A bit better. Had to go to Urologist. I'm going to have a procedure under anaesthetic to see if I have IC (Interstitial Cystitis) on the 27th. Not scared about it, just want it done. If it is that, it causes a lot of pain and I have enough on my own thanks. My heavy doses of narcotics keep my body from realizing what kind of pain it's in. We'll see. Thanks for asking.

Connie...so good to see you back! We missed you
sueper and ??? someone else, the stories about the kids made my heart smile. Reminded me of my niece when she was young (2-5yrs) everytime I talked to her on the phone, right before I hung up she'd yell...WAIT...and I'd say "yes? or what?" and her response everytime was "I love you" and she'd giggle and hang up. God I love that kid
Barbe- sorry about the flare! I'm starting to wonder if the rheumatologist I was seeing wasn't right the first time when she said she thought I had Fibromyalgia. Then I had some c reactive protien markers and something else come back elevated and she changed her mind..but from what I know, it sure feels like I do. I hope the Interstitial Cystitis is negative. I know it goes hand in hand with Fibrymyagia, but you do have enough going on -so fingers crossed you don't get one more added to to the pot! I so had to laugh when I read your comment about no one telling you to exercise too...some people don't get that it does get to a point where you can barely move, let alone exercise. Yes, most days it does help -but sometimes it really is THAT bad.
Harley...can I have some of your thyroid meds? I need a pick me up too
Did you get to meet Shirley for lunch a bit ago? I think you were supposed to....? Regardless, say hi for me -I never "see" her here anymore.Leisaparis...I hope your aches and pains are nothing more than wear and tear. You know the drill though, if it hangs around and you're worried, get it checked. I walked around for almost 2 weeks thinking this pain in my foot was nothing..only to find out I had a stress fracture in my foot!!
my only gripe is - I hate waiting for test results They should just tell us right then and there whats going on. Ugh
Is it happy hour yet? I need a bloody mary

today my boss started a daily record sheet for us to put down our time spent entering data - we have a minimum 30 enteries per hour - this is on everyones job description - all 10 of us. of course i'm sure it's aimed toward easing me out the door (not paranoid am i????). pressure of course, makes me anxious which makes me slower but i still kept my count just above 39 entries. one of my friends from a different section stopped by my desk today to tell me she was just diagnosed with melanoma. i gave her a hug & we talked for quite awhile. just when i'm deep in my own pity party, i'm jolted back to the real world & realize how fortunate i really am. bless you all for being here.

Navygirl,
Yes, I saw Shirley, when I went to see my onc., I think, back in January.... No, maybe she couldn't make it that day. I did go back to Wilmington for something else, at the beginning of Feb., and then I did meet with Shirley. We met at Burger King.
I gave her the shirt. She said to tell you THANKS!!! How are you doing?? Did you say that you might have Fibromyalgia? Gosh, I hope not.
I had a few drinks tonight, before dinner.... I could use another... no... wait... then I might not sleep tonight... heck, I am not sleeping at night anyway... what the HELL??

Here's my bitch - I so want to drink or get high some days, but I know I can't. Been sober for over 20 years and still some days the stress of it all just gets to me and I want to check out. But I can't. I do imagine it - a nice buzz from a couple of bourbons, or a sleep-inducing hit or two from a bong. Funny that it's sometimes enough. Sometimes it makes it rougher. I just can't afford to go there - I have to present in the moment and sometimes the moment SUCKS! That's my vent for today.

BARBE~~ A fellow fibro girl!! I am so sorry that you have to deal with this too and for anyone with fibro who is also going through breast cancer. The cancer treatments can just somehow intensify any of our fibro episodes. It gets hard to separate which symptoms are from our cancer and which are from the fibro. Days when it takes at least 20 minutes to get out of bed because we have to have help from hubby just to loosen up the joints enough to just stand up!! Gotta love it!! And it totally sux that along with it comes the IC. Now we have learned that having normally lower body temps can elevate our risks of fibromyalgia, CFS, and even breast cancer.
Hope every bitcher moaner and groaner on here today will have a better day tomorrow and in the days to come. But I am so glad to have this place to come and unload! Thanks guys!!

