A little bit of this and that

[Guest guest]

Good Morning my new friends,

I would like to start by saying thank you to all. Today is the second day of

posting in group and it just " feels " good to know that what I am sharing is

understood. It feels good to " vent " .

It felt even better to share a little of my personal experience, so, hopefully

someone can find some relief from the chronic pain issues we are all living

with. Like I mentioned yesterday I would recommend Rolphing to anybody, young or

old. My only advice is to research first and make sure the provider has the

right qualifications, licensees, insurance, check with the Better Business

Bureau, to see if there are any positives or negatives on record with them and

also, ask for references and follow through.

I know that this sounds like a lot. I also completely understand that when you

do not feel good and hurting you would do just about anything to find relieve. I

have been there and found myself basically flushing several thousands of dollars

down the drain. Oh well, everything is a learning experience isn't it.

I started taking Topamax, for migraine and headache prevention, a month ago.

Is anyone on this medication? If so, is the Topamax working for out you? (I do

understand every medication works differently in others). After suffering with

the 22 day Static Migraine, I was so desperate I was willing to try basically

anything, well not Botox injections. Has anyone in the group used Botox for

headaches or migraines? What about Botox for pain management?

I started a few lines in the " Chat " section of the group. Is this popular? I

would not mind visiting this way. We all could use someone to visit with I am

sure. I am a bit nervous with my second steroid injection coming up in a few day

(AGH!) I visit with my husband and my folks and they say " It will be fine, Buck

up " Well, I am having anxiety attacks over the idea of it. I keep thinking I

will hear the injection, for its close to my ear (As shivers run up my spine).

Thanks for listening to me this morning. I did not realize how much I needed

just to visit, even if it is with myself. I am really exhausted of being

exhausted, I am sick of hurting, but, I am thankful I can feel my pain. I am

thankful I have a really neat'o son, a really special step-son, an awesome

husband and supportive parents. I love my two dog too. I do not have to many

friends, the ones I do have, truly are solid gold. I am a lucky woman.

Wishing all a terrific Sunday, Tessa
