Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hi all, I've read hundreds of emails today and I'm having trouble composing responses. Let's see what I can say. I'm not doing too bad lately as far as the fibro. I think the myofascial pain is giving me the most trouble. Even that has been improved since I started taking Soma 4 times a day. I've upped my Lyrica to 600mg per day; 150 4 times. Upped my Tramadol/Ultram and Soma. The doc is supposed to be adding Topomax to the regimen. I think the bug the girls gave me is my biggest problem. Just for the record - I think the Lyrica has been my godsend. It's made such a difference. I'm beginning to at least find a routine of functionality. I crash and burn about once a week and take a nap most of the other days. I've tried to start exercising but its sporatic so far. Let see, someone suggested Airborne or other immunity boosters. I can't take them because of my Lupus. I actually take meds to suppress my immune system because its out of whack from the Lupus. So that's why I catch everything. I have never used the sanitizers. Years ago a pediatrician told me they did more harm than good. But I suppose I could give it a try. Yes fingers go numb randomly. No I've never found unknown scratches after sleeping; but I've acquired some without knowing it. Got one on my arm now that I assumed was one of the dogs scratching me. Maybe its all the pain meds we don't always notice the bumps and bruises when they happen. My new business is an online Pharmacy. It includes prescription drugs, vitamins, supplements and natural products, and even pet meds. It is designed to be at a large discount for people without insurance. Those that do have insurance will have to submit their own claims - as the store does not bill insurance for you. There should be something there for anyone; so please visit the site and be a customer. OH and if your med isn't listed there is an email feature to see if they carry it or will carry it. So all is not lost. I know this is a shameless plug; but I've heard so many people complain about the cost of their meds; this is a federally supported system designed to help make meds affordable. So I believe in the cause; that's why I embarked on this venture. It is FamilyLifePharmacy.com OK well I've got dinner plans so I'm out of here for a while.
