Originally posted 2021-10-16 07:53:04. Welp… It’s scheduled. I finally found an oculoplastic surgeon. His practice is about an hour away, so not that bad of a drive at all. He needed to test and see if my tear duct was blocked and if so, how bad. He did attempt to flush (or try to) my tear duct to see how bad it was blocked. He pushed the fluid filled syringe through my tear duct while…
Originally posted 2021-10-12 07:37:20. My arm, shoulder, and shoulder blade area is beyond killing me. For over a week now it has been constantly spasmming (is this even a word? I don’t know at this point and don’t care). It makes it so hard to sleep. I normally am a side sleeper because of my sciatica and the pain of it affecting my sleep. So I have to sleep on my right side. Well this…
Originally posted 2021-10-08 09:37:04. I pulled or did something to a muscle in my back/shoulder blade area. The muscle runs down my arm to my fingers. It has made it hard to do anything. We had a pain management appointment Monday morning and the doc said it was swollen so she put on one of these patches. The muscle spasms are relentless. Over and over again It’s like it’s putting pressure on the tendons, muscles,…

She is in the fight for life and I will likely not be on social media much. Her kidneys took a hit and need to heal in order for them to do any chemo or radiation. Cancer is in her liver and lungs and they need to see if it is in her brain…
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…
Originally posted 2018-06-06 11:13:07. As I sit here looking of inspiration for each keystroke I hold back tears. 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…
Originally posted 2019-02-28 11:55:27. I know you’re like “there’s an upside to pain?” My theory is that means things aren’t completely dead in there. 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…
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,…
