Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 > I'm all for it. Hey, Cliff, what's the most irritating thing we can do to increase our PSQ (personal suckiness quotient) ? Barb Hi, Barbara and all!!! First, to answer your question...Fortunately, none of us here in our little RSD cyberworld have an PSQ that averages higher or lower than anyone elses! I think for me to increase my own PSQ, I'd do 3 things: 1. Be negative, 24/7...that really irritates people. 2. Be narcissicistic...the damn world revolves around me and my pain. 3. Give up on myself, medical science, hope for a cure and the world around me. That's actually a combination of the first two, but deserves it's own mention. These are the things I do when I'm recto-cranially inverted. Someone will come along eventually and force me to correct that condition. When you hear the loud " POP " and the loud sucking sound, that's me pulling my head out. Secondly, dear Barbara and others with SCS...I saw my pain doc today and we're moving forward. He's instructed me to abandon suicidal thoughts and informed me that no matter how much I beg him, he won't amputate my leg...so, onward with SCS after my insurance okays the procedure which won't be an issue. I'm looking forward to it, even though there will be quite a bit of " restrictive time " during which I won't be able to do a lot of things...a small price to pay I guess! My doc also informed me that this was the next to final frontier as far as pain management is concerned...if this doesn't work, then it's on to the hard drugs and a life of stonedness...are any of you on morphine pumps and the like? If so, can you drive/work/function??? If you can't please lie to me and tell me that you can! Peace, love and pain relief!!! Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Cliff, I wish you good luck with the SCS..sorry your pain is out of control and that this procedure has to be done. I am on morphine..not with a pump..and not on extremely high doses..enough to take the edge off though..and yes I drive and can do everything else. In the begining I couldn't drive until i knew how it would affect me...but after the intitial gettting used to it I function fine. Hope you have a great day..Hugs..GinnyCliff Huber wrote: > I'm all for it. Hey, Cliff, what's the most irritating thing we can do to increase our PSQ (personal suckiness quotient) ?

There how was that for my PSQ level . I will keep you in my prayers Cliff that this does work for you and that you can maintain your normal life as best as you can. So hang in there, we are all pulling for you, Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
