Hello everyone

Well I've come a long way since my stroke on 7 17 07. I'm typing some and using not only my left hand but my right too. I'm speaking a little better at least it seem like it to me. And I have not lost anything in 4 days. (and let me tell you thats a big deal) I have adoped that little stray cat I named booger he stays outside during the day, comes in for lunch then runs off until dinner. He sleeps with me at night. Somehow he brings me comfort at night with his purrring. I called the spca and with my disability they will give him all his shots for 11.00 and neuter him for 15.00 so I made the apointment and I 'll have it done. He needs me and I guess I need him too. Oh did I mention he was born with one ear and no tail and no voice he can't meow but he sure can purrrr. He's grey with long fur on his back and short everywhere else. lol THAT'S MY BOOGIE BOY he he

Well I got off subject.

Pain, It's the burning, stabbing, constant aching pain. It's makes me so tired. Sometimes all I can do is curl up under a heating blanket and just pray for it to stop. The last time I say the dr in Nov he said It was pain from being depressed. He put me on Celex hasn't helped the pain and I think it just makes me tired..... I ran out of money in Nov so I didn't go back I now have coverage. So the queation is how do I get my dr to understand that I have Pain. Am I depressed hell ya pain is depressing I want to do rehab but I need to get some help with the pain. So when there ready for me at rehab I can give it my all. How do you talk to your doctor. Should I ask to see a neurologist? Would he understand more? ive been on a roll lately but so hasn't the pain I'm kind of afraid I will regress if I don't take care of the Pain. I don't expect to be pain free but how's about a little break!!!!!
