and I'm in my pj's. Not because I cannot get dressed myself today; because I'm freakin' lazy! haha. Hey, to give myself a little credit here, I did make a pie for tomorrow and I have to make some sweet potato praline. yummy

I sure hope you get some relief. Do you have any pain relievers or are you not to that point yet with your doctor since you are newly diagnosed. I was lucky; when my doctor first diagnosed me, he gave me percocet! right away. and whenever I need it, I call and he refills my prescription!!

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.

only two days a week, sometimes less. My partner is away on business in

Bulgaria. Normally I am on my own mon-fri.

doctor since you are newly diagnosed.

I was prescribed 30mg codeine with paracetamol which I rarely take. I

have a box from sept 03 and still have half of it left. I have taken

them tonight tho. I also have 15mg pure codeine but have never taken

them.

I was lucky; when my doctor first

diagnosed me, he gave me percocet!

I don't know what that is. I am in the uk.

Once i have seen the neurologist and rheumatologist, maybe I 'll have

more know how.

thanks Margaret
