Well I hate it when I felt stuff that I didn't intentionally want to felt...hopefully the fabric softener and gentle stretching will work...or the mittens....or here's an idea....if worse comes to worse make a bag out of it. I love the crochet felted bags I've made from scratch or from those sweaters I washed and shrunk...good luck.

Good job picking up the white key tag...I got my first white tag in '05 and I had to get another in '09. Nine months clean now and finally doing better because I have been following every suggestion given this time and the most important one is...recovery has to come first...and I can finally say that it does this time around. I do not want to go back to where I was and what I was when using. So...do follow all suggestions...work those steps...do service work...and keep coming back it works it if you work it.

Hugs to all you recovering addicts out there...peace and love

Another medication is Neurontin, it was developed for siezures but they found out it also is good for many types of pain including joint and muscle pain. You must see a physician and get a RX. It is not a narcotic.


No...it's listed in the PDR as an anti-convulsent(sp)...it works for neuro pain associated with diabeties, fibromyalgia and other nerve problems. I took it for years...sure it works but...least with me after taking it for ten years or more I realized once I stopped it I had no brain during that time....go figure....guess it's a trade off...neurontin is gabapentin new med they use is Lyrica which is pregabalin(sp) very similiar meds to the best of my knowledge (although I'm not a doctor nor a pharmacist - just a patient and a recoverying addice :banana:) Good luck with this stuff....

Try glucosomine & chondrotin works very well for most people with little side effects....also I take an RX naproxene called Etodolac 400mg twice a day and when it's really nasty pain Tramadol which is a non-narcotic pain relieve as listed in the PDR...then again there are days I need the help of hydrocodone...a hot tub works wonders, as well as soaking in a hot tub of epsom salt. And some swear by applie cider vinegar with honey every morning.

Good luck...play safe...and peace

I'm just posting 'cause it's an Arkanas thread. Ain't a good guy or a nice buy - few and far between - but I'm . . . I don't know. Just what the heck am I?


I too posted here cuz it's an Arkansas thread. I sure do know I'm not a good guy, bad guy or even a guy LOL....

but I'd say that maybe to answer the "Just what the heck am I?" you wrote....maybe just a guy...hehe. Looks that way to me.

Okay enough of that....

How's everyones morning been? I've been rather productive and I found some money...maybe I can get out and buy some furniture for my new apt....anyway

Rainbow...good luck with the mechanic and vehicle situation. I haven't had a car in months and being new here to this area trying to find an apt. etc. it's made it tricky. I too hate being w/out a vehicle...maybe that will change...

OldSage...desktop not working...bummer...I also hate being w/out a computer. That might happen for a bit when I move :( using someone else's laptop now...maybe they'll let me borrow it when I move...

well anyway....hope you all have a good friday afternoon.

peace waving
