I haven't been online much...I have been in sooo much pain with the fibro and now I found out I have a herniated disc in my neck. Now I know where the numbness in the extremeties is coming from. I am seeing a Neurosurgeon in Boston on the 11th.

    My mother-in-law had to have emergency surgery because an anuerysm started leaking and they didn't know if she would make it through the surgery itself because she has COPD, Thank God she pulled through, now it's a waiting game. We are hoping they can get her off the respirator and breathing on her own.

    With all this stress I started smoking again...I had gone almost 7 months. I could just kick myself in the ass! I will quit again, just not sure when.

   I miss being on DS but it's so painful to sit here for to long. I miss everyone and wish you all well....Hugs to all of you!!!

I wish I had more positive things to write about, I always have a gazillion things in my head I want to put in here and then I sit looking at the computer.....saying DUH.

Like everyone else, I'm tired of being in pain....I'm tired of having to take a nap or two everyday just to feel half way normal. I'm tired of being depressed and tired of feeling worthless. Most of all...I'm tired of complaining to all of you all of the time!! But I want to thank you for always understanding and supporting me. God Bless all of you here at DS!

It's been a while since I wrote....My psychiatrist uped my zoloft another 50mg, now I'm on 250mg a day. I stopped by and talked to my neurologist about my headaches, told him nothing was working. He can't put me on a certain migraine med because I'm on zoloft and they can't be mixed, however he did give me Darvocet to try and 1 every 4 hours didn't work, so I took 2 and the headaches disappeared along with the fibro pain in my back. I think the pain in my back up into my neck was causing the migraines. I don't need the pain med all the time sometimes motrin will help but when it gets to bad I have the darvocet which worked great.

I don't have to much going on, I'm still babysitting the munchkin, he's so darn cute, he's crawling and pulling himself up now, he'll be keeping me on my toes.

....I stopped the 25 mg of Elavil at night, I was put on that by the Rhuemetologist for the fibro. I think it's made me gain weight, I did quit smoking but usually you only gain around 10lbs, I have put on 30lbs and seem to be still gaining. So I went off the elavil to see what happens.
