    Sassy - what kind speed are you on today? HOW many posts? I read them all but damned if I know whats going on. Haha, I made that up. I make up stuff sometimes. Shocking, I know!



    I'm glad you liked my patriotic blip. I didn't follow through though. I mostly read and napped and napped. No oxy since 3 pm yesterday and just took off f-patch after about 115 hours. Pain is SOOO much better. Don't think I will need more meds this cycle. Not sure why I'm so sleepy, but I'm going for another nap!

    Phylloyoursofunny, I love it when you are feeling spunky. Your words to Blondiee touched me. I love you all so much.

    Yep - Teka is a kick, isn't she? I hope she  comes back after vacation and raises some fun & ruckus.

    Cami you're the best - you are doing a good job of keeping us hoppin along with Chevy and Duckster MIA. I wish you wouldn't naysay your brilliance  - you are one sharp kookie!!

    Jackie - so glad you are finally out of the closet! Come hang with us. We like lurkers, especially after they out themselves, or their friends goad them into it.

    OK - I have permission to harass ourSass:   Girl - what the hell are you ON? I'm not on anything, no alcohol, no benzodiazepenis, no opioids, no nuthin except celebrex (hee hee - didn't fix my typo back there). Omigod - Do you have ADHDxyzOHmeOHmy? Your battery runs and runs and runs and then we don't hear from you for 36-48 hours...what are you doing when you are gone from us - does someone lock you up for awhile? Do you lock yourself up? And your sentences run into each other are you a bad typist or can't spell or a reflection of what is happening in your brain you're so smart that all the brilliant stuff just keeps pouring out and you can't hold it back andeverythingstartsrunningintoeachother?Butit'sokbecauseyou'resowonderfulandhelpeveryoneandweloveyoudearly. 

    Sheesh, I'm tired, and I only did it for one paragraph. I need a nap.

    Sister Warriors

    I am so sorry for those of you who are in pain or having more complicated health issues.  I will pray daily that everyone gets at least a little relief.  I too am headed for a salpingo oophorectoy on the 18th of this month.  My MO already gave me a prescription for Femera as I could not tolerate the Tamoxifen for more than 6 days.  I have a large supply of Tamoxifen if anyone would like to have it free of charge.  I am also ready to pass on my cranial protheses (2 or them) for anyone who would like to have them and has a HUGH head like I do.  Just PM me if you are interested and I will send these items (or which ever one you want) to you immediately.  Happy July 4th ALL with Peace, Hugs, Prayers, Love and Blessings today and everyday in the future.

    shelleshinerchevyandphilyandidon'tknowwhotartedtherunonsentence,ilovethemb/cit'sagame tofiguireitoutlol.so glad your wit is back, coming up for air from the kiddies.You graduate the 29th, my B-day is the 30th and chevy's b-d is the 31st. My b-day used to be the 31st. Then when my twin and I had to have our b-certificates to get into highschool. we found out it was the 30th. Poor Mom took sooooo much ribbing. no one even thought to rib Dad. It was "MOM how could you forget your babies b=day, and you had two? But I guess cuz she had 4 kids in diapers she was buzy , poor mom.

    Yes everything you said is absolutely true. hahahahah. Yes, I speed along on nothing. can you imagine on good asparagus?. Then yes, I just crash till I uncrash. Counselor has talked ADHD several times. It's a hoot when his ADHD meds are wearing off and I have an evening appointment. Some of our counseling sessions fly all over the place.

    I've gotten to liking separating the post b/c i can really go back and read. I think, which really, based on your analysis, I'm not catching as much as I think i am.

    phillybetterpain. how nice. I would love a blood test to see if any's still there. When I had the crani-brainsx. The anesthesia folks, I had 3, I was talking about trying to get someone to do a study of the prolonged use thing of fent. Either they were pacifying me, or they were interested. Talking away about doing a study and they were soon to be cutting into my head. Did the same for c-section. Asking this anethesia doc to do a airway lecture and being prepared for a csection b/c of toxemia. I worked sx for along time. Only thing weirder was a pshchologist who cancelled his vasectomy 3x's . Then went to sleep saying "bye, bye all you little spermies". Enjoy the rest of the night. :).

     Bernardi, you and JO are scheduled about the same time right? Some one else have a hyster bso-----spookiesmom? Good luck bernardi! spookie and JO

    Okay....  pretend you aren't there!  Wink  So I went outdoors, put Lacee on the picnic table, because she was having so much trouble with scratching, and her "hot-spots"....  I then cleaned her and put on Sulfodene, the "hot spot" medicine.  I knew it contained Sulfodene, and thought that was maybe something like Sulfa.  I looked it up...   It does not containe sulfa, which I am extremely allergic to..... BUT!!!!  It is this:

    http://www.orlandoskindoc.com/test.mercaptobenzothiazole.htm  And I read this and another article, about allergic reactions.......

    http://www.truetest.com/PatientPDF/Mercaptobenzothiazole-Patient-Info.pdf 

    And after I came in and washed my hands the itching STARTED!   I took a Claritin, and stuck my hands in a vat of Bag Balm w/ VitA & D ointment.

    I THINK that maybe somehow that is my PROBLEM!  I have been using this on her all the time, when I brush her, and I think when I pick her up or pet her, I am re-exposing my hands to this Sulfodene!  ????  I have long gloves to wear when I brush and clean her!  Even putting on her harness, etc, my hands are always touching her...  MAN I hope this is it! 

    Could it be this simple?  And nothing to do with Hormones? 

    And Flowers!  I'm so sorry for you!  I gave away a lot of Tamoxifen also!  We're here with you..... xoxoxo

    Chevy, Nitrile gloves are on there, check your nonsterile gloves. I just checked mine and it doesn't have an ingredient list.  Will wait for your post on yours and I call the manufacturer.

    Good morning ladies - That was after my last surgery in August last year - so the boys are now 6 and 3 and I have a few more grey hairs - but I am thankful for that..

    I have been stupid and lowered my dose of gabapentin by 300mg (usual dose is 3 - 600mg./day 1800mg total) and I am in pain this morning - not just the nerve pain but now the whole breast, sternum & ribs.. - this really sucks - guess I have to live with half a brain a little longer Undecided.. Really want off these pills... but its either them or narcotics and I would be even worse on them.
