I don't know if any of you saw it, but there is a prayer thread in Religion for "Madam" - apparently her cancer has come back, cervix spread to her uterus, some spots in her lungs, etc., and she needs all the prayers she can get, so if you are willing, maybe you could pop into Religion and add your prayers or good wishes for her recovery to her thread. She is really young to be going through this. I feel really bad for her.

Cancer is just ugly. Thanks much. Take care.

Hi all, I just spent a lovely vacation in the 5150 motel. Seems if you take sleeping pills, and I didn't take them all since I only wanted to SLEEP, they think you are trying to harm yourself. Did some major damage to my face and left side though. I admit to taking too many but after two days of no sleep, I got desperate. Well, I fell hard in the bathroom and knocked myself silly. Couldnt walk, talk, remember things or see. Only saw double. Got scared and called my mom. Wish I had waited for her but she told me to call 911...stupid me. I did and they put me in the bin and it took forever to get the help I needed. One guy in there sh!t and drew pictures on the walls of his room. The whole place stunk bad. I was quiet and didnt say much if anything except to ask for meds for my pain....lovely vacation and even got to sleep in the hallway over night on a special gurnie. Got to take a whore bath in the bathroom at least. They finally got me into a normal room and released me today. The cat scan said I didnt break any bones and no brain bleeds. That's all I wanted them to do. Damn it I swear I will never go to the hospital again willingly. And I will LIE if they ask about any meds!!!!!

(((marie))) always thinking of everyone. Heart of gold. Huggers and Madam, I wish I could help you but Ive never taken it before. You might try looking it up online. Sorry about your cancer and I will keep you on my prayer list.flowerforyou

I tried Cymbalta but had a reaction to it so quit.
It is supposed to be really good for people with Fibromyalgia or chronic pain as it works on the pain too, and I know of some people that it is doing wonders for. (I do medical transcription so I type for doctors and have had doctors talk about how well some of their patients are doing on it.) It is a newer antidepressant but does have a good track record.

I would give it a try Kitt. If you have any problems with it, let your doctor know.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

Karen, damn girl, I am sure glad you didn't break anything, sorry about the hospital though. Wish you could get regulated on your meds so you could get a sleep cycle down and not do things like this. I worry about you, I don't like it when my friends are hurt and hurting. What an awful experience.

Girl, I will keep you in my prayers too. Feel better soon and stay safe. Take care of yourself. I worry about you. flowerforyou :heart:

Kitt - you might ask your doc about "phenocaine" - it is a natural herbal antiinflammatory that works like Celebrex only doesn't have the side effects that Celebrex and others do. My one doc has only elderly patients and they have problems taking Celebrex, some of them have tried this and they are having great results, no side effects and relief of their pain. It works mostly for arthritic pain, but if your pain was from swelling might be something to think about, and it appears to be easier on the stomach than nonsteroidals and doesn't have the blood-thinning problems like aspirin and ibuprofen.

Another natural I heard about is mangosteen. A woman I know has severe rheumatoid arthritis and she started phenocaine and mangosteen and was able to stop her narcotics altogether, and only take these two "natural herbals" and they keep her pain in check. Just thought I would mention it if you want to run it by your doctor.

Good luck.

Just checking in. Like a dummy I worked 13 and a half hours. But I am not a bit lonely and my chances of insomnia is nil. Falling for this coworker and through the gossip channel that works very well at work I am finding that she is falling for me, too. After the 3rd shift nurses found out that I am going to 2nd shift I am officially a traitor now.laugh But my going to 2nd shift made room one aide and her boyfriend to work together. So I made some additional brownie points. Still working on how to cash brownie points in though.laugh And this morning I was actually able to cash some in. The aide that I opened up the door to work with her boyfriend is a supervisor at another facility that works with teenagers who are mentally handicapped. According to her all I have to do is sleep at the facility since the teenagers are well behaved. So I will have to make a decision if I want to stay in my current job where I have to do manual labor or get paid for sleeping. I don't think it will take me long to decide because I have always tried to find a job where I could get paid for sleeping on the job. None of my previous employers wanted me to sleep on the job. I always wanted to be a mattress tester where I could sleep double 8 hour shifts. It reminded me of a worker that we used to have to wake up at work so he wouldn't miss his breaks at Tyson Foods.laugh

Marie, I wasn't trying to hurt myself. It was an accidental overdose in search of sleep. They gave me a place where I can go if things get bad. They take walkins and I have been there before. I know it is a nice place compared to the other ones that treat you like a prisoner. Don't worry. I'll be fine. Maybe they will have something I can take under supervision that can work if I have to go in anytime.

Amber! On the slyyyyyy. Good for you girl! My potential guy turned out to be a workaholic. How do I find these guys? Either they don't work at all or they work so much, they don't have time for aything but quickies, pfffffft!

Karen, I didn't mean to imply you tried to hurt yourself, just that I wish they could find a combination that would work for you so you could get into a normal sleep/wake cycle and not have problems where you go days without sleep then take the sleeping pills and accidentally hurt yourself and end up in the hospital. Never thought you tried to hurt yourself. I am glad they gave you the name of a place to go, that sounds better than the alternative. I worry about you, you are a good friend and I really don't want you hurting. You are a good person and I wish they could find some med to help fix your moods to make your life easier, that is all I am saying.flowerforyou flowerforyou
