Fredfriend,

I am not familiar with glove liners, could you please explain what they are?

Thanks,

Gosiatracz6,

I hope you were able to help your husband and look forward to hearing an update.

Happy to hear that you are having less pain after the trigger point injection. Hope you had a low pain holiday.

FredFriend,

First let me say, thank you, for sharing the beautiful journey that you went on with your dear friend. I also want to share my sympathy for the loss of such a wonderful friend. I have found over the years that when I have been called to duty to be a caregiver for a friend or loved one that my pain goes to the back burner. I do not…[Read more]

This ARD & CAPPS sounds so scary. I am happy to meet you, Deep. I love to make new friends.
I have a list of pain issues but the one that sounds a little similar is the struggle I have with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). I know the pain that can come with the muscles cramping has made me feel as if I was going to pass-out before. Thankfully my…[Read more]

I am going to try this, always on the lookout for new things that may help me deal with the pain and stress.

Thanks for sharing,

The games are a great tool to have in our pain toolbox to help us distract from the pain. You can find really fun games for free in the app stores on smart phones and tablets.
Since my grandson got me hooked on playing Minecraft Pocket Edition with him I have even started my own little world.
The building and creating takes my mind off the…[Read more]

This is so much fun seeing both of you together. BD, you could pass for a member of ZZ Top!!

BD and Marinesargeant meet face to face after talking with each other for years online.

For many of us here at TPC, we have been talking to each other online for years and we found TPC to call our online home. It is always so wonderful when one or more of us get to do the face to face meet-ups.

BD, I know I speak for all of us old timers when I say it is so nice to see you.

Hi everyone,
This is Noki4 and I am sharing a couple photo’s for my dear friends, BD and Marinesargeant.

Marinesargeant was recently on vacation and had the opportunity to meet the man behind the screen that we
all have been talking to you for years.

This first picture is BD on the Lonoh.

I love how you said that it is important to not let the pain control your actions too much. That is wonderful!

We must never let the pain control us or own us. I talk out loud to my pain and I tell my pain to back off and that it will not cause me to stop living my life.

Moving forward always — take care

Lizzben,

Thank you for sharing. My apologies for taking so long to write a reply. I have been dealing with dental issues as well as my pain issues and I found myself being over-whelmed so I shut down for a while.
Sometimes I have to go to my safe mode, which is where I take care of me and put up a force field to shut out the daily stressers.
I…[Read more]

Hi Lizzben,

My 8 year old grandson kept wanting me to play Minecraft on the iPad/iPhone. Before long I found myself sitting in the evenings working on increasing our little town. It is only he and I in this world so no worry about anything being destroyed. 🙂

He looks forward to coming to my house after school each day to see what new buildings…[Read more]

BD took this one so he could show the tight quarters. He said to think about mall parking lots that require a 5 point turn to get out of the space.

Fishing boat

This is Noki4 I am sharing these pictures for BD. This morning at the TPC chat, BD explained how you can tell the difference in a fishing boat vs a shrimping boat.
The shrimping boats have the big nets hanging from them. 🙂
