Re: Tina?

Sorry it took so long for me to reply.  We've had internet issues, then I had computer issues for a few days.  The depression and anxiety are coming and going.  Last few days it's been bad.  Last evening, I started having nerve pain again, so I raised my amitryptilene dosage back up to 3 pills.  Well, today I woke up from a short nap feeling like I was coming down with something (viruses have been running rampant in my house the past month or so).  Couldn't tell if it was muscle aches or nerve pain, but I guess it's just nerve pain.  Spent the day lying down, but nothing is helping it.  Had a thought that the emotional lability I'm going through may be linked to the changing of the amitryptilene dose - but it was 3 - 4 weeks after I went down to three pills before I tried going down to 2.  Much slower than my neuro recommended, but what my husband and I were comfortable with, especially since I had to reschedule my psychiatrist appointment and wasn't able to get in until January, I think. 

Our car darn near up and died on us Saturday when we were coming back from Devin's last band competition of the year.  The engine light had been on, hubby had gotten a diagnostic run on it, and was going to fix it.  Well, coming back from St. Louis, the car started running real rough, and the engine light started blinking.  I checked the owner's manual, and the blinking engine light meant something was either wrong with teh catalytic converter, or it was misfiring somehow.  Hubby and my father in law took the car to the garage yesterday.  What they initially came up with was the ignition coil was bad, the front engine cover was leaking, and the water pump may be bad, in addition to the new tires and brakes we would need within a month.  And that might not even be the entire reason for the misfire.  I guess my father in law read between the line, because he proposed helping us buy a " new " used car.  It took all day, but they are helping us buy a 2008 ford fusion, pre-certified used car.  Runs much better than the Taurus ever did, new tires, new brakes.  Only problem I can find with the car is the stereo controls are on the steering wheel, so I can't change the station since I don't drive, and there is no ashtray, so I guess we'll have to buy one of those that sits in the cupholder. 

Devin's marching band season came to an unofficial end this past weekend with the final competition.  The official end is the Halloween parade, but this week was to be a week off.  Well, the Catholic high school in Alton made the football playoffs, and want the Alton High Band to play at their halftime, since they have no marching band!  This is incredible that Marquette asked us to do this for them.  I certainly hope all the band students attend, as it is their choice, but this a good community thing.

Congratulations on the new to you car! That's always such an exciting thing, isn't it? Seriously, congrats. I'm sorry to hear nerve pain is worse again. Dang it! Oh the joys of MS, huh? So your computer problems are fixed now? You've had a string of problems! I hope all the troubles are behind you.big hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

It is.  I absolutely love the thing.  Devin, who is 16, still sitting on his permit because he hasn't been getting the 50 hours required to get his license, is evidently really hot to drive it.  I'm sure he'll get the 36 hours he needs fairly quickly now.  NOW he tells us he didn't like driving the old Taurus.  It will be good to get his hours out of the way (he has 4 months left on his permit) because come the end of this school year, will be getting his permit, since he turns 15 in December.  Oh my, I can't believe they are both that old!

Yeah, the joys of MS.  I figure I must be picking up a bug or something, who knows.  But something always flares up when I pick up a virus, and the nerve pain being the new symptom, seems to be the one that's most active.

Yeah, my computer was just acting weird for a few days.  I don't know why, but it works now.  :)Tina
