Colleen,
I don't know if I'll join the teleconference. I've not been feeling well and have been pretty much inactive in the group for a week or two. I found out last week that my doctor won't prescribe my morphine sulfate contin at any higher dosage than I have now. I only have been taking a low dose, and it's clearly not enough. I'm not sure where I'm going to turn. Right now, I don't know what my involvement with Connect is going to be. Sorry I can't be more specific. Life is just too up in the air.

@jimhd, I am sorry to hear that you have not been feeling well. Your health is a priority. Sometimes, we all need to step back, and just get away from activities and responsibilities for a while. For myself even on a good day, writing a reply can become emotionally and physically exhausting. But when compounded by uncertainty and struggles over personal issues it can easily become too much. Jim, you are a special person in this mentor group, and even in your silence, we feel your presence. You are part of a group who cares because we all have conditions that limit our availability at times. We understand and we care.
Peace and Prayers.
Rosemary

@jimhd, sorry you are not feeling good. Hopefully you will find some relief soon. Until then, your health is more important and we all understand if you need to step away. Take care friend. ~ John

Jim, I echo what Rosemary said. You know what is best for you. Please use Connect when it is supportive for you. Take care of yourself.

Wrapping you in prayers!! Life is hard and it’s no fun when all ours stars are not in line with our medical providers. I pray you get relief soon.
Hugs
Dawn

@jimhd We will be here when you are ready to return! Take whatever time you need.

Teresa

Wishing you all the best, @jimhd Take good care!

@jimhd -- I, too, am really sorry to hear about you not feeling good and about the prescription. (I read your post last week, but am a bit tardy responding). When you are able to be on Connect, you've been such a critical help and connection for members in the Mental Help group -- just invaluable. Sure appreciate you.

Hello Jim, I am sorry to hear that you aren't doing well right now. We certainly understand your being inactive for a bit. I have two friends that are in the same boat as you. It's no fun, for sure. I hope you can get your medication issue resolved. Big Hug. -Terri
