Lol, that's a funny one! I think it's past due, Debs!

My doc said I could up my dose of Neurontin whenever I wished, I think

I may try that. Just don't want it to make me too drowsy, that's

what it did in the beginning. When you upped your dose, did you get

drowsy?

My Endo put me on Clonidine two years ago, supposedly to help my night

sweats, (which I still have every single night & have to change

clothes twice each night). Obviously, it didn't work.....

Sorry about the boils, it must be frustrating. I've never had

anything like that, (knocking on the desk as I type this).

> What may be worthwile you investigating and you can in the USA, I

wish it was here, is ketamine lzenges, they apperently taste nasty,

but I call that the miracle drug......

I've never heard of Ketamine lozenges, is this an OTC drug or do I

need a doctor's script for them?

> Oyster shells youmust be by the sea...... did you get to eat them?.

what do you grow in your glasshouse?

We are right on salt water, a river that flows into the Atlantic about

2 miles from our dock. Yes, we can harvest them right off our dock.

Can't get them or eat them until it gets colder....late October or

November, only in months that have an " r " in them.

My husband is an orchid freak and the greenhouse is primarily for him.

He has about 30 Vanda's and some others in there. All I use it for

is some herbs and to care for my three Christmas cactus over the summer.

I just installed Yahoo Messenger, now if I could just figure out how

to work it, it wants to start up under my husband's name.....lol! I

have to drive to ton this morning for the day, but when I get

home tonight I'll fool around with it and see if I can get it working.

See if you can send me a message, to hhessgriffeth, and then tonight

I'll see if anything came through, okay? I miss our conversations on

the messenger like we had three years ago. Haven't had an IM set up

now for about two years.

Pain is okay, not too great, but not so bad that I can't function.

I've had to go up on my duragesic again to 75 mcgs. I didn't want to

do that, but the doctor said, " why not go up for awhile and see if you

can get a better handle on the daily pain, instead of having to stay

confined to the house and cramped up all the time? No sense in being

miserable all the time if there's something that can help you. " He's

pretty good about it, and always willing to work it out with me so I

can stay functional. I'm lucky to have someone with that attitude. I

do want to talk to him about the oxycodone, though, because 10 mgs. up

to 4 times a day just isn't cutting it right now. I think I may need

to try something different for BT and see if I can get better control.

If I could only get rid of this d@#%*@ pseudocyst my life would be so

much better!! Thanks for asking about me...

Have a good day at work - I'm learning to function on about 4 hours of

sleep every night now that I have to get up every morning for Austin.

Guess you'll have to do the same, if you have to work tomorrow,

(today), so try to get some sleep!! I've got to go get in the shower,

catch up with you later, girl!

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
