Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah I know it's a lot but I am on inhalers and also imitrex (shots and nose spray for migraines). Plus I take something to help me sleep so it sounds worse than it is but yeah I didn't realize I was on that much until I seen all the scrips at one time. Normally I just get them refilled when I need them and not all at once. I am sorry that you can't get your scripts. What about PPA? Can you get on that program? You shouldn't be without hormones girl, you need them. Hugs, :)Val Lee wrote: Wow! Ten scripts! That's a lot, and that's exactly why I'm not on medications.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Really, I don't even know what that is. All he told me was to get the wrist bands. I will call him and ask him about it especially if it would be helpful. The pain meds I am on now help it but during the night the pain wakes me up 2 or 3 times a night and I have to get up during the night and take a pain pill. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not and it takes me a long time to go back to sleep. On average it's at least an hour. Sometimes I get lucky and it's 1/2 hour. Thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 What they do now is want to give wrist splints or bands, then they offer shots of cortisone but none of it will take care of the problem except for surgery to open up the tunnel to release the pressure on the nerves. If you get to the point where the pain is severe then insist on the surgery. They do the surgery with the tiny incision and use the scope now. When I had the surgery it was a bigger incision and took some time to heal. I also had a nerve release done on my left forearm and 7 trigger joints cleaned out. I felt so much better after that. Challis also had CT surgery done. My mother, my aunt, my cousin and my grandmother all had CT. In our case it's the way our wrists are built and has nothing to do with repetitive motion such as typing.Good luck with it.Sharon This email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 He really didn't tell me what he was going to do for it but prescribed the wrists bands. I have to go for an emg to confirm it and then I guess we go from there. Surgery, not sure if I want that but it's been so bad I am not getting the sleep I need bcs it wakes me up several times a night and my hands get so swollen. Most of the time the swelling goes down as the day goes on but lately they're staying swollen all day. It's driving me crazy. It's very painful but you already know that. How did you deal with it for so long? Hugs, :)Sharon wrote: Carpal Tunnel really isn't age related. I had it first when I was 18.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I am going to see a new neuro when I have more symptoms so they don't dismiss the dx. Maybe when I am unable to walk and/or I am walking into walls etc they will listen. But it's probably not going to be for another year unless I have so many new symptoms that I have to go. I will let you know about that when it happens. My primary thought it was odd that the neuro dismissed the "black hole" and kind of gave me that look like "what"???? By the way he is treating me even though I told him I was undiagnosed is still consistant with MS treatment minus the Avonex. I think he thinks it's up to the neuro to give me that. I do have a great doctor. I like him very much. He is very attentive and caring. Hugs, :)Sharon wrote: Well I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and I have Fibromyalgia and MS.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm not sure about PPA. I'll have to look into it.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Val, Geez, how much more can one person take. I will pray for you that you get some help. Was the financial burden his ex again? If it is I totally relate. We live like we are poor and sher lives in a 2200 sq. ft. home and two cars (new) with a new boat.....you get the picture. I had to sell my car to pay for Bob's son's braces last year. We didn't have 3 grand on hand. I have a car now but it was given to me by my son bcs he doesn't have a drivers license (too many tickets and he has to pay a fine to get it back) and he hadf a piece of crap for a car so he didn't want to deal with it anymore. We got it fixed and put it back together....yeah I said put it back together bcs he had the entire inside torn apart. We put some money into in (about $300 for tires, wheel bearing, hub caps, matts, heating core, muffler) and it's on the road. It doesn't even look like his car anymore. I need to get some seat covers too and then we'll be done with it. I don't want to put more into it then we need to. Whatever you use the hormones for you still need them. I won't ask why. I use inhalers bcs I have asthma....yeah I smoke and have asthma. I want to quit but we are always stressed. Our life is so stressful all the time. We never get a break. It's getting too expensive to. Anyways if you want to talk I am here. Good luck hon. Hugs, love and God Bless, :)Val Lee wrote: I'm not sure about PPA. I'll have to look into it.
