Hi folks. Hope everyone is ok..
Just having some time offline.. Bit fed up lately but will be ok. Sorry if I've missed any pocket duties.. And hello to any newbies that I've not greeted yet.

I'll be popping in and out but probably not posting much so just assume I'm there supporting everyone, lol..

Catch you all later..

PS, still not heard about my appointment for the radio frequency lesion treatment. Wish they'd hurry up, in agony with the lower back :roll:

    hi Tony

    Good to see you back on the boards.

    Thanks girls :D
    Every have one of those days where you can't even be bothered to take your meds? I'm sooooooo sick of taking tablets... I honestly can't remember the last time I want on medication. My dossette is empty and I really don't want to do it.... I've had nothing yet. I know, I really should and I will.. Soon.... Thinking back.. I was probably about fourteen, not taking any tablets, just surgery, lol...
    Oh them were the days :lol:

    Thanks girls... :D
    I'm resting now. I popped to moggisons earlier as I'd bought some headphones, they were utter crap so took them back. Only cheap ones but one of the ear pieces didn't even work..
    Then picked my lovely missus up..

    I'm still on 50mcg/hr fentanyl, I'm reducing them, was on 75 but the pain specialist asked me to stop them slowly, he doesn't think they're doing anything., so far the pain is the same, hasn't increased dramatically. Change my patch in 3 days time, might try with just 25mcg..
    He also said that new research shows that long term opioid use can lower the immune system, I've been on them in one form or another for many many years. And now I'm on the sulfa I suppose it's better safe than sorry, I just hope that if I stop the patches altogether then he will help my pain somehow... Pinning some but not all hopes on this upcoming rfl treatment I'm waiting for..
    Hope everyone is alright today?
    Just seen your reply Diamond. Thanks hun. :D

    Hi Tony,
    Sorry to hear you're not feeling tip top at the moment. Must admit I have missed you on here, I always look out for the dancing man, he makes me chuckle.

    Anyway, you've been such a support on here to loads, including me, so take some time for yourself now. Look forward to seeing the dancing man around again

    Aw fishooks! I'm gonna have to do this again, aren't I? (((( )))) My Mum used to complain about 'these cheap backs'. I reckon you must have got yours at the same bargain basement. I hope it all eases off soon, Tony - in time for your Chippendale's act in the Cane & Able. :wink:
