Re: Sorry I haven't been posting!/

December 28, 2007

Hey - Glad to hear you're getting some pain relief finally. Hope your

doctor continues to help you in that area. Sounds like you had a good

Christmas, but you overdid it. You have to learn to pace yourself. Hope

you can get some rest now as well as pain relief. Take care.

I'm lucky to keep the level at a 5 or 6, and I have been dealing with it. He

is talking about sending me for another sleep test, and giving me something

to knock me out... NO sorry not going to

happen...to many bad memories to let them knock me out around strangers. He

also talked about methadone when this stuff isn't helping anymore...he is

concerned about me becoming addicted to it..I would gladly be an addict if

it means I can keep the pain at a dull roar! They just don't get it do they.

Well that's it... thanks for

listening, and a WARM HELLO TO ANY NEW MEMBER I MISSED! In Michigan
