Guest guest Posted March 3, 2000 Report Share Posted March 3, 2000 Tammy, Isn't that great 39 cents a card. It's called the Card Factory. They sell all kinds of paper products, party stuff, etc. and the cards are just terrific.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 Tracey, I wish I knew how to ease your pain a little bit. I've been having a painful week myself, and I'm not sure why. I hope you know that you have my thoughts and prayers (if you want them). Try and take it easy this weekend, hopefully the weather will be nice and you can just go sit in the sun. Try and relax. I know how hard it is when you are in that much pain, I usually try and divert my attention elsewhere. I sing at the top of my lungs with my favorite CD's (the soundtrack from RENT is one of my favorites), I'll try and read a challenging book, etc. Only a diversion, but sometimes it does help. Let me know how you are doing! Hugs to you! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 Jo excellent idea although my musical talents prolly arent as good as yours LOL i will do the same and listen to music and sing along .. well thats what i call it LOL LOL ... but it is a sure way to pre-occupy the mind even if its for a lil ...

Tracey I didn't use a whole box of Kleenex at 3;30 this morning but I do empathize. JO, I am so excited about your new doc! Who could ask for anything more, lalalalalala. lol Seriously, I am ecstatic about the lidocaine! Hugs, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2000 Report Share Posted March 13, 2000 Jo, Hope you are feeling better today and you had a good weekend. Mine was quiet, thank goodness. We didn't have Herb's boys this weekend but we have the next three! My pain has still not let up any and it's getting worse in the arm and hand now. I see my dr. on the 20th. If you're looking for a challenging book, try one by Higgens or Tami Hoag's " Stillwater " . I just got into suspence a few months back and have already read all of s books. I'm reading The Alibi by Brown now. Try and have a good let. Let me know how you're doing!! Keep on singing!! I never heard of the soundtrack of RENT?! I'm more into easy listening and country. I also like the christian singer W. . Hugs, Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Tracey, How are you feeling? Is the lidocaine working at all? It did help with the burning and spasms, I hope it eventually does you too. Let me know. I have been so busy I haven't made chat. I hope to tonight, but only from 8:30 to 9:00. Maybe we can compare notes then? Hugs, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Deb, Only getting about 20% pain relief so far. But it's constipating me. Called the doctor a few minutes ago and he asked if I could come in on Monday. Of course I had to say no cause it's my bday and Herb has plans so I have to go in on Wednesday at 10am. Also, he wants me to increase the Mexitil to 3X a day. If my other " problem " gets worse (how much worse can it get????) call before Wednesday. Well, tomorrow is Friday and then they aren't in the office over the weekend but of course they don't consider that. Right now I'm a little peeved needless to say. I am very uncomfortable here and my tummy hurts. Herb wants me to find a new doctor but I don't even know where to look. Not sure if I'll make chat or not. I'll try and we can chat then.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Hi, Excuse me for butting in here (?) but I have found natural Senna to be a very good laxative. It can be bought in pill form or Traditional Medicinals makes a tea of it called Smooth Move, no lie! I try to eat dried fruits and other roughage and drink alot of water, as my pain med can cause that also. Good luck, Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Hello Tracey Do you have Kiwi fruit for sale in shops near you? My father was diabetic and for some reason suffered from constipation. Mother fixed him by giving home two [washed] the sliced kiwi fruit still with the skins on. Sliced thinly the skins are not noticed, but between the skins and the internal seeds it is a sure fire fixit apparently. My Mother reckoned there was success with prunes but more with Kiwi fruit.It is a well known constipation solver here in New Zealand, I know of a number of other people who swear by it as well. Good luck, I imagine it is uncomfortable. Due to adhesions, I am quite the opposite unfortunately. Regards Margot Re: rsd Tracey > > > > Tracey, How are you feeling? Is the lidocaine working at all?

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 , I'll give the pear juice a try. Can't do raisins or apple juice. Thanks for the suggestion!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 Margot, Yes, I believe we do have Kiwi for sale here. I had it once a couple of years ago. I'm rather a picky eater and really don't eat veggies and just a bit of fruit. I'll give it a try though. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 Okay, here's my cure for constipation. A handful of WOW potato chips a day. The synthetic fat keeps you from clogging up but don't overdo or you might be on the opposite end. Felice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2000 Report Share Posted April 29, 2000 Ahh, therein may lay a good basis of your problem then. You must injest adequate fibre to facilitate easy voiding. Fibre is found in various things but both fruit and vegs have large fibre content normally. 1 or 2 kiwi fruit a day would certainly facilitate easy voiding. What price fussy when it equates the terrible effects of constipation. Try it for a week! If you do not want to eat then on their own chop them add to yoghurt or breakfast cereal or wizz them up in a food processor with some orange juice or apple juice and drink them, well maybe you would have to spoon them. What about a smoothie? Margot Re: rsd Tracey > > > > > > > > Tracey, How are you feeling? Is the lidocaine working at all?
