Asking for SoWaller's Prayers

[Harriet]

sorry it took sooooooo long.
you need the lexapro to deal with him and you need the flexiril to deal with fibromyalgia and cfs. I hope it helps you like it does me. If I miss one dose I'm back to PAIN AND AGONY. Take the Lexapro in the Morn. and the Flexiril 30min b-4 bed. Both are prescriptions. Hope you feel like you were when you where 12. Love ya.

It's been a few days since I last posted. I think I was taking Doug to the Doctors. What day is this It's just been soooo busy around our house. I feel like Cinderella....if you get my drift.​

Cinderella...The Work Song​

Cinderella, Cinderella
All I hear is Cinderella, from the moment I get up
till shades of night are falling
There isn't any letup, I hear them calling, calling
Go up and do the attic and go down and do the cellar, you can do them
both together
"Cinderella."

How lovely it would be
if I could live in my fantasy
But in the middle of my dreaming
they're screaming
at me
Cinderella


Every time she'd find a minute
That's the time that they begin it
Cinderelly, Cinderelly

Cinderella!

Cinderelly, Cinderelly
Night and day it's Cinderelly
Make the fire, fix the breakfast
Wash the dishes, do the mopping

And the sweeping and the dusting
They always keep her hopping


She goes around in circles
Till she's very, very dizzy
Still they holler​

So, back to the Doctor visit for Doug....it went well. He's doing quite good. He just needs to be patient. His back his killing him, but he has meds for that. He won't be driving for another week and a half. And he can go back to work around the middle of October...maybe. So if you see him before that at the cafe, just kick his B*U*T*T out of there!

He starts physical thereapy in another three weeks. I actually thought I needed your prayers before and during the surgery BUT I NEED THEM MORE NOW!!!!

I shouldn't moan...I am so blessed. I received a beautiful candle by Archipelago from our new SoWal friend....Minnie. She surprised me with it. and, of course it came from a favorite store of mine~~ Patchoulis. It has the most delicious aroma....called "FIJI"....Coconut, Sugar Cane, and Lemon Leaf.

ENOUGH! I'm going to get some read a new book while Doug sleeps. Can you guess which book it is?:scratch:

Thanks to each and every one of you....you can catch me these days out mulching the flower beds....getting ready for fall.

Thanks for the info Harriet...I will ask my Doctor about the flexiril. I also have a friend taking Flexiril...hers are 10mg. She has a terrible time with back pain and is now starting to have pain in her legs like restless leg syndrome. What mg. are yours? I hate it. I feel as young as I was 20 years ago, but then I'll have a day or days when I can hardly stand it. Stress related!!!!

A word to the wise-flexaril (cyclobenzaprine) is a muscle relaxer that is a potent hypnotic. It is not intended to be used as a sleep aid, nor do I think it is a good idea to use it for anything other than very short term select situations, ie, acute muscle strain or spasm. If one truly needs a pharmacological sleep aid, there are several superior options and those should be used only after non-pharmacological options have been exhausted.

Thanks Dr. Skunky for responding re: this particular post. I was curious myself. I'm always interested in hearing about others' pain management.

My rheumatologist has prescribed for me methotrexate. Not quite sure that it's doing much but she said it would take approx. 6 weeks. These chunks of 6-8 weeks of trying different prescriptions is driving me crazy.

Oh well, moving on...

Actually, a few years ago I took something that my Dad had because I had a shoulder out of whack and couldn't sleep. He said that it didn't really do anything to him at all, but I still just took one before bed.

I called my mom at midnight because I was having hallucinations. I slept for the next 36 hours--I would try to get up and just conk out again.

Not funn. I don't recommend it.

Thanks Skunky......I copied your post so I can talk to my Dr. about my insomnia and CFS problem. Do Not want to take anything that would potentally be a hypnotic.
