Geoff often promises to massage me, but he forgets, but when he can't do it, my daughter will. When I was a teenager, my mom would massage me before bedtime to help me deal with the pain. Also, my doctor has prescribed massages as part of my pain therapy. I haven't been in a while because of all the other stuff going on, but when my infusions are over, I'll start that up again.<BR/><BR/>Believe me. I know how hard it can be to squeeze everything in. I struggle to shove in a 40 hour work week on top of getting infusions twice a week that knock me out for half a day, but you have to take care of yourself. You deserve it!<BR/><BR/>I do shove the baths to the weekend, but I try to set aside at least ten minutes in the morning and evening for a massage.The Lupie Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634372382931284916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152676674839448108.post-46013937389638301292007-09-20T15:22:00.000-07:002007-09-20T15:22:00.000-07:00Ladies, that was too bad about the woman who got s...Ladies, that was too bad about the woman who got shot, but remember not all of us have the financialwerewithall for massages etc,maybe the only relief we can get is the meds. Taking time for a bath if you work and feel crappy all you want is a quick shower, food and meds and to bed if home life allowsrbh68https://www.blogger.com/profile/16103787407722152450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152676674839448108.post-71064302979511940502007-09-20T14:17:00.000-07:002007-09-20T14:17:00.000-07:00You are more than welcome.

Some people just inspire others to do good deeds, you and Geoff are in that group.<BR/><BR/>As for pain meds, I know what you mean. I have horrid migraines and have big drugs. I have been chastised by my doctor for not taken meds at the beginning of pain, to stop it early. I always either block it out, hoping it will go away, or block it subconsciously, and then when I become aware of it, it's too late. I hate taking the big drugs because they make me feel hungover when it's done. And sometimes the regular cure is worse than the symptoms. Triptan drugs cause me to have neck cramps. Which is worse, migraine or neck spams?Pookies Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151533580860277310noreply@blogger.com
