Cin,
I usually don't vacuum my dishes--just put them in the dishwasher.  Does it get them cleaner?

Try some ice on it and see how that feels.   I am so very happy for you!

My OD did some cranial manipulating two days ago and now my hand and arm are pins and needles all over and the thumb is stiff.   I'm emailing him right after I get off the Forum.

Hey Cin! 

Hang in there.  If you just went on Gabapentin (not sure what mg they started you at), give the body time to adjust to it. Many here, myself included, have been on it (I'm still on it) and the body will need time to adjust to it.  Here's hoping you feel better soon. You know my mantra.... "day by day, inch by inch....."

Hang tough, m'dear!

Thank Phyl!i have been on the gabepenton since april .......it helps w/ scalp pain and muscle spasms...

[ppearl214]

Here's hoping it's helping, Cin.  They have played around with my dosage many times over the years and hoping that it's doing the trick for you!

Hang in there, m'dear!

Hi Ya......Happy Thanksgiving to All..
Day 15...yup over the two week hump.....lot less sore today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday my 15 3/4 year old son dragged me to the mall of all places....first it was a little annoying...but then i focused on one mission to go to Victorias Secret and get some more of this body spray i am addicted to!Amber Romance.

So balance was great walking through the Mall.....I did'nt even notice my tinitus...(learned to ignore it?)Got a little sore in the nect area...went to Taco Bell.
Home and relaxed.

Today...not so bad...Turkey is stuffed and in the oven..

Like many others, I've been reading this ongoing thread and following your progress.  That you've been to the mall and it was a good experience for you is fantastic!  What a great Thanksgiving Day for you! Enjoy!
