Re: I think I can,, I think i can,, I can!

[Guest guest]

Chriss and group;

Thanks Chriss,,, I knew it would go ok cause I have had the test

before.. I slept good all night except I get up once every night to

use the bathroom... Before I used a c-pap,,, I got up about 10

times a night to go to the bathroom...

I have that problem to with postings... I get the names mixed up and

end up putting the wrong name down for a post... I think we all

know what the post was for and the mistakes I made on names when

sending posts.... If that makes any sense haaaaaaaa.

Yes,,, I must have missed the post Dodge sent on pain cause I don't

remember reading it... Maybe he can repost it... or send another

one.. I am really interested on anything about pain.. I sure am

sorry that any of us has to suffer the pain we suffer... If there is

no pargraphing I have a hard time reading a post and give up

sometimes cause I lose my place a lot and the train of thought.

The reason I believe there are no pain tolerance levels just

different pain period with all of us,,,, is because I had pain my

entire adult life,,, and I notices that it's not pain level just how

the disease effect each person.. A theory that I learned by living

it.

Staphanie has really motivated me,, If she can do it ,, I can do it

better,,, may take me a little longer haaaaaaaaaaa.... But yes I can

do it. Its like the little train that think I can,,, think I can,,

think I can,, I can ,,, I can I can. and the little train makes it

up the long hill to the top.

My daddy was for equality for men and women... I told him one day I

can't do that only boys can.. He replied to me " You can do it and

you can do it better. " Growing up me and my brothers did it all...

Washed dishes,,, dug ditches,,, dad didnt discriminate against his

daughters or his sons haaaaaaaaa. Daddy was a kind gentle man with a

firm hand.. He is in heaven waiting for me and the others.... I pray

for pain free day for everyone and God bless you all.

gentle kind hugs

didn't read down to the interesting bits about 'crossed nerve

especially the fibromyalgia type.* that doctors seem to be slow to

recognise. (Read my reply to Dodge for more on that if you have

time.) Both of us posted Wednesday.
