Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hi, Donna. I'm so sorry your head is paining you again. Wish I could sneak in and wave it all away. I'm not doing to hot myself today. My rash has just gotten raw, and I'm sleeping a lot all of a sudden, so that means a flare is happening. It will pass, but each time seems harder to make a comeback. I thought the Plaquenil was working and maybe it is, but you get a few extra days of feeling pretty good, and WHAM! I just never get used to being unpleasantly surprised. LOL You take care, and here's hoping this migraine is a short one.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hi Mike, Will you be needing to go to see your doc if you are in a flare or do you just try to get through it and call the doc later? What do you think is going on? I hate this disease! I know it could be worse, but there are so many in our group right now that just need a healing touch. Please keep me posted on how you are doing. I am praying for you, my friend. Love, Donna Re: Mike Hi, Donna. I'm so sorry your head is paining you again. Wish I could sneak in and wave it all away. I'm not doing to hot myself today.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Donna, Thanks for the prayers and kind words. I'm really not half bad, as compared to other flares...so far. I am always cautiously optimistic any more, because I have made the mistake of going with the upturn and doing too much, only to be slammed back into bed, again. So, I am trying to take things a bit easier this time. Also, I have a dinner engagement Friday night for a Crab feed, and I don't want to miss it. I only get fresh Dungeness Crab about once a year, if that, so I am looking forward to seeing my friends and having all the crab I can consume. LOL They serve pasta and salad and rolls, too, but I usually just eat crab and salad. Used to be, when the price was fairly low, I would get enough to feed a crowd and invite my friends and family over for a feed. Too expensive these days for that, so Friday will be a real treat. Keep your fingers crossed that I feel well enough to go. I am retaining water like mad, again. Seems to go with the flare of the skin sores, fatigue, and general feeling of ennui (as they used to say in old French novels). I was up more than down today, so that is a good sign. More later, hope you get some sleep my friend. You don't need the insomniac crown, either. Love, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Hi Mike, Well, I am sure hoping you are feeling good on Friday so you can go to the Crab feed. It sounds like a lot of fun and you deserve it. Just try not to overdo between now and then and hopefully things will kind of stay on an even keel. Do you usually retain water when you are in this kind of flare? Can your doc give you Lasix or something to help you get rid of the water you are retaining? I know what you mean about being cautiously optimistic. I am almost afraid to say I feel good anymore because when I start feeling normal, something always slaps me down. I am just thankful to be migraine free tonight. Boy, that last one was a humdinger, but thank God it's gone. I don't know what in the world sets those things off. I guess it's probably a number of things for me. The migraine meds I have though, seem to really work. I may have to take more than one dose but usually by the second dose, it's on it's way out. Just leaves me feeling drained and not worth much after. Take care, my friend, and let me know how you and the boys are doing. Love, Donna Re: Mike Donna, Thanks for the prayers and kind words.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Donna, I am doing ok today, except for being the potty princess again. But, that is the way of life for me these last few months, especially. I am experimenting with not taking my hormone pills this week to see if it will help me tone down the rash on my body. I have strange and unpredictable allergic reactions to things that have never bothered me before, and that is the last medication I have to try going without to see if it has any effect at all. I hesitate to stop the premarin because of my history with depression and bitchiness, but since I take Prozac, too, I may get away with it for a week, which is what the doc is asking me to try. So, here goes. LOL If you notice I am getting really crabby, or not responding, you can bet it's probably the lack of hormones. Sheesh. This bloody autoimmune crap is never ending, isn't it? Anyway, I will give a full report on the crab feed when I get into my mailbox on Saturday. Don't drink, so shouldn't have a hangover from alcohol, but may have a bit of sleeping in to do, because of fatigue that morning. I don't get out much, so this will be a real treat. How are you doing today? Glad your migraine took a hike, for now. I just hate those things. Can't escape 'em, no matter what you do. Take care, honey.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Hey, there, Brat. Well, I AM a fat, farty old woman...Pffft! And, that's the truth, to quote Edith Ann of Laugh In fame. LOL I am being the Potty Princess again today, but am feeling better in other respects. My skin sores are just that, SORE. I've used all the stuff the doc gave me, and herbals, and you name it, but nothing is helping it. So, the dermy said to try eliminating another one of my meds to see if it might be aggravating the rashes. The only med we haven't tried eliminating is my Premarin, so I stopped it today. I have to go without the hormones for a week. Jeez! I hope the kids survive it! LOL How are you doing? You weren't doing so hot, yourself. Hope you are better. Are you off this weekend, or do you have to work? I am going to a crab feed tomorrow night with some old friends. It's a charity event, but I'm their guest, so won't cost me anything except time and a potential stomach ache from eating too much crab. LOL I can hardly wait. I only get crab when the price goes way down, and this year it's stayed high due to the El Nino weather patterns. Take care, Brat, and let me know if you hear anything from Deanna's hubby, or from Deb or HER family. I'm worried about her.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Hi, Brat, I'm leaving in 20 minutes for the crab feed. I'll report in full tomorrow. LOL Yeah, the last time I had word about Debs, she was medically incarcerated. So, I'm getting pretty worried about her. You'd think someone from her house would email us though, wouldn't you? Well, gotta go and put my shirt on and get outta here. Love, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Brat, Yup, I'd say she was pretty spoiled. Did you see Mukund's post?

