Lumps in the jaw?

Dercum's Disease
#22

I wish I could stop the pain killers. I just can’t stand it without them, forget trying to work. Yesterday I had an extreme flair in my left arm at the inside of elbow area, I know a new alien was making it way in my arm, it hurt like someone was sticking me with a huge needle that was on fire. This morning I can’t feel anything there, but my low back is very stiff and painful.

I did find out the the Lyrica I had been trying to take was causing the extreme edema in my legs and ankles, that were the only thin part of my anatomy. I was so disgusted, they blew up one day and tripled in size, OMG that hurt. But my FNP told me to quit the Lyrica that it just was not the med for me.

So still take tramadol, in the day time and at night I take a Volteran which is an nsaid. But now I really need to be careful because of my kidneys, what a mess. Where do we start? How do we proceed. We have to choose one evil over another so to speak. Pain or drug that damages our organs? I have always believed that quality over quanity. Who wants to live forever if we are miserable? I just want my life to be a good one with as little pain as possible. I want to be the person God intended me to be. But lately I feel like I have been robbed of that life and I resent it very much. All of us have so much to live for. Sorry everyone I got off on a rant. Can’t help myself, its been a rough couple of weeks for me emotionally and its gotten to me. Needed to unload a little.

Love you all, GOD BLESS,

Thank you so much for your support. I love you all, I had to unload or I would have exploded!

My life is very blessed I have many wonderful things to be thankful for after I read my own I was on top of the pitty pot!!! I plan on living to be a very old lady, someone like maybe Maxine one of my idols!!! :o) I love her type of sarcasitic humor.

I pray for all my Carpelace family and that we all have pain free times and a cure for this disease. God has a plan and I know I am part of it. I just have to remind myself from time to time.

God Bless you all,
Brennie

Well my friends…we got our new granddaughter tonight and it was so perfect. We were there with our balloons, flowers, pandas and our other granddaughter Dana made a beautiful sign welcoming Bai Hua. She is so precious. I can’t even imagine the pain she has been through in her short life of almost 12 years. Her little legs are so bowed she is walking on her ankles. She falls all the time and always gets up with a smile and never complains. She did so well I could not believe it! No tears and she responded so well to us without knowing any English. I am sooo glad our son found her and brought her here to get help with her poor legs and feet. We are so lucky to have such a sweet wonderful granddaughter! Life is always full of nice surprises so we have to stick around despite the DD. We can’t let them win! Her wonderful five year old sister, adopted from the same orphanage at age 9 months is wonderful with her and will help her adjust beautifully. My heart is joyful tonight even though the aliens are trying their best to get in there and put a damper on my fun!
