It's annoying, humiliating and seeeeriously hurts my self esteem.
Not being able to articulate a thought is the worst part. I sound like an idiot. It's terrible.
Trying to stay positive is hard sometimes. Even for me.
I know this blog is typically sunshine and rainbows but right now I am just gonna beg for your good thoughts and prayers.
Please.
My Doctor is has prescribed a new med for me. This med is typically used for depression but is also often used for nerve pain. I am hoping it will not only help the pain but will make me feel better about life in general.
Have you talked to your Doctor about the shingles vaccine? DO IT!! Typically shingles happens after the body goes through stress (like mine, almost dying) or a long hospital stay (like me 7 days ICU) but it can be picked up ANYTIME the immune system is compromised.
The pain is HORRIBLE...do yourself a favor and do whatever you can to avoid it!
March is filled with things to look forward to:
(no particular order)
1. weekend in Monterey for a wedding/getaway with the hubz.
2. SPRING!!!
3. weekend in Hollister to see my adorable niece perform in Annie (my sis is the musical director too) and spend time with my family, who we haven't seen since November
4. Big Daddy has 2 weeks vacation
5. Stay-cation goodness
6. I WILL be better, the new meds will work and prayers WILL be answered
7. My folks come home from their 2 year mission in Colorado
8. I get to send my Favorite Things to a bloggy friend
9. I get to open a bloggy friend's Favorite Things that she send to me
OK I ended it all on a high note. Blogging IS healing, thanks for listening!!
I already feel better

Dear Gawd I am getting the vaccine now. Just reading your pain makes me want to avoid it at all costs.
Pray for you my friend!
It is therapeutic to just write things down sometimes. I'm excited for March too. Enough of this winter cold already. I'm sorry that your meds have been driving you crazy. Hopefully the new one will be much better! :) Definitely will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. And thanks for the advice on the shingles vaccine. Both my mom and sister have had them so I really ought to check that out.
I'm so sorry to hear that the healing process has taken a turn for the unpleasant. I think it is good to grieve for what is lost; otherwise, you cannot embrace what is to come. You've lost a lot in a short span of time. I think it is good to think of that along with the gift of healing and life. You have an amazing attitude. I hope I would be as poised and classy as you are in the same situation.
Peace be with you,
Angela
Ugh! That always happens! As soon as you say it...it haunts ya.
Hugs to you, sweety. You know...non touching ones. Cuz they don't hurt.
You poor thing, but I know how you feel about not wanting to take any kind of medication. I am the same way. Hugs!
Wishing you well. That's the bad thing about medicine. It may take away one thing, but leaves you with a whole slew of other bad things, like feeling funny or whatever.
Thoughts and prayers coming your way.
Blogging absolutely IS healing! And many many thoughts and prayers coming your way!
Hope the new meds really help! It's terrible when you don't quite feel like yourself.
Your list at the end made me excited about March too! Thanks!
I don't what the docs prescribed for you. But I have some nerve pain issues and they subscribed me Sevella, it is new and it a seratonin (sp?) uptake drug and seems to be working pretty well. Thought I would pass it along to you. I hope you find relief without having to live in a drug fog!
PRayers are in. I'm sure thinking about you. Call or text ANYTIME.
I am glad that you find comfort in blogging. It's been a rough go of it for you and it sounds like you could use all the help you can get:-) Hang in there!!
Awww crap, Darlin ;(
So sorry to hear that.
Hopefully the new meds will do the trick.
I remember my thing was getting totally addicted to the painkillers I was on. Had to switch meds.
((hugs to you))
Positive thoughts & prayers coming your way!! I've been reading your blog for a few months & so sorry you're dealing with this.
Hang in there!!

You have my prayers... I hope you start feeling better soon!!!
Here is a thought... have you seen a chiroprator about your pain?? {My husband is in chiropratic shool right now} It's truely amazing what can be done. It's not just to fix you after an accident. After being adjusted a few times I no longer have headaches {no meds!}. I know that's along way from where you are but you may want to look into it.
Anyway I hope you feel better!! And enjoy Monterey, I really miss that place!!
I hope that the new meds help you feel better and as fast as they can! I will keep you in my prayers everyday!
Awwww friend, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry!!! That is so awful! If it helps, you sound brilliant always on your blog. :) My prayers are with you that your doc finds a better med to help you!!!
I've been busy and a slacker on my blogging...but I hope you know you are always in my thoughts. Funny how blogging does that, huh?! Even though I don't know ya in real life I'm thinking of you and hoping you are feeling better!
