Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Dear Carol, I hope that you are truly feeling better by now.. I know that shingles are most painful.. never experienced them, but have heard from others. I pray that you are soon better.. and I suppose the being below goal is a good thing.. I hope to reach goal weight some day.. doesnt seem like I am ever going to get there ., though. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Thanks, Corrine... I have been taking it easy, almost no choice with the pain as bad as it has been. I was living on Ibuprofen for awhile but then went on a pain patch I will ask about the Neurontin. What I really don't like is taking the sleeping pills, yuck...druggie city in the AM which I am not used to being a morning person. This entire PHN has knocked me for a loop. I just pray it is short- term. My friend had it for three weeks, but in that three weeks she had to quit her job, quit her golf league and could not sleep in her bed once. I am hoping I have the 3 week type and not the 3 year type! In the meantime the pain does keep me from eating much and I have lost another couple of pounds which puts me below goal a few pounds and the size 8's feeling a bit loose. But what really is different is not being able to work-out. It became such a part of my life. Thanks for your concern!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Big hugs back to you, . I covet your prayers and appreciate your thoughtfulness. Please keep trying and watch the negative " self-talk " . It is amazing how we can trigger our own failure by programming our minds. You CAN reach goal and we are all here behind you. You have my prayers and all my best wishes. Keep plugging away, honey, I know you can do it! Love, Carol G. > Dear Carol, > I hope that you are truly feeling better by now..
