Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi ya'll I was wondering how each of you is doing. I hope your all ok? I worry about each of you. You know, like Momma Hen. LOL :-) Me? My belly hurts. Ive been eating crap for a week, and not taking my sups. I know, shame on me. I will do better this week. Last thursday the doc gave me Oxycontins for Fibro pain, and took me off the Tramadol. Friday my PC got a bug, and kicked me off line. That messed up my head. Saturday I realized I was two months late in collecting the rent on my Dad's billboards down in Arkansas. OOPZ. :-( [ I handle that business for him because he is 90, and it pays the taxes.] Sunday didnt happen. LMAO Today Ive barely functioned. I did call the Pharm about a screwup in my meds. They gave me the wrong heart pills. Not good. Im glad I checked. Otherwise life is good. I hope it is for each of you all too. Be well my friends. love don in ks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hey Don, I've been really busy and struggling to keep up. My TX meds come tomorrow but I can't start till after a few more test. I have to get a colonoscopy, seem my ct scan hasn't even arrived at Hopkins but the notes indicate some colon trouble.I feel like I have artheritis again. I'm right back to that crappy fatigued feeling as last year. I'm looking forward to restarting tx, the sick feeling from tx is better than the way I feel now. I almost couldn't get out of my dress Saturday, I can barely lift my arms and my hands are so swollen again. Mentally I feel drugged.I still run my ass off and mand the fort with all the kids but it's getting tough. I really am NOT looking forward to colonoscopy but if it has something to do with the chronic ab and side pain my ass is theirs.Im gonda freaked about sedation, I ve been sober for so long outside of trying a couple head meds, I still haven't gave the lexipro a try, that Im more nervous about that. Anyway...another busy day and 1 kid home sick. I don't even bother to try and eat anything Im not supposed to I can't stand the burning and pain...'s calls out to me as I drive by and I just wave with tears in my eyes! I ate a grilled wrap from Mcs and paid the next day...ALL DAY both ends. Hope you have a better week! c ya Pam [ ] How is everyone doing? Hi ya'll I was wondering how each of you is doing.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Has anyone else noticed the " stiff neck " that is a side of Tramadol? For weeks I have felt like I slept on a bad pillow... Pain and , like a muscle-pull when I turn my head...just wondering if it is the Tramadol or if I should throw yet another pillow out the nearest window LoL . http://facebook.com/people/andTrudy-Kinsey/1340460877 " "A well- behaved woman never made history" http://allrecipes.com/cook/TrudyK/profile.aspx On May 25, 2010, at 1:28 AM, Christ <ludichrist2000@...> wrote: Hi ya'll I was wondering how each of you is doing.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi Trudy Yes, the stiff neck migraine syndrone with Tramadol. I just got my GP to change me over to Oxycontin 10MG. I didnt know if I was have a intra-drug reaction or was allergic. Its good to know someone else noticed the same sides, and I doubt your taking the same scripts as I am. Trudy, tell your doc to put you on something else, and get you off the Tramadol. If your going to have to take something that isnt real good for your liver anyways, make sure it works. love don in ks Hi ya'll I was wondering how each of you is doing. I hope your all ok?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 So now you are on the heavy pain meds Don!!!

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 CherylMy humble opinion would be that your daughter should perhaps start her treatment "before" beginning her education to be an RN. Or hopefully she doesn't have to go to work AND school at the same time. I believe that she could do one or the other.As for you, I believe that the liver biopsy is the most important piece of information you need to complete the whole picture here. From the results of that, you could then make a more informed decision about doing treatment now or later.Gloria Hi Don, Try to keep up on your sups! I hope you will be feeling better with your new meds. I apologize for not corresponding with the group lately. My daughter is graduating high school and we have been so busy with that. She is graduating with her CNA & GNA, she will be starting a full time job with a local geriatric nursing place soon. Hopefully in the fall she will begin classes to continue getting her RN. She has an apt with her gastro on June 5th to see about her starting tx, when we last saw them they wanted her to lose about 30 lbs which she did and let her finish out her senior year before beginning tx. I went to see my gastro last month and told him that the reason I haven't been back since I first saw him in Sept 09 was because I wasn't ready and knowledgeable enough to start tx like he wanted me to do right away. He seemed a little annoyed with me and when I told him I wanted to wait to try the new treatment coming out, he said that he didn't think it would be coming out as soon as I thought it was and I should begin the tx they have now, he said he would know in 3 months if I was going to respond to it or not. So I don't know what to do. I am going to get my liver biopsy in July and some more blood tests and then I go back to see him about 2 weeks after the biopsy to figure out what I am going to do. I am feeling good, I have no symptoms other than regret But it is what it is and I need to get in a better frame of mind for me and for my daughter, that is what I am going to focus on from here on out!

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 FIND A BETTER DOCTOR. ONE THAT KNOWS ADDICTION A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THIS ONE. Hi Don & all,Well I just got back from getting my mammogram lots of fun NOT! Doctor has me scheduled for CT scan and colonoscopy later this week. She took me off of the ambien don't really know why because now I can't sleep again and am really experiencing a lot of body aches and because of my past drug use she won't give me pain med really annoying! I have been clean and sober eight years and now because of past bad choices I am punished by not receiving any pain relief! I still have not seen the liver specialist and am hoping he will be more sympathetic.marie in CA"Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I wish I was near to cook for you. I would love that. I bake fresh breads and rolls a couple times each week. I dont eat much except the whole wheat stuff..but its all fun to knead and pound ! I grill almost every night...smoked turkey legs and a pork tendarloin yesterday. Gonna can homemade Salsa and Apple butter and my Healthy Tomato ( kinda like spaghetti Sauce, but not) Chunky marinara.. So dissapointed with you about the Meals on Wheels. http://www.facebook.com/people/andTrudy-Kinsey/1340460877 " A well-behaved woman never made History" Trudy From: Christ <ludichrist2000@...>WebWarriors grp < >Sent: Fri, June 25, 2010 7:49:02 PMSubject: [ ] How is everyone doing? Hi my friends No one has posted much today so I was just wondering how you all were doing. I am presuming that your all having a BBQ outside in this wonderful weather, and everything is good. I sure hope so. Today 'Meals on Wheels' started for me. I was told that they would come by between 11 AM and noon. No one knocked so I began to get worried. I called, got the 'leave a message' thing, did, and sat here for a bit. Then a voice in my head said, 'look on the porch'. Thank God for all my hair. LOL :-) Ha, wouldnt you know it. They had come by, didnt bother to knock, and just left my 3 weekend meals sitting on the porch. How cool is that? The first meal for friday sucked. A little piece of chicken, maybe two tablespoons each of white rice, and mixed veggies [out of a can?]. There was a slice of white bread, and one of those 1/2 pint cartons of milk. OMG Im afraid to look in the bag at the other two meals. Now mind you, these meals are supposed to cost Medicaid 3.50 each. The only thing I can say is......more Medicaid/Medicare fraud??? and the waiter is terrible. Im not complaining, but I am a little bit disappointed. The whole idea of doing this was to make sure I have at least one good meal a day for when I start HCV treatment, as I may be too sick to cook. I ate, and perhaps 1/2 hour later my stomach began to burn from acid reflux. Whoopie. How exciting. I dont think I like the cook either. LOL :-) Another chapter of don's crazy life. Stay tuned, and stay well my friends. love don in ks I wish I was near to cook for you . I would love to.
