My leukemia's back.

[LittleLakePhil]

I'm not good with it either , that's why I'm hoping my hubby's cancer isn't back, just don't want to see him suffer anymore or the worst

So sorry hun......
We are always here...... If you need.

I *think* some people are somehow predisposed to chemical addiction and some aren't. Personally I hated narcotics the few times I have had them. Make me feel like my brain is floating outside my head. It has been years since I've taken one, I think it was Percocet (Oxycodone and acetaminophen). So I'm with you, I don't get the "attraction".

It's probably true......I was a heavy drinker for years but never crossed the line to alcoholism.
My wife however drank less but really struggled with it.... Almost cost us everything.
She's been doing good for a while now.....

Glad to hear that, Phil. It's hard to see a loved one struggle.

Thank you Gardener. She's traveled a much harder road with me. I like to tell how before we'd started dating how I was dating her roommate. My car broke down outside the house they shared in the winter. There had been a storm, lines were down so I had to walk to my big brothers to get help. The roads weren't plowed neither. She asked her roommate if she was going to go with me and when she told her no, she said "I'll go". We walked must have been 2 or 3 miles in knee deep snow. I don't know why she did it, but I'm glad she did.

Sounds like you got a real treasure there. Praying for the two of you at this time.

That wasn't meant to be a crass statement.... Although I was tired when I wrote it.
I'm in so much pain much of the time. So I can get crabby.... But there are so many people that demonize pain killer and I've even heard them want to make it illegal to prescribe them for all but cancer patients..... If it came to that i'd have to do something.....I barely have a life now.

I hope it doesn't come to that. I don't think those who are demonizing it realize that it does give others with severe, chronic pain a little better quality of life.

I was physically addicted to Prednisone to.....I just quit taking that for my lungs. Hoping I can stay off them for a while...... But they really do help with pain too.....

My step-dad take Prednisone for his lungs, too. He has silica in them from 50 years of foundry work.

It's probably true......I was a heavy drinker for years but never crossed the line to alcoholism.
My wife however drank less but really struggled with it.... Almost cost us everything.
She's been doing good for a while now.....

Glad to hear she's doing well now.

I have COPD and Astma....... But the longer I'm away from that shop the better my breathing seems to get.......I'm hoping I can stay off it for a while..... Generally I can't.

Phil my brother has had diabetes since freshman college, he is 67. has had quadruple by-pass, a pacemaker and defib thingie, has the neuropathy also. His foot doctor suggested lidocaine patches . He has used them quite awhile and it helps him. After a time he has to move them elsewhere to get good effect. He could barely walk before them.

Good morning Team Rachel

Good morning Team Rachel. Wind is wicked outside today, but thankfully there’s a tiny bit of moisture in it this morning. Severe fire weather on top of severe drought is never a good thing. Prayers for those on the front lines today!

Mine had overall been better since I started diet and dropped weight..... My A1C being better had helped.... But last couple of days it's flared up..... But still milder than it was.
