@kimspr3 I want to thank you for the private message. You really did make my day with your more than glass half full attitude. When I'm in pain and not feeling good it's hard for me to be around family or friends. So when I received your private message with..."Do you have friends and family to visit, laugh with ETC. I seldom am around people but when I am it's like pain medication." it gave me warm fuzzies because I had a few times that I could look back on and put myself in that situation. A positive attitude may not cure us but I really think it helps get us on a road to feeling better.
Have I shared Dr. Amit Sood's website with you? It is my goto site when I need to get myself in a better frame of mind. There are a lot of short videos that not only teach but get you feeling better.
Hoping for a pain free day for all...
John

I did not see Dr. Amit Sood's website, Can you send again if you have a chance?
I did do research on Oxymorphone and I called my Pharmacist. I do have some of the side effects, very anxious, depressed crying constantly. Husband said I look stoned and he does't like it. I told the Pharmacist I was confused she said, not good call dr. on Mon. I hate calling him! With Adhesive Arachnoiditis it effects the Hormones so I need, [good luck] a Endocrinologist who will listen??? I didn't take the Oxy this morning. try not to.
Speaking of socializing with others. We were invited to our friends home today. They are Veterinarians so that is a plus, they have furry friends for me to hug. one is an Akita, very old now not doing well I'm also his God-mother, John, so hard for me to let go of pets. Having PTSD they were my comfort, holding these big dogs I feel safe.
I understand not being around others when in pain, I don't want to go! But I have to get out of my home, I don't want to. I look old and ugly now. I lost what kept me going. I'll stay a short time. Our friends have a great since of humor now, that good for the sole!
My brother died 2013 Pancreatic Cancer and that was my sister-in-law chance to really be the mean person she is and there went my niece and nephews. She used to call my mother "hey you" I miss him I told I wished she had died, she told me she hears that all the you said nothing wrong. We have fewer friends since this happened to me. My poor husband. I have so much guilt. Isn't it nice to belong to Mayo Connect, SMILE
I never tell people how I feel in a social situation, they ask out of courtesy. For me to get out means a new environment, I bit of independence, my choice to go out, get dressed, stay as long as I want, and LAUGH!
Now thats a plus. I hope you can see family or friends even if it's only for an hour. Today I will try and use them as my opiate. Seeing their pets interact is always a funny surprise.
Wishing you a great day!
