S.S.D.
Jan 10th
Well it’s official, I am now a registered cripple. I finally got excepted into S.S.D. (Social Security Disability). Just the other day I put in my notice that I will no longer be working. I have not worked since last October 1st. I have been on Short Term Disability since that date. I just hope we can make it now on the reduced income. It will be hard but I think we can do it.
I would like to thank Ohio.Net for being so tolerant of me. Tom and John specifically. They have been helpful through this entire process and even before I went on short term disability. I am going to miss a lot of things but one thing in particular – Sandy’s Cookies!!
Thank you Ohio.Net/Bright.Net – Doylestown Communications, John and Tom!

Morphine
Sep 24th
My Morphine prescription was upped today. That’s a nice thing since now I don’t feel like I am abusing it. It should help in the mornings until I can get my Prednisone back. Since my Prednisone has been reduced to 5 Mg, is when my pain really shot up. I have a feeling though that I am not going to be able to get it back which is what I need to control both diseases.
Worst
Jun 16th
Today (this morning) was with out a doubt the worst pain to date. I give it a 9 out of 10 on the pain scale. My ankles are the worst, then my hands. My knuckles are actually swelling up and causing my hands to look like I finally have rheumatoid arthritis. I wanted to cry like a bitch it hurt so bad. I went and had more blood work done and that was a pain (literally) having to walk through the hospital. I can’t imagine what it would be like with out my pain medicines. Right now, the pain meds knocked my pain down from a 9 to a 7. That does not seem like much but I am VERY great-full for even that minor bit of relief (since I know what the full affect of this disease feels like minus any pain meds)!

Today
Jun 15th
My pain rating today is about an 8 out of 10 (10 being the worst). After pain meds kick in (about an hour or two after taking them) I am at about a 5 which is tolerable / manageable. My hands are the worst today followed by my lower back left hip and my knee’s & ankles. Swelling in my hands prevent me from even putting my own socks on today. Using my cane heavily today. Nothing else to report except the pain hurts…
