- Go to New Treatment Plan
Awwwwwww, Gypsy,,,,,,,,,
I'm so sorry you have to deal with such pain. Believe me if I tell you I know what it's like to deal with pain on a daily basis. It's not the same pain, but maybe some similiarity. It's nerve pain and it comes from Severe Polyneuropathy (are you familiar?). It's a disease that eats away at the nerve endings and destroys them. It's non-regressive and non-cureable, there's only treatment by way of prescription pain medication. I've had it for about three years and it's no fun and, yes, I cry when I want to. My husband is very understanding and I hope your's is too. You can cry and it helps. it's ok, Gypsy.
I do hope you're feeling better and my thoughts are with you. God bless you, Darling.

Re: Strat
Thanks! I'd have to say I did the right thing. I'd have just endangered myself keeping him around. I'm having fun with your B side blog... I'm going to have to give others a chance though. Remember I DJ on the side lol.

Re: TAPS
I'm just not a crying person. I'm more likely to get angry. I'm thinking of buying a punching bag lol. I'll take your thoughts into consideration however. Good luck on your trip to the sis. You're a better person than me, I just can't deal with people that are that judgemental.

Re: Gavelk
I think everybody has something in their lives that is difficult to deal with. I couldn't imagine yours either. Thank you for the support and I'm enjoying your Green Sphere blog a lot so far!

Way to scrape Dr. Asshat off your shoe.
It's your life and your health, and you need to be comfortable with everyone and everything. So unless he won the Nobel for curing this stuff, I'd say you did the right thing.

Hi Gypsy...gosh, i can totally sympathize with you in many
ways, but surely not in all. I am so sorry that you are experiencing so much heartache and pain. The world is so unfair. I learnt that way too early on in life unfortunately. I'll never understand just why so many people all over the world need suffer so much.
Suffering is an atrocity by mother nature that I will not soon forgive her for.
I am glad you are in better spirits.
ps I have another friend afflicted with MS who smokes marijuana medicinally and swears by it...have you ever checked into that? (no offense gypsy)

Powder
Please give in and cry now and then. Its the release valve for all that stress that builds up. To hold it in isn't all that good. I know it freaks out the hubby. Men are that way you know. They can't stand to see a woman cry. But you tell him that now and then you are going to do it just because I told you to.

Hey, welcome back, Powder Jolez...like the new name!...)
Wow, what you are dealing with...may sound cliche, but your strength is amazing and inspiring. I don't do pain well; thought I was going to die (first wanted to kill the hubby and doctor who talked me into it, lol) the one time I was persuaded natural childbirth would be a good thing.
Hoping the new plan will bring relief.

Hey Jolie...
Honey, you just made me cry! I hate knowing you're in such pain. I've said this to other friends who suffer constant pain, including myself...(I'll fill you in on all that some other time)and I'm gonna say it to you...
If you have to cry to release some pain, just go right on ahead and cry. I can't even begin to imagine what you go through every day. I know for myself, but if you ask me, that is completely different and I flocking hate it when people say they know what I'm going through.
Unless you're in the same situation, you don't know...so don't pretend and act as though you do.
If ya feel the need to get mad and bitch, get mad and bitch!
I'm currently going through a bitchy phase myself, but like I said, I'll tell you about that some other time.
Will you please email me?
I love ya, Jolez!

Give it all you've got!
I wish you the best of luck with the new treatment plan. I suffered with Persian Gulf Syndrome when I got out of the service. I may not fully understand the pain you have and feel, but I know what its like to be in pain every day of your life. All I can really say is stay strong and try to be thankfull for what you do have, its not easy...but its worth the effort in the long run. :)
