What sweethearts you all are!!! I do appologize for my little pity party
yesterday....I was just at my wits end!! I should have read more of your
posts before I posted anything myself.....because after I read for
awhile....I felt so much better. It's easy for me to forget that I'm
not the only one dealing with this!! Before I found Dr. Wiseman in
1997, I had spent more than 15 years feeling like I was the only one in
the world that lived with this crap. So anyway I thank you so much for
your very kind words and thoughts!! I'm much more optomistic today and
heading out for a very special camping trip that my sister and I have
been planning for months!!! To answer your questions, no...I do not take
any pain medication (well plain Tylenol) and no antidepressants!! I
don't do real well with pain medication....it makes me too groggy and I
work full time at a very faced paced profession.....I have two teenagers
and a year old grandchild....so I have to have all my facilities and be
able to function which pain medication does not allow me to do!!! I
haven't seen a physician since my surgery three years ago and don't
actually have one at this time. I have had some serious horror
situations with physicians and so I really have a hard time
contemplating seeing one.....but with no improvement in six weeks, I
guess I'll have to break down and find someone!!!
Thank you for your caring and support!!!
Have a great....comfortable weekend!!
