Originally posted 2021-10-06 19:46:51. Yesterday morning I woke up in extreme pain. The pain was in the right part of my upper back that seemed to radiate thru to the front of my chest. It also went all the way down my arm into my fingers. I couldn’t lay down and get comfortable. The pain seemed to increase in intensity after 30 to 60 seconds. I tried to describe it to my husband as well…
Originally posted 2021-09-29 13:13:24. Ok, today I had my 2nd session of the laser hair removal on my under arms/armpits. Not bad at all. It doesn’t feel bad. Now in all fairness my hair under my arm is already thin so I am not sure how it would be for someone that has more coarse hair than I do. Today I had my first session of what she called bikini not brazilin because she didn’t…

The normal daily routine of getting my son up to take his medications doesn’t stop for anything. Hearing the words in my head over and over… CANCER… My mother has beaten colorectal cancer just a few years ago. Her body still trying to recover from the chemo and radiation. Then having to have her arteries bypassed…

I might feel pain but once I don’t that could lead to nothing, paralysis, no walking, no feeling the touch upon my skin. That my friends is why I said the upside of pain. Ok, so as you know I had a medical procedure done last Wednesday. It was an epidural…
I just did my first session of botox to try and relieve some issues caused by TMJ. I have ruined countless teeth because of it and need some relief. Unfortunately, I had to pay for it not our insurance since they keep giving my doctor issues in approving it. Nevertheless, we are going to see how this goes and if we can still get it approved I will be trying it again. Until then, I…
Originally posted 2019-02-14 10:00:54. By Janice Reynolds, Guest Columnist One thing we need to keep in mind when discussing the so-called opioid epidemic is that people in acute pain are being persecuted and harmed, as well as those with persistent (chronic) pain. In fact, much of the witch hunt may have started with acute pain. It has long been known that when acute pain is left untreated or undertreated it can lead to persistent pain,…

So… he took three biopsies while he was in there. Thank goodness for what I call the Michael Jackson drug… sad that the drug is widely known as that but it is what it is. Bottom half of my body hurts, now the other…
Originally posted 2021-08-20 09:00:00. I have been having lots of pain, more specifically nerve pain. I have had to take more of my Neurontin because of it. Thing that I absolutely despise about this medication is the side effect of weight gain. I have done trigger point injections to try and get some relief but the latest one didn’t bring much relief. So, now we are going to try an epidural to help. I can’t…
Originally posted 2021-08-06 15:28:02. Early yesterday morning I woke to my husband wailing in pain. He said it hurt in his upper abdomen. Every few minutes the sounds of gagging almost throwing up became constant. My husband isn’t the “I’m in pain” type. He is normally the “I’m good” type. He asked me if we had any pepto-bismol, which we did. We got it out got a spoon and he took some. We waited. He…
