Hi Kev,
Thank you so much for your prayers, and I'll be praying for you!! When I last
had Cortizone shots they only worked for about three days. You were lucky to
have even gotten two weeks out of whatever you were given. I'm glad you'll be
able to be given jells of some sort which ought to keep you pain-free for six
months. Guess because my biggest pain area is in my shoulders and neck, they
can't really do a whole lot outside of physical therapy and prescription
medication. Hopefully I'll be going out tomorrow to Fedex, which is right
nextdoor to Walgreen's and can get some Advil or Alieve P.M. or something to
allow me to better relax when it's time for me to go to sleep once I've taken my
pain meds. Keep us posted as to how you're doing. I'm so sorry that you had
such difficulty last Friday, and I'm sure people could see you were hurting yet
trying to do your best. My brother Don has developed Parkinson's Disease which
affects his left arm, maybe elsewhere too, but I think one of the reasons he's
retiring next year is that people aren't paying attention to him when he talks,
but they're paying more attention to him with his arm shaking. Another
discriminatory kind of behavior temporarily able-bodied people have toward aging
people who are developing disabilities, and of course it's even worse in our
case.
Thanks again!!
Linda G.

Well LG, you are on my prayer list. pain is very difficult to deal with. Those
cortisone shots I got for my left knee only worked for 2 weeks. I’m going in to
get the first of 3 jell injections, beginning this Wednesday. If they work, the
pain relief will last for 6 months. I was in so much pain that teaching the
iPad class on Friday was a real problem. People could see it on my face that I
was having a difficult time. I also got neprosine, or however you spell it, for
an anti inflammatory, instead of the other prescription i was taking.
So hope you can get some sleep tonight.
Got any melatonin?
Kevin

Walt, thanks so much. I wish no one had to experience chronic pain, but
it or not, I just did a lot of laying around yesterday though I couldn'tsleep,
and I lathered myself in Ben Gay with Lydocane which calmed down the nerves inme,
my right arm and eventually the spasming stopped and the pain has pretty much
been alleviated for now. I actually got about ten hours' sleep, and believe
I'm functioning so much better today than I have been!! It's a wonder whatnot include quotation marks:
sleep does for the body!! Thanks so much!!

Rest assured, you'll have my prayers, Linda. You'll be in my thoughts too,
of course.

Hi All,
I'm really having a tough time of it with the shoulder arthritis and not
being able to sleep. Then Thursday on the way home from my doctor
appointment, I lost the prescriptions he'd given me, and one of the types of
pills prescribed is a controlled substance, and you've gotta file a police
report if you lose the prescription before you can get another one. There's
a way for sighted people to do this online but because at least for now
Javascripting interferes with our screen-reading programs, I can't do this
online and will probably have to call a police officer to come to my house.
I'm so tired as a lot of nights I'm lucky to get three or four hours of
sleep. Also, my mom's in a bad way as she's been diagnosed with arthritis
and bersitis in her right hip, and pain goes all the way down her leg to
her ankle. Thanks in advance for your prayers for us.
