Don't be scared, Cindy. After all, Knowledge is power and you are powerful. Stop contemplating a visit and go. It's already 4:30 on a Friday afternoon. What if something happens on the weekend you'll end up in the ER where they don't know you. Just get up and go.
Hugs,
Mei Mei

Hi, Cindy ~

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to learn that you're having a better day! Your avatar photo looks good but seems to be just a little too large for the space. We'd like to see a bit more of you!

Jim

That's great. Must have been some sort of ear infection. Hope you're better health continues ...

I still haven't figured out how to get the picture on here.

Cindy,
These are not good signs and percocette cannot cure these strange symptoms. I wish you would go up to Dartmouth.

O.K. MeiMei....I made an appointment w/ my ENT who first diagnosed tumor....scheduled for audio work up and visit w/ Dr.Anderson after....Hope to get answers.

OK, good. Now I feel better. When is the appointment?
Is Dr. Anderson your surgeon or the ablation doc?

Dr.Andersen is my local ENT......He is the one that discovered my tumor,He will do a full audio work up and then see me directly after.
Went to spine specialist today and the switched me from gabepenton to Lyrica and gave me a perscription for Skelexin.
Anyone try these?They also want to set me up w/ a tens unit.
GrrGrrGrr.....On...and....On.

Hi Cindy,
I was given Vicodan with Skelentin last November when I broke the two ribs helping my father. It was OK. It helped the pain for the broken ribs but nothing, no nothing helps the pain for the neck and the skull. They gave me morphine in the ER and that also helped the ribs but not the skull. Maybe they'll help you prevent the headaches from coming on.

My rheumatologist has had me on Voltaren for preventing headaches, but it's supposed to give you heart damage or a heart attack, so I'm not staying on it too long. It's not preventing the daily headaches, but I didn't have one last night. Had three the night before.

About the TENS Unit. I had asked for one back last spring from my PT and she said she was going to bring it up but then found out that you can't have one if you have a Titanium Mesh. You had better run this information by the doctor before he orders you one. I wouldn't want you to have ill effects from a TENS Unit because of the Titanium Mesh.

Not all doctors know this. There were two doctors in Cleveland Clinic that were going to send me a script for a TENS Unit. So many bad stories from Cleveland.

Hugs and hope you're not having the same storm we are in Maryland!

I will have to inquire more about the Tens Unit....I thought there were several people here that have used it.
My physical Therapist used it on me also.Hmmm..

Then I don't know why my PT didn't want to give it to me.

We had a terrible snowstorm last night, lost power and heat around 5pm. Thunder and lightening too. Tree branches in front of the house are fallen on the front lawn. Got to Barnes and Noble and am sending messages and charging my cell phone. No land lines either. We have gas heat but I guess the pilot light went out. Trying to get the plumber on the phone but the line is busy busy busy. Got to get the pilot light back on or we will have fumes.
Will call the gas company.
