Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 Aletta, Your description of finding some relif from your pain made me drool with envy. I went to the doctor yesterday and brought a list of my symptoms: I think if I could just have something to stop the constant pain that sleeping all the time or even being drugged would be preferable to what I am currently experiencing. I think that I might have sent the first message before I finished writing it. If so, just delete it. Deborah Setzer 1.Intermittent Bilateral action tremor a.Occasional resting tremor b.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 What a visual... a group of crustations! Here is what I found on that subject: Characteristics -Crustations are an aqutic member of the arthopod phylum. -Usually crustations have branched appendages but because of evolution this is now not always true . -Crustations are the only arthopod with two pairs of antennae. -Crustations have three pairs of chewing appendages. -All crustations breath through gills. -The exoskeletons of crustations are hardned with calcium carbonate. -The legs of crustations are atached to both the abdomen and thorax. Well known Crustations -Some good examples of crustations are lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, and pill bugs. -lobsters, crayfish, and shrimp are members of the order Decopoda, which means ten feet. -Lobsters, crayfish, and shrimp all swim by forcefully flexing their abdomen causing their tails to act as a paddle which propells them backwards. Products Crustations such as lobsters, crabs, and shrimp are used as a food source. Shrimp are also used as a fishing bait. And boy do I feel like fishing bait today!

Luckily long term memory is ok, sex drive not affected (like it matters), no delusions and I sleep without waking for bathroom runs (but I sleep a medicated 4-5 hours only). I have another twenty pills, decided for the next while I'll be taking vacation from the pain and frustration for the next bit. I can only hope it does not wear off, beats the pants off the codeine. Can't take it during the day because nothing would get done. Seems my GP hit on a winner.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 90% the same as mine. Luckily long term memory is ok, sex drive not affected (like it matters), no delusions and I sleep without waking for bathroom runs (but I sleep a medicated 4-5 hours only). I have another twenty pills, decided for the next while I'll be taking vacation from the pain and frustration for the next bit. I can only hope it does not wear off, beats the pants off the codeine. Can't take it during the day because nothing would get done. Seems my GP hit on a winner.

I went to the doctor yesterday and brought a list of my symptoms: 1.Intermittent Bilateral action tremor a.Occasional resting tremor b. Hands, fingers, legs and head affected c. Worsens with stress and fatigue 2. rigidity a. started on left side now bilateral b. Muscle soreness (constant, deep nagging pain: can become unbearable, always present but varies in intensity. It is physically exhausting) i. thighs, calves, sole of feet, hands, forearms, upper arms, neck, shoulder, face c. Pain in the joints of the fingers, wrists, neck, shoulders, elbows, ankles, knees, toes and top and bottom of feet and where skull attaches to spinal cord i.

Neck dystonia and inability to hold head erect for more than 15 minutes without it pulling to one side. 3. Bradykinesia a. Minimally responsive to Sinemet b. Shuffle step with left side more pronounced c. Difficulty initiating or following through with movements i. Especially with the hands 4. Postural Instability a.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 What a roar. I love you dearly. Hey couldn't we have gills put in, screw a trach - we could beat them to the punch.
