The semi downer medication diet

Super important that people find the right balance between medications and life... Diet is huge. I've been on so many medications in the past. Usually eating well, but I need to make some changes…Continue

Karl Wegener commented on Kathy Michau's blog post 'A LIttle Sad'
Religion was an issue for my friend... He had a variety of family history which made him not so much of a believer... Many people (at work and his new home) overly abused him to accept Christ which he neither accepted nor really denied. I was very…

I'm sorry to hear this... I worked for a few years in Respiratory at a local hospital, my friend since 6th grade had been there for nearly 15 years... Had a wonderful retirement package that I did now get... Felt as if he pulled a muscle in his…

Oh I said I had years of medications... since I was very young... I'm 47 now and recently had to remove my teeth because they were chipping and cracking... some due to clinching and stressful lifestyle... SIngle dad and son on... But now the…

Yes, this is the best non-medicated way.... These are nice.. Traction also helps if you can get it...
I have had the internal neck stimulator temporary implants along the spine in the cervical and upper back area... (twice) and had problems with it…

diazepam or Valium, is used for twitches as you put it... I had that on both shoulders earlier last year... I worked a very repetitive job. I'm on disability now...
Mine twitching is inside my elbows... very strange.. something…

Wow, you have a lot going on... Normalcy is what we make of it... I guess.
You are on the Med-go-round. Yes, it is nice to find that level plato.... Nucyenta is one of the rare pills I feel I can give a nod too. I have known someone with…

Hi. No..I don't much outside my home. I meant I have to work as in just push thru and not give in to the sleepiness. Otherwise I'd just sleep all day. I quit working full time 3 yrs ago and now I am the taskmaster for an entertainment…

Please NOTICE:
I'm no longer working... I actually might try one other alternative:
You suggested that you would return to work with a (medicated) feeling...
When I was working last, sewing and inspecting and folding... I was taking Nucynta -…

Hi Karl. I have some of the same problems you do including the sensativity to drugs. I was on the Fentenyl patch for 18 months and found that it made me really spacey. Do you find that the Butrans patch is better than the Fentenyl in that respect? I…

Pain Meds...
I can't speak for everyone, but I will tell you I deal with Fibro, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Rieters and so on.... been through all the med-go-rounds that most of us had... But for pain I've found little that works... Oxy (pills), Durigesic patch.... Morphine a few months back and did have good things to say about Nucynta, but recently I got a new Burtrans patch, once a week... Helped me greatly today.. most normal overcast days dipping in the upper to mid 50's like today.... I normally wouldn't…See More

What a pain pain is...
I deal with A.S., Rieters, Fibro and other problems. Recently I had most of my teeth removed. Absesses, infection and TMJ pain through the roof. Now that all of that crud is out of my body... I should be feeling better, only my Jaw is so poorly equipped to handle the pain... Dealing with soft foods. But my face and cheek bone feels like I keep fighting Mike Tyson and he keeps hitting me over and over in the jaw. Sitting the the dentist chair for hours at a time.. My neck issues of old jump back…See More

Karl Wegener replied to Bill Cohen's discussion 'Youtube Series on Fibromyalgia'
This was an intelligent perspective. I have a R.A. doc because I also have Ankylosing Spondylistis... At 47 I have lost most of my teeth due to many factors including long history of medications for pain... This is a broad view I've seen change…

Bad energy feeds bad feelings...
This was my wife and I... Never anything productive and cold feelings at best going back and forth.... Mainly back at me. Enough... My son and I are much happier now... Been what seems like forever since I've been on here. Pain and pills still issues, but healthier for getting out of an unhealthy relationship.
Went out on a real date tonight.... Talked about real feelings and it was just that.. A date... An adult, non sexual, conversational, getting to know someone date. My wife and I are…
