Oh mate,  i've lost count of how many times my spc has been ripped out,mainly  through negligence from nurses.Don't worry mate,even though it's not  pleasant i think the trauma should subside.

Did it hurt?  I have no feeling there so I can only imagine.

My doc told me that as long as it is replaced within 2 hours  
everything should be OK.  2 hours is all the time it takes for the  
body to start healing itself & you have to go back to surgery to be  
cut again.


 
 

Re: [QUAD-L] Neurontin

[KK Batte]

What I did (for the month I tried it) was go down on Neurontin &  
start the Lyrica at the same time.


Went to Neurologist today.  He is not changing something that works  
(Neurontin) for pain & seizures to something new that has the same  
side effect (dry mouth).

Does anyone  have any insight into this plan  or recommend other plans?
 
How about dental?
 
It's so confusing!
 
I'm 42, c5/6 complete, healthy, living in San Diego.
 
Thank you s much!!!

[QUAD-L] Neurontin

[rawilson7]

Wind changing over to Lyrica how did you do this? It is my understanding 
that the two drugs cannot be taken together. I have cut way back on Neurontin 
and the pain level went through the roof.Austin

I found this little program that makes typing fun and easy especially for people that have a hard time typing but can use a trac ball or other input devices and it  is really easy to use.

Same here. I have wanted to give up countless times, but it always seemed 
that God had a plan for me. I imagine that is true for everyone on this 
list. I do know that most of the folks on this list are a lot tougher than I 
am.  Willis

Thanks Dana,
I worked hard for what I did - no harder than most people here  tho.   You
just keep going no matter how many rejections you  get.  Never quit, never 
give

up.  Now, I need a rest.

d for you Dave. I could retire next year, but I'm shooting for 4  more
years, which would make 30. I never thought I would live this long,  much
less work this long. My worry is what to do after  retirement.
