Morning all. Sunny, I'm really concerned for you. If you even start to think your new dosage isn't working, start calling the docs office every day and complain. It's so easy for them to say 'let's just give it some time and see what happens'. Easy for them to say, right. That's a big flashing red sign when a doc doesn't listen to you. We've lived in our bodies all our lives, and know what does and doesn't work. Of course we can't tell them what to do, but listening to a patient is a big part of being a good doc. So many of them have a god complex. Our GP can be that way, and Hubs and I both have had to just MAKE him listen, but then he really does. The first doc I saw when I hurt my leg said I had just a bad sprained ankle, got testy when I asked for more x-rays, then found it was broken all the way through. He released me and told me to walk on it to strengthen it, and when I went to another doc because of the pain, he found I had seven breaks, none were healing, put me in a cast and I spent 6 months in a wheelchair. So they CAN be wrong. Just don't let yourself get to that black place; it takes too long to get back.
Rog, I'm so happy you're working, bubba. I know how happy it makes you. And especially at this time of year.
Vicki, I wouldn't even THINK of doing the packing if we moved. You can't afford NOT to hire someone to do it for you. Don't move if you won't be happy. What's the good in moving if it makes you sad and sick?
G, glad to hear about the bonus and tickets. You have a nice boss.
MB, hope you're feeling better. And thank you, sweetie. I'm fine, you know that.

morning peeps..I have to work straight thru till Thursday ALONE...Vicki has to use some vacation time,,,,and I am not looking forward it.
I am going through some personal stuff that is petty, but someone I cared about (not here) has hurt me deeply...and I have stayed sober and just felt it.That's a big deal isn't it? I am pissed and want to lash out but I am praying for serenity and forgiveness. And for this feisty one, that's a tall order!!!!
Sun - so sorry about the cake...and rabbit turds???? eeeewwwww
Keep taking your same dosage, and BITCH!!!!!! And don't let anticipatory fear get the best of you. (Good words, huh, fen?)
Everything may be ok...just watch yourself and your moods.:l
NC and Piper...awesome!!!

ok....gotta go slap some make up on this 29 year old face and hobble to work
I love you all and Rog, I am so happy you are busy.
Georgie, may I please go to "Wicked" with you??
and Vicki....keep your butt right where you are:h:h

Where to start.....Jan, I'll start with you. Even though you probably have arthritis, if you don't start feeling better insist on getting an MRI or at the very leaset an xray. I have had arthritis for over 15 years! I am on celebrex BUT I still have this problem with the disks in my back and my spine is not curved at the bottom - it is "L" shaped which is causing me all the pain. I have been on those steroid packs many, many times.....I hope they help you, but they did not help me. Hopefully, your pain is just from arthritis...but did they give you something for that? Like celebrex? See how you feel after taking those steroids....what is it...6 the first day, 5 the next....and so on and so on.....oh, also, watch out for the side affect of flushing in the face and massive headaches. I'm not trying to scare you....I'm just telling you this in case it happens to you.....okay? PM me or call me any time if you want to talk about it. I think it's time we all retire and move to Tick Hollow, or Helen Georgia, or Jackson Missiissippi, or Destin Beach, Florida.........I'm ready when y'all are.
Oh, and Jan, we are your family and your true friends....'nuff said. Sometimes it's best not to venture outside our thread......:l

Sunny.....WHY do doctors do that? My doctor switched me several years ago from prozac to Effexor - but only because I felt I needed a boost. I had been on prozac for many moons...The Effexor is working wonderfully.....I did recently increase the doseage and the doctor had no problem with that. YOU keep on that doc.....or find another one. I'm sorry about Daisy jumping on the table....but I have to admit that it made me laugh. She would fit right in here at my house....Riley jumps up on the table or counters if we leave anything out....like a plate of bacon, or once I made a sandwich for Jimmy for work and I had to go in Jeremy's room....I came back and the whole sandwich was completely gone! No crumbs or evidence left behind. You just have to laugh, dear friend.

Well, I really have to run...my Mom & Dad are on their way to my house....and it is SO DIRTY! I am NOT exaggerating.....I have christmas decorations sitting around in bags, I haven't dusted in TWO weeks because I was away last weekend, oh...it's terrible. So, I will be back when I can...maybe not until Monday because Addy is staying with us until Sunday night.

I love you all, each and every one of you.

Oh-and Swannie-please come over to the US......we love you so much.....if you were here today you could help me clean and decorate!!! But I wouldn't just make you work...I'd take you for a walk to the pond and we could go in the woods on the trails on the 4 wheeler....we could go to Longwood Gardens and look at all the Christmas Displays.....please??

Wake Up ! Ha! Good Morning All..........Time to get up and get your Christmas shopping going. Keep Jamin'

I haven't even started shopping, Tony!
Grateful, I love the Gardens you mentioned. They must be VERY popular. I even googled driving directions, 14 hour drive. ((sigh)) We're gonna get Swannie over here one day and pass her from friend to friend, OK?
Jan, go to the lake and just whack some bushes. Chopping things always makes me feel better. :H And there's always something around here or the cabin that needs whacking.
A renter called whose dad was an antique collector, but his wife recently passed away, and he's in a wheelchair so moved in with her. She wants me to go with them tomorrow and see if I'm interested in any of his things. He needs the money, and she said from being in my house they would fit right in with my stuff. Just what I need, more stuff, huh Rog? :H Hubs will have a cow, and we're dead broke this time of year. I get 'the budget talk' every night!

Good morning, my dear family! Roger, I loved your post and one of my favorite verses in the Bible that I hold on to the promise every single day is Roman 8:28
"And we know that ALL things work together for good to those who love God" God takes what Satan means for our harm and turns it around for our good. I can't explain all the bad things that we go through, but one thing I know for sure is that God is going to make it work out for what is best for us.
Grateful, I am on my way to your house to help you clean and then we will go to Longwood Gardens! It looks amazing!
Sunni, I hope this med works out for you. If not, change doctors or insist that he put you back on what you were on!
Jan, I am praying that you feel better! The pain in my hands woke me up at 5:00 this morning! :upset: Then I made coffee and when I sat down to drink a cup, I dropped it all over me! Stupid hands! They feel better after alot of heat on them this morning!
NC and Piper, you are doing so awesome! Do you ever read the "My Story" thread? You need to find and read Roger's (tlrgs) and mine (sick of being sick). It will encourage you that YOU CAN DO THIS!
Georgie, so happy you had a good time at the Christmas party!
I love you all so much and hope everyone has a GREAT day! Love, Vicki

MB, I LOVE Callaway Gardens, and the little rock store and restaurant just beyond at the top of the mountain. Sometime when you're up this way we'll go there, only 45 minutes from here.

I LOVE the Christmas lights!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rubywillow]

The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!! for december

Yes, and it's a HUGE attraction then. We used to go at least once a year. Helen's beautiful at Christmas too. My fav thing is taking a carriage ride around town, bundled up in blankets and looking at the lights.
Tay and JC went to the woods to cut me a Christmas tree yesterday, and I told them 7'. He eyeballed one and brought back a 12' one! Hubs cut it off to 10', and put it up in the house, so let the decorating begin. I'll use the other boughs for decoration.