Connie,
In regards to mixing the alcohol with Darvocet, I would definitely not recomend you do that. Even if it is just one light beer, Darvocet is an extremely dangerous drug all by itself, you don't want to increase the risk of side effects by drinking beer with it. There have been thousands of deaths caused by side effects of Darvocet, and consumer activist groups have been trying to get it pulled from the market for over 30 years. One consumer activist group called Public Citizen called Darvocet "the deadliest prescription drug in the United States", citing its links to thousands of deaths. If I were you, I would ask your doctor to put you on a different pain relief medication that does not have the potentially deadly side effects of Darvocet, maybe Vicodin or Codeine. If you want some information on the side effects of Darvocet and the recent litigation that the drug manufacturer is facing, you can check out http://www.DarvocetSideEffectsLawyer.com. Hopefully you can find a medication that does not carry the risks that Darvocet does.

Hi all, Well everything came back CLEAN, NO CANCER. However they have NO idea what's causing all the pain. He wants me to try to control it with some mild pain meds and if that doesn't work then he'll try steroids for inflammation. I really don't want to go that route. I'm finally after a year & a 1/2 just now starting to loose the extra weight I gained when I was on steroids the first time with the chemo. I had gotten up to 214 lbs. When they weighed me yesterday I was at 203. Going very slowly, but maybe that way it will stay off. So I really don't want to gain any. Thanks for all the prayers, they helped. God Bless you all.

Sorry, Didn't get home till late. Have so may things to do before Wednesday. Going on a small trip. Just down to Branson, Mo. for @ 4 days. Myself, my mom & my girlfriend. Leaving all the men at home. Really need to get away from all the crap for awhile, work, the old man, kids, etc. Really need to clear my head and think of other things besides them for a little while. So hopefully will be able to just have a really good time and think of nothing and just relax. Leisa

Harley, That SUCKS.
We have two military bases close by, they are constantly in the air with helicopters, giagantic carriers, regular planes and superjets. One day I was driving home and got to a spot where I could see them jumping from helicopters into the river!!
My sister works on one base, at the medical facility and she sees sometimes thousands of troops in a week either coming home or shipping out. She has to innoculate them and has had ones with tattoos all up and down their arm but faint at the sight of a little bitty needle. Also, this weekend I read about a young family who's home on base burned and they lost everything, two adults and SIX kids. I'm working with another gal to send donations down there for them. I hurt everytime I hear of another loss of life over there. Can't imagine how it would feel to be a parent of a young person on the front line. Then to get that kind of news, my heart goes out to the family.

Leisa, hope you had a good time in Branson! I live about 30 min north of there in Ozark. I used to work in Branson and I just went down to a friends lake house for the afternoon last Saturday.
I've had a crappy morning- I got set off by something really stupid- DH was showing me his technique for doing a minor household task of filtering this yogurt like kefir stuff we make- I had a technique, he had come up with a different one- and so he showed me his and I just hated it- the crap was running down the sides of the jar and it really doesn't matter, but I just got really incensed and meanwhile his ride to work is here and he's leaving, and I'm irrationally pissed off.
I had a meltdown and have been crying off and on since. I've got to be PMSing or something, I feel unable to deal with anything . I have to get my taxes done TODAY , my dad is going to give me money to put in my IRA to offset anyting I might owe cause I didn't have any taxes withheld from my unemployment that was my only source of income in 2010. So he's got to have a few days to transfer the money. I may not even owe at all, but the task is just so daunting and my meltdown has put me in a very negative mental state where I feel unable to deal with anything. so I'm here to rant and get it off my chest so maybe I can pull myself together and get something done.
