Question

November 15, 2008

Hopefully so, my husband is away for a while so I couldnt get to the

other doctors till he got back anyway. She has all of my records from

the other doctors (She has to send paperwork to the insurance company

every 6 months for me to continue with the other doctors)

I have been neglecting some things she wanted me to do so I am

gearing myself up to get them done or else I am going to get fussed

at. LOL!!

Thanks for the advice,

Cherese

I got the plates n tags but I still worry about the people who could be worse. I

solved my guilt by using the handicap spaces only when I need them. If I am

having a good day n I can make the walk, then that's what I do. I feel less

guilty when I am in lots of pain n can't barely walk at all. I look young,

healthy n normal. U can't tell by looking at me.....

I see them abused all the time n people parking there who don't have stickers at

all. Makes me so angry!! Wish I was an undercover cop so I could get them....I

have a bad habit of confronting those who r parked illegally....I always

disliked the spaces being abused but I am much more vocal now that it has a more

personal impact.

I had to get 2 or 3 temporary ones before I could get a permanent one. They were

convinced at my age it wasn't permanent. I showed them...LOL.

What did you have to go through to get one?

I have been debating on it because sometimes a walk from the parking

lot doesnt bother me much and sometimes I rather not walk at all. I

have always said I didnt want one because I didnt want to take

the park away from some little old lady with a walker. But the more I

look around me I see people abusing it and I am hurting making the trip

from the end of the parking lot to the door. So my mind is made up.

Plus all of my family keeps telling me I need to get one.

hi group I too have a handicapped place card I have actually been accused

by the police in our area of using my parents card at 42 I have had my

place card for almost 8 years I too only use it on my bad days which are

coming a lot more lately just last night I was grilled again but I was so

ticked I stood there and had the officer stay just before I exited my car 2

very young girls in school jackets and stiletto heels cut off a very elderly

gentleman to steal his handicapped spot when the came running out of the

store he questioned them to find that they had actually stolen the place card

from the lady that lived near them she is only 35 but in a wheel chair the

rest of her life I think that store surveillance should have a guard watch

the parking lot cameras and call police whenever there is an illegally parked

car or someone that you can easily tell not the owner of the car or give them

the authority to question the driver and have the vehicle towed

pulled into a spot marked for his ramp equipped van one day to a young guy

park in the lined area next to him the kid parked just far but just so close

instead of off the front like hes supposed to when he came out he discovered

the hard way the lill idiot had moved his car closer to the van on purpose

when he went to put the ramp down he peeled the whole side of the kids car

wide open armand called the police when they got there the kid not only

had the damage to his DADDYS car but it got towed and hid dad got a 500 fine

for blocking a disabled vets vehicle lol and had to pay armand for the damage

to the front of the ramp justice finally

Same thing here, I had to have several temp. tags before I got a

permanent. It was the age thing. Who wants to believe at 18 you

need a permanent handicap parking tag.

Hi All

I know what you mean about people abusing there handicap tags my

neice has Cerebral Palsy and my brother in-law never takes the tag

out of the window he uses it for himself even when she is not in the

car. I yell at him all the time for it, he will say I am only running

in the store for just a minute and then he says beside you are

handicapped and I say well I am not getting out of the car. Now my

sister sometimes can't even find a spot to park when she has my neice

with her and it is so hard to get the wheel chair out in a regular

parking spot. Some people just really don't care they just use it to

get the cloest spot to the door. I have a tag but I only use it when

my husband and I go grocery shopping and I am having a really bad day

otherwise i will not use it.

Keep On Smiling

> If your doctor will sign for you to get the handicap sticker it

doesn't mean that you have to use it If you are having a good day and

feel like walking then do it. But, it doesn't hurt to have the

sticker for those days when you don't feel you can handle the walking.

>

> Good for you for realizing that your husband would be willing to

abuse your handicap sticker. Unfortunately there are many more people

like your husband than there are people like you. Just look around,

you see them everyday. You see handicapped people using the spaces to

let someone else run into a store. If the handicap person is staying

in the vehicle they don't need to be parked in a handicap spot.