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Hi, Brat. I'm doing ok, I guess. I seem to have short spurts of feeling pretty good, then have to spend most of a day down resting. But, that is much better than spending a week down resting, for sure, and THAT'S where I was before Plaquenil, and actually, up until about a month ago. I started to notice that I was not taking weeks to get over a cold like before, and that was at Christmas, so I guess that is about a month, now. Of course, I STILL haven't taken down the creche or little ceramic village, but at least the grapevine tree is now in storage, all the lights that were taken down are put away, and it's just a question of being up to striking the " set " . LOL My PCP is pushing me to come in for a checkup before he'll refill some of my prescriptions, but I'm putting off the evil day. I just hate it when he nags me about anything. I'm doing my level best, but I refuse to spend every waking minute consumed with this damned disease. My Rheumy is more understanding, and much less " naggy " . I think I like her some better than when I first saw her and was put off by that $25 charge for signing insurance forms. At least, her, I see only three times a year unless I'm in crisis or need my disability forms signed. I don't see the internist or endocrinologist or dermatologist or gastroenterologist unless I am deathly ill and can't avoid it. I just hate being a pincushion, and you know how it is once they get you incarcerated. They take such liberties. Sheesh! Anyhow, when will you get your results? Been thinking about you, Normi, and Deanna all day today. Also, have had a couple of short emails and a phone call from Christi, and she seems to be recovering slowly, but surely. Keep your fingers crossed for her, too, ok? Guess I'd better stop this novel and answer some of the other emails in my box. You take care, and let me know what's up with you and Deanna.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Donna, Yep. We are pretty much back to the normal kibitzin', " the I wants " , the bad words, and all the rest of it. However, I may get rich off the language problem. LOL At a buck a word, the boys had to give me most of the money they received for Christmas. They were just all caught up and watching their words very well when the holidays ended, and now they are slipping back into bad habits. I have put Randy on phone restriction for the rest of this week, and Reesey is on for the next two days, as well as both of them owing me part of next weekend's pay for chores. They just aren't getting the message. I have tried the other way 'round, of rewarding good behavior with gift certificates for clean language, extra pay for extra chores, etc., but they are still hoping I will wear out before they have to comply. To quote a certain little yellow Tweety Bird, " They don't know me very well, do they? " LOL I can be so stubborn at times as to make the Rock of Gibraltar look like quicksand. Yep, I'm the Queen of Mean, according to the boys. Teehee. I need to prune the roses soon, but the sun decided to come out today for the first time in weeks. Of course, that is just an excuse to put off the pruning for another day. Ain't I awful? I'd rather go to the trade-in bookstore and get some more reading material. I go through books so fast it's a wonder the pages don't smoke. More later, and how are you today, Missy? Loving hugs, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, that is just an excuse to put off the pruning for another day. Ain't I awful? I'd rather go to the trade-in bookstore and get some more reading material. I go through books so fast it's a wonder the pages don't smoke. More later, and how are you today, Missy? Loving hugs, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
