Guest guest Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi Lottie, acupuncture has not always helped, some things it does and some it doesn't. I had back ache this morning, but not for the rest of the day, I will see how it goes. I know, that something that has been around for 3,000 years must have some merit. Surgery would be my last resort, I am just hoping this will go away as most of our aches and pains do. The body can't get to be 80 + without something wearing out or breaking down, we just have to accept some things. I don't like taking pain pills. Sometimes making fun of something is the best medicine. My kids will say, come on old lady, it can't be that bad, let's go shopping, or let's go get a drink! Or my oldest will say, geesh Mom, why don't we just take you out and shoot you! I have such nice kids! Bobby a ( Bobby ) Doyle, dob 12/17/29 DX 5/1995 Interferon 9 weeks/Hydroxyurea 5 years 02/2000 to 06/2002 Gleevec trial, OHSU 06/2002 Gleevec/Trisenox Trial, OHSU 06/2003 Gleevec/Zarnestra Trial, OHSU 04/2004 Sprycel Trial, MDACC, CCR in 10 months 04/2008 XL228 Trial, U of Mich. 01/2009 PCR 5.69 04/2009 Ariad Trial AP24534 09/2009 PCR 0.01 11/2009 PCR 0.034 02/2010 PCRU #840 Zavie's Zero Club From: Lottie Duthu <lotajam@...> Subject: [ ] Pain and laughter " CML " < > Date: Saturday, July 24, 2010, 6:50 PM  Dear Bobby, You never cease to amaze me with your life experiences and your way of talking about it. I know you made everyone laugh as much as I did. Maybe I laughed a little harder, because I know you and I expect the unexpected. LOL No one can say that you did not have an interesting life. Your acupuncturist sounds like a winning ticket and I hope you get to cash in, the type of pain you describe is enough to take the joy out of everything, even your bong. LOL. How are you doing with that anyway, still using it? I told Jimmy about it and he said he would try to get some for me, but I haven't made a decision. I'll bet my grandchildren could find it. I saw some women giving it to their children for ADHD & OCD. They put it in food and the kids held their noses while they took it, but it changed them completely, while before they were incorrigable and unmanageable. I looked into the Marinol, but it is over $10 for one capsule and it is as addictive as any other drug. I don't think marijauna has been proven to be addictive, but I know someone else will be able to thrash that out better than me. For a lot of people, acupuncture is their salvation. We have only one doctor here who practices that discipline, but it is not covered by Medicare, so I have not used her because of the costs. I did find a doctor in New Orleans years ago when my private insurance covered it, but it was of no benefit to me, so I am not sold on it for myself, even while it may be good for others. Have a pain free weekend everybody, including me. LOL xoxo Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi Bobby & Lottie, Have you tried a new mattress? I splurged a few years ago and bought a sleep number bed. Have NO regrets. When I sleep anywhere else, I wake up with a back ache. Sounds like a commercial.haha. I hope your pains go away. My husband has a lot of aches and pains, he often says to himself, " I should go out back and shoot myself. " It makes me cringe even though I know he's not serious. Just sounds awful. Have a good and I hope you get feeling better soon.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I agree about the Sleep Number (Select Comfort) bed! My husband and I got one (a king-size) when I was pregnant (at age 44) about 11 years ago--and we have never regretted that decision! It is truly an incredible bed~! I love being able to make it softer or firmer depending on how I am feeling at the moment--and my back is never sore in the morning when I get up nowadays. And my husband can do the same for his own side of the bed. We do sound like commercials, don't we? THey should pay us. Hope all are feeling well and no pain soon--either pot or moxibustion or whatever does the trick--I like cuddling up with my chihuahua and some Ben and Jerry's--anything but letting our kids take us out back and shoot us, those little dickens!~ Vicki > > > > From: Lottie Duthu <lotajam@...> > > Subject: [ ] Pain and laughter > > " CML " < > > > Date: Saturday, July 24, 2010, 6:50 PM > > > > Â > > > > Dear Bobby, > > > > You never cease to amaze me with your life experiences and your way of talking about it.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I would love a sleep number bed, but I have something similar to a Craftmatic, it is electric, and needs a mattress that can go up and down. It is the best bed for when the GERD acts up, I can put it in a sitting position.  I used to have a water bed, loved it to death, it was so comfortable, I was young then, getting into one now would pose more than one problem, getting out would even be worse! I have started PT, and that's a trip, I have to get on the floor to do exercise, they call it " homework " .  Getting on the floor is almost like getting into a waterbed, I can get there, but getting back up is a tricky process, the old bones just don't move like they used to. Bobby Bobby a ( Bobby ) Doyle, dob 12/17/29 DX 5/1995 Interferon 9 weeks/Hydroxyurea 5 years 02/2000 to 06/2002 Gleevec trial, OHSU 06/2002 Gleevec/Trisenox Trial, OHSU 06/2003 Gleevec/Zarnestra Trial, OHSU 04/2004 Sprycel Trial, MDACC, CCR in 10 months 04/2008 XL228 Trial, U of Mich. 01/2009 PCR 5.69 04/2009 Ariad Trial AP24534 09/2009 PCR 0.01 11/2009 PCR 0.034 02/2010 PCRU #840 Zavie's Zero Club From: Vicki <vickistu@...> Subject: Re: [ ] Pain and laughter Date: Thursday, July 29, 2010, 1:18 AM  I agree about the Sleep Number (Select Comfort) bed!