Hi,

Exactly or she has to squeeze and carry my neice between the two

car to get her to the back of the car to the wheelchair and then the

people that own the car next to her look at her like she is wasteing

there time by having her doors open and in there way. I have yelled

at some of the people and she say don't worry about it, they are just

close minded people, it makes me so angry like you can't see that the

child is hanicapped, no all you see is that someone is taking a few

minute in your precious day. Some people need to learn to slow down

and appreciate life you know.

No, but they have some similar activity. Prednisolone is the metabolic

product of the synthetic prednisone in the liver. For anti-inflammatory

effects, it is about 4x as powerful as hydrocortisone.

Some people are just so stupid!!

I had a situation where I was getting into the car and since I just

did quite a bit of walking in the store with hubby my nerve pain was

flaring and the leg spasms were about to start. So I was moving

really slow. While my husband was holding the door open for me and

helping me in a lady pulled up wanting the handicap spot next to us.

She sat there like right behind me looking mad that it was taking so

long for me to get in the car.

My husband got mad and started saying that there were a ton of

handicap spots open (I was hurting too much to say anything) but she

just kept sitting there looking angry. He got me in the car and

closed the door. She pulled into her spot got out, grabbed a toddler

from the back seat and walked in carrying him. Needless to say hubby

was mad.

Hey Guys!

This is to Ms_Nikki...

I am sorry that you had to go through that...don't you just love the

ignorance of some rude, childish people?!?

It is people like that I would love to strike down with my RSD...just for a

few hours....but in those hours they would have to keep the schedules that we

keep, do the endless, thankless daily routine that we keep....just like every

other mom has...but we are in pain while doing it.

You hang in, and know that all folks are not so rude and ignorant.

Love,

Kathy G.

Thanks Chuck that's exactly what I wanted to know.

Perhaps there are circumstances where HC should be given rather than

Prednisolne for anti inflammatory conditions without the side effects.

- you are NOT going to worry about Armour, you are going to get well and be

very happy and positive and throw all your concerns down the lavatory pan.

Worry causes stress on the adrenals, which you don't want right now 'cos you

have spent so long getting them better. Be happy, it's Christmas, you have got

your Armour, your HC worked - think positive. Wait and see what Armour actually

DOES to your body and stop worrying that it might cause problems. You should

never be negative in your thinking. Just telling other members that you are

scared of using Armour makes them wonder if there is something to be scared about,

and there just isn't . If you have decided to use Armour, then be like Mr

Asquith said and " Wait and See " .

Luv -

Sheila

I always worry when I start new medication that I

might be allergic to

it, if I was allergic to armour would I know by now? I have took half a

grain today, thanks. I see it contains fillers etc like thyroxine does

December 19, 2008

No sheila I am NOT going to worry about taking armour!!! lol

I just have this problem with new stuff, and being alergic to it! I know its irrational. I wont worry

Ambien. I have taken it for the past 8 years. A lot of docs dont like the idea

of people taking it long term but I love it. It is the one script that I would

NEVER give up.

December 29, 2008

When I have them, I will take two 350 mg Soma's so that not only do I

get to sleep at night but it really helps with the muscle stiffness

that I suffer from when I get up. Some times the stiffness in my back

is so bad that I can barely walk, forget bending over or trying to sit

down for a little while. And when I don't have that, I will take,

normally on a regular basis, an over the counter sleeping aid that is

sold at Walmart. Without an aid to sleep I normally sleep about five

hours due to the pain and stiffness, and that is not counting how many

times I wake up during the night. But, the best suggestion that I can

give you is to get a really good bed to sleep in.

My aunt Cleo has a bed made by Denver Mattress and when I sleep on it I

don't have near the problems falling asleep nor getting up in the

mornings. I wish that I could sleep on that bed all the time. It was

like a $1000 to buy, but in my opinion it is well worth it.

I am fixing to start a job that I just recently got after moving here

to s, Texas. My aunt is a CFO at the local hospital and knows

about my medical problems so she found me the perfect job. I will be a

weekend ward at the nursing home where all I do is answer phones, a

little filing, and getting a blanket or two for the residents. I am so

excited since I have not worked in nearly or right at three years. It

will be part time only since I may be starting school this spring

semester again, my aunt wants me to work on getting my master's degree

in Physician Assistant. I am thinking about it.

Your Friend,

Barbara
