Laurie

I love the pain description. I've said for a long time that rsd is worse than childbirth---at least it ends and has a good outcome.

sorry you're having so much pain, but hope the med adjustments help.

Good luck with the sting.

Dear Grp.

well it's been a couple of days since I logged in and really have to catch up on the news. I thought I'd let you know what's been happening here on the home front. Saw Dr again today and tweaked my meds some. Added cloniden, dilaudid , and increased my Cymbalta. I sure hope this helps cause I feel like my legs and feet are giving birth with the way the pain is coming in waves. I'm started crying in office cuz I get real emotional about this stuff. I'd just get tired day after day living with this disease. We try this trmt then that and it's a vicious cycle. I just want a little peace in my life.

Now today the narcotics officer called and wants to arrange a sting with using a undercover officer. I just have to come up with a story on how I met this person and why he wants to buy. I'm scared. In one way I want to do what's right and the other part of me doesn't want to hurt him. I know in my mind what's right but my gut tells me different. Please pray for me to have strength to go through this.

I'm dog sitting for the neighbor who went in hospital today with pneumonia. At least it keeps me busy with 2 dogs. I don't know if I can handle it so I'm taking it one day at a time.

Sorry for the long story but you guys understand.

Luv Laurie

Laurie,

Of course I"ll pray for you about this--and also that your pain will subside. It is hard to live with this day after day, but God gives us the strength to keep going. The chorus to a 'Selah' song goes 'Hold on, a little bit longer." I know you can do this. Believe that it will get better. We have to. I know when I was in the pits I didn't see how it could, but it has.

Love,

Hi Laurie!

I am so sorry you have been in so much pain. I hope it starts to let up soon. Dealing with the stress of the drug mess/narcotic sting, has got to be very nerve wracking, as well as making your stress go to the moon. It is so hard - when a friend is doing wrong by the law, but be easy on yourself and know you are doing the right thing. Take care and hugs from me to you. ConnieRoepkelaurie@... wrote:

Laurie

It sounds like you have so much on your plate. But Im very proud of

you for your stand on your friends drug problem. Right now I know

that he will probably resent you but in the end its whats best for

his future and the future of those he involves in his activities. I

dont blame you one bit for being worried, you have every right to be.

As far as pain control, I truly hope that they find a happy medium

for you that will bring you some relief soon. It seems like for alot

of us the viscious cycles of pain just seem to continue. It

certainly can make a person insane with the way our nervous system

works and its so hard to explain to those who have never

expereienced it.

Laurie, you are in my thoughts for a better day today. Enjoy

spending time with you neighbors dog.

Hugs

Donna

Laurie I am right with , praying for you both to have the strength and to have pain eased upped greatly. How long have you been on the Cymbalta? I just was put on it yesterday and got weeks worth of it at doctors office then will go get prescription filled. I am on 60mg taken in morning, is that how yours is Laurie? He and his nurse both said some patients have had up to 40% pain relief so expect it for me. Laurie, am really sorry all your dealing with, is just so sad and hard for you but please know I will pray for your strength. Please will you let me know how your body does with the Cymbalta, would like to know if we both have great pain relief which sure pray this is what you find so life eases.

Love

Laurie, I am sorry that you are having such a tough time right now. I can totally emapthize with you on so many levels..I also broke down at my last drs appt. I really hope you have the strength to do what's right and follow through with the sting. I know it's hard when you are turning in a friend..but maybe he will get the help he needs because of this and someday realize what you did was the best thing for him. I hope you can get some relief from your pain...and I know this stress isn't helping your pain level...try to no stress over this and know you are being the best friend you can be by turning him in...Hugs..GinnyRoepkelaurie@... wrote:
