Having problems with message search?
Hi, Diana:
I think we all feel that way. Rather than fill a message with 'woe is me', we choose to not send a message. Maybe we could share what works for us sometimes, or what we tried that didn't work. I'll go first.
The timer works great, if I make myself us it. Tramadol helps sometimes, if the pain isn't horrible. If the pain is horrible, I use ice on the burning pain, and heat on the shooting pain. Also, I can't afford Lyrica, but my doctor got me a seven day trial pak and it seemed to help with both the pain and the fog, so I contacted Pfizer and submitted an application for a free Rx.
And for the writing? I take a 70 page spiral notebook to bed with me. I make notes. I plot, I plan, I do character sketches, even though I'm not a plotter or a planner.
Okay, your turn.
Vicki

I never really know what to say. Yes I hurt and my head is foggy more times than not. During my few brief minutes of clarity I do get a great idea...it is the following up on it that causes me to fall flat.I dont want to appear as a whiney person so I dont let on about my pain most days. I wish that there were a cure for this. It is really a hellish existance at times.Diana

touch with others who understand how hard it is to write and deal with
pain at the same time. But I checked my Yahoo groups today and had 56.
So, are we going to use this space? I've eliminated six groups that are
just sitting there, doing nothing. I'm a member of several groups on
health and several on writing, and I think this one could really help
all of us. Except, we're all ignoring it.
I'm willing to put one day a week on my calendar to post a message, if
everyone else will do the same. Whadayasay?
