Ok got my part fixed, forgot how my name was in there so I'm glad I had the link

from you Nick! LOL Now the question(s) of the day... why are you and Joe

hiding, or should I ask what are your hidden identities?? LOL jk I know that's

private info, just teasin ya's :) And no, in case anyone is wondering, I do not

have Emerald eyes... I have Hazel... but HazelEyz just doesn't have the same

effect LOL :)

Have a great night all, I need to lay down for a bit, back is killing me and

can't even enjoy dinner :( Wonder if we could do that meeting you all were

talking about not too long ago and just see about a meeting room with beds

instead of chairs so we could really be comfy? Well, at least it was hopefully a

funny thought, all those professionals in their suits and sitting in stiff

chairs and us in sweats layin on beds in our meeting room " Can the next person

please roll their bed up to the board and pinpoint where their pain is without

pointing yet again to their surgeon and using the hotels knives? " LOL The best

thing about a trip like that besides meeting people who know how each of us

feels and sharing useful info is the use of a pool/whirlpool for a couple days,

that would be heaven enough for me... outdoor pool in the 80 degree weather

would be a plus! :) I have got to lay down now or else lol ttyl

I do think you're WAY Overdue tho!!! LOL

been reading, I seem to have missed most everyones ages.. not trying to be

nosy, just curious I guess with how young/old everyone has been when we've

been struck down with disabling back/neck/etc problems. I just turned

*Choke* 35 in February... as I said, my daughter is 9, will be 10 in May.. I

was never married, dated her dad for 12 years then 7years ago decided I

didn't want to live with an alcoholic anymore, I couldn't take it. That's my

life story LOL Born and still living in sburg (Toledo), Ohio, wishing

I could move anywhere warm, the cold here kills my back.

>

Connie, I know what you mean. I'm 38 now, and have had back problems for 8

years, so I really haven't sought out

female companionship. As bad as I feel, sometimes it's tough to keep it

from flowing onto other people. I didn't

want to get involved, and now that this possible third surgery is looming,

I'm definitely just not looking for a social life.

> Anyhow....As for the Neurontin... I never had the negative side effects of

weight gain, etc, I'm wondering if I should have just stuck with that pain

med.... or if I will be ok with this one if I take it at bedtime as I was

told, I'll have to see how my taste buds are acting in the mornings. It's

weird, it's almost like my tongue where I put the pills is numb when I take

a drink, that feeling in a way, then again not a numb feeling, just a

different taste...it's hard to explain, hopefully someone understands how I

mean tho.

>

I had the weight gain with neurontin. I would eat even when I wasn't

hungry, more than even a big guy like me usually does. I'm

glad I read about Topomax, and now the side effects, so I've increased my

fibre intake and liquid consumption.

> Oh quick background fyi ( and others) who may not remember me... 2

unsuccessful L5-S1 Surgeries, currently on duragesic patch, percocet and now

topamax instead of neurontin ... Pain started Feb of 2000, put off work May

15, 2000, first surgery March 2001, second surgery October 2001 (same disk

re-ruptured 2 weeks after first surgery) .... in the Very shortest way I can

put it all.... LOL :) Did go thru the meds, then physical therapy, then

injections, etc etc etc

>

Connie, what's next for you? I'm hoping that you can see someone that can

help you with the pain. Would it be surgery, or a TENS

unit? Let us know.

> I wasn't chewing on the Topamax.. the taste question is because I just

started on Topamax and after I took them, Pepsi and foods, any foods as I'm

noticing more and more, are not tasting like they used to, so I was

wondering if anyone else had this side effect :) Thanks!

Connie, you have to admit that they do look like brown M & M mini's. :)

I make sure that those and my Elavil don't touch my tongue. They do

numb it for a bit.

Connie -

I didn't know that I was hiding. I don't access the group through . I

get all the posts as e-mail and I do a " reply "

and then delete the stuff that doesn't pertain to my reply. I am very

camera shy. I'm twice the person that I should

be. The last picture I had taken was of my Cervical scar by my surgeon

because he was surprised that

someone with diabetes and HBP could survive, much less recover from what I

went through. I've dodged

two bullets and looks like I'll try to dodge a third soon.

I've looked at the link that Nick pointed to, where are the pictures of the

group?

Hi Joe,

It seems that some time ago people like us were regulars posting and

decided to post their pics. Now we are the new kids on the block and

nobody took the chance to post some pics of themselves.

Mine are white, say " Top " on one side and " 25 " on the other... and odd but they

didn't give me a generic of them like they do with my other meds if possible

(except the Duragesic patch)...I wonder why yours are brown in color, you did

say they are the 25 dose right?

I'm not on Elavil but thanks for lettin me know about those numbing for a short

time in case my doc ever did put me on them. Oh I did want to tell everyone

also.. I quit smoking on March 15 after smoking for almost 10 years (the second

time of quitting, first time I quit was when I was pregnant with my daughter,

started back again when she was a couple months old) I stopped cold turkey,

don't know how the hell I managed to do it that way but I did and even more

shocking I've lost weight instead of gaining. Anyhow, it wasn't easy, I did

cheat a few times but got tired of feeling horrible b/c I was hiding it from my

daughter who was so proud of me. Of course NOW I get the $6 off a carton of

Marlboro coupons, geez haha :P

I think pictures would be a super idea! It was really nice for me

to link Nick's " voice " to what he looks like - sure makes it more

personal. And may I say I appreciate the muscles! I just uploaded

mine last night.

LOL You goof!

Doc told me to stop taking them after the first time when I told her about the

no tasting, it's now Saturday about noon and I Still have no taste buds :( :( :(

Will have to see what happens when Monday comes around, doc told me to wait till

taste came back, take meds again and see if it happened again to make sure it

was the meds... but I don't know what else could have kicked off my taste buds

so fast! Ahh well lets hope I get them back, if I can't taste chocolate again

I'm a goner! lol

Nick, I was thinking about that this morning as well. The chronic

sinus infections I had, and subsquent surgery pretty much eliminated

my sense of smell. And prior to the surgery, some of the meds I was

on played havoc with smell as well.
