Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'm sorry to hear you've been falling, Kate. Is there a reason for it? Has your balance been worse or have you been weaker? I worry 'bout you:)hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Listening is key. Also happy that she is going to do the MRI of your back.Thanks for your update, Margaret.love, KateTo: "MSersLife " <MSersLife >Sent: Thu, December 2, 2010 12:20:40 PMSubject: Update, Margaret HI everyone, I went to see a new neurologist yesterday. She was very good. She listened to what I had to say. She is going to do an MRI of my back. She is going to look into getting me either a power chair or scooter. I really like her. I fell on Tuesday just before I left to drive down to Milwaukee. I was not hurt. I am just sore now. I am taking it easy today. Margaret A.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 My balance has been off. I am also having a heck of a time with the trigeminal neuralgia. It has been zinging me big time!My update is that I am, as we all are, getting ready for Christmas/holidays. I hope to start baking cookies in about a week. I am wondering what butter prices are in different places--when on sale, it's $1.99/lb here. I did manage to use a coupon for a 5# bag of unbleached flour for .79; I was pretty happy about that. It's gonna be a tight squeeze financially for us, as I'm certain, most of us. The kids don't consider the high price of hockey any part of a gift; they feel it is their right, as it is a sport they enjoy, and they are keeping healthy and trim. The debate continues over what is a right, and what is a privilege.My oldest daughter came home for 36 hours! To get her car NY state inspected, as though she lives in PA, her car is registered and insured in NY. She is tugging at my heartstrings as she is telling me the schools she is considering for her Masters--they range in distance from Illinois to Minnesota to Colorado...yikes! There are a total of 6 of them, and are quite far away. I can kinda kiss goodbye, seeing her for 2 years. *sniff* I'm feeling sorry for myself.I AM looking forward to Christmas. Both my older girls (Kara, 22 and Lia, 19) will be here for some time. Kara has been able to get Christmas off from her job, and will be here from the 22nd through the 26th. Lia will be home from college for about 3 weeks. It always warms my heart to have all 5 kids here.I hope everyone else's holiday plans are coming together for them.love to all,KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Wed, December 8, 2010 3:20:02 PMSubject: Kate and falling!.....Re: Update, Margaret I'm sorry to hear you've been falling, Kate.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010  Kate Hope you start to feel better soon. i wanted to ask you what you do for it? I've been rinsing my mouth with orejel mouth rinse for sores. it gradually calm down. it seems prescription strength floride helps. but i feel if i bite down on the teeth the pressure may start it up. ...unless I was just lucky this time. ..

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Thank you, I hope I do too!I take 450-500mgs of lamictal and 1200 mgs of neurontin. I have had the microvascular decompression (brain) surgery, as well as 2 gamma knife procedures. I have really exhausted all types of things I could do for it. Orajel might work, though its' effects are only temporary. I like warmth on it; that might help you. The cold, for me, triggers it big time, so when I go out in this 20 degree weather, it hits me hard!Prayers for pain-relief soon for you my friend,hugs, KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Thu, December 9, 2010 5:26:08 PMSubject: Re: Kate and falling!.....Re: Update, Margaret  Kate Hope you start to feel better soon. i wanted to ask you what you do for it?
