Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Maybe we should all do a get together on the beach in Hawaii and have pool boys bringing us nice cold fruity drinks! Oh , that does sound good. LOL I'm so sorry about your pain. I'm going from 20mg to 18mg of pred and it is always sooo painful for me to decrease. It hits my arms too. Please be sure that you aren't lifting too much while over 10mg of pred. this will break down your muscles. NO heavy work.!! I know for me to just blow dry my hair is almost impossible. A lot of this is from the fibro. The muscles won't heal if you do have sleep apnea or another sleep problem that doesn't get you into the healing stage of sleep. I'm so glad you are going to have this checked. Please rest and take care. I'm off to look and see if I can find that CHEAP flight for the 26th... You never know.!!! love ya bunches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Hi , Sorry to hear you are in so much pain. Do you have Fibro? My Fibro is making my arms and upper back hurt so much I can't stand to move. Do you think those pool boys would hold my drink for me so I don't have to move my arms. LOL Sandy -- complaining.... Ok, just need a place to vent.I hurt so badly today! I went into a major flare earlier this week, and Dr Buckner told me to go back to vascilating between 20 and 17.5 on the Pred., because I'd been at 17.5 for over a week. Well, I'm still in major pain and it is especially bad in my shoulders, making doing anything with my arms very painful, as well as the bottoms of my feet being bad, making walking painful.Oy Vey! I'm ready for anyone's pain reliever, even Heidi's! (Although I'm still not sure what exactly that is, but I think it's a good kick in the backside!)Well, my mood is pretty good, I'm not getting overly discouraged, I'm just done with the physical aspects of this!! Maybe we should all do a get together on the beach in Hawaii and have pool boys bringing us nice cold fruity drinks! Well, hope you are all having a good Thursday. I see the sleep clinic doc today and will be scheduling the sleep test. I'm curious to see how that goes.Take care everyone!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Sandy, They're our pool boys, and it's our fantasy, so why not! No, I don't have fibro, just a flare in my shoulders. I'm thankful I don't have fibro, it sounds so painful!!! Take care! > Do you think those pool boys would hold my drink for me so I don't have to > move my arms. LOL > > Sandy ..

Mind you I had my first ear flare in Hawaii, the only time I have been, I was so miserable I just stayed in my room all day, stuffing my face with tylenol 3 and going to the doctor to have a shot in the bum - I think of antibiotic, as everyone thought it was cellulitis then! My ear was spectacularly swollen so at least my boss could see there was a real problem!! I can remember it hurt even to walk!!!! Actually every time I feel down I can think with pleasure that I no longer have those horrendous ear flares!! It puts things into perspectiveLOL. How are you and your girls, Sandy? Doing as well as possible, I hope. Really glad to see you posting more, although its difficult to find the time sometimes. Take care, Love Liz __________________________________________________ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
