Just want to share some exciting news with you all. Leigh contacted me privately, outside of MDJ, today- she says she is feeling so good today that she has even put some make up on to celebrate( she has not worn make up for 5 years) plus she has carried out some light houshold chores!! She is totally TN free so the operation was a total success! What is more she does not need any of her medication that she was on prior to the operation as she has zero pains in face- how fantastic is this!!!! She misses you all greatly, yet, hopes that you understand that even though she is showing positive signs of recovery from operation as well as being TN free she still needs time to recover fully! She is on the right track, yet, still much more healing to happen so she needs to take it slowly for a little while. Plus she needs to spend quality time especially over the holidays with her beautiful family. She wants to come back only when she is strong enough to give all her friends all of her attention, too. In the meantime, will be the link for Leigh to you all! She asked me to say a Very Merry Christmas To You All. She hope that your pains will be either nothing or very low this holiday season. She send you all her cuddles. She also wants to say a huge thank you to you all- each one of you, especially all her friends here for all of your beautiful support and prayers. Her energy level is low- no energy for chatting on here. She needs to lie down much too. If you make any comments/messages to her here then will copy and paste them into my home e-mail to send to Leigh for You! Just thought you would all be encourage to hear the latest news about our lovely friend Leigh- just had to share this with you all! Am so happy that my friend is making good progress in her recovery as well as being totally TN free. Keep praying for her please as well as keep being patient. Remember will pass on any messages you have to her. Many thanks. Giant gentle cuddles from Clarita winging their way to you all right now xoxooxox   |

Hey Rayn, Yes, Have been fairly challenged today yet tomorrow is a new day so keeping focused on positives! Angels sure have helped me as even though have felt pretty delicate have finished all the washing as well as all the ironing so intend to do no more until after Christmas hopefully ! Have also cooked, cleaned bathroom, made hubby's packed lunch for tomorrow & sorted out some clothes for charity. Oh my gosh, nearly fell over on the ice earlier- angels must have steadied me there, too!! Just know that God is taking really good care of me right now. Thanks everyone for your warm wishes to this Devon lady & her loved ones as well as to my adopted sis( feel so close to Leigh she is like a sister) Leigh in Yorkshire and her loved ones for holiday season. We wish you all A Most Wonderful Christmas/Holiday Season for You & Your Loved Ones, too! Have just pasted on all your messages to Leigh via home e-mail. Massive cuddles, warmest wishes and blessings and loving friendship for all time, Clarita xoxooxox |

I agree that you may want to seek out a new physician because if they think Ibuprofin will help with the amount of pain you are in they are crazy! We all know how much you hurt and Ibuprofin has never touched even an average toothache for me. At this time I cant even take it for other medical reasons but thats beside the point. I truly think you need something stronger for your pain. If they dont want to give you anything stronger and Tramadol worked for you I dont see why you couldnt continue its use. My Rheumy said it is not considered a Narcotic and said it was a non habit forming pain reliever. Obviously it can be argued that anything taken long term can become habit forming but I am only going by what I learned by him and what I researched on line. I never had a problem with it myself in terms to addiction. I do hope you find some relief very soon. Have a wonderful Holiday and please keep us updated on your progress. Hugs, Stacey I suffer from Rapid Progressive MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy, Migraines, Neuropathy, IBS, Narcolepsy, Arrythmia, Arthritis and too much more complete list on profile.

Love & Hugs, Stacey |
