Ok, I'm pretty medically saavy, but how in the heck did I get a Boil/Abcess just below the back of my knee without knowing that something was even going on? I went to the Dr today, he confirmed it. Scripted two antibiotics and...

LillianPearl Yea, tried that, got stuff out, but not all of it. I've been doing the warm moist compresses. The cellulitis is down about 40% and the area has walled itself off. He didn't want to lance it at this point because it has improved so much in the last 48...

LillianPearl You're most welcome! Glad it helped. You may need to repeat it one more time, as their oil glands secrete naturally. At the very least wash them with a soothing shampoo and conditioner. Vet Solutions makes one that smells great and soothes.

LillianPearl I agree, it was probably an ingrown hair. It's been hot and I do shave my legs. I also am on immunosuppressants for an autoimmune disease. Thank you for the link. It was more helpful than others have been. I've been spraying it with warm water under our...

Can anyone tell me of sites where I can make money writing articles other than Helium? I am looking for sites where they will pay me by hits or by adsense, preferably hits.

I was wondering how many mylotters out there experience chronic pain? Initially, I had brachial plexus nerve damage, which severely aggravated degenerative disks in my back and lead to stenosis. I finally found an amazing...

LillianPearl If you get the thyroid condition managed, you should start to feel a little better, at the very least. I have had many friends with thyroid conditions. Is there anything that they can do for the spinal mass? Surgery, radiation, etc. Sometimes even...

LillianPearl Trying not to focus on the pain and keeping your mind busy are two very good coping skills that I learned in Chronic Pain Rehab. Getting good sleep, also helps you be able to better deal with the pain. I am not a good sleeper and was recently diagnosed...

LillianPearl I got some massage therapy through my osteopath and it was amazing. I've heard acupuncture can really help with fibro. If I could afford it, I would go for massotherapy every two weeks, but being a full time student, it just isn't in my budget.

LillianPearl I am definitely going to go see pain management. I also am going to ask for more aggressive treatment for my autoimmmune condition. I NEED to be in the best state that I can.

LillianPearl I know the feeling, I'm 33. I don't want to be disabled. I'm convinced that with the proper medical treatment we can live stable and happy lives. I'm a full time student. I want this new career so badly!!!

LillianPearl I think my scanner/fax/printer came with that software, I'll have to try it. Initially, they thought I had RA because a lot of my symptoms are in my hands and feet. I take Cymblata and Welbutrin for it, but it doesn't help the inflammatory pain. Only the...

LillianPearl I guess it is just what our society has come to. No one is accountable for anything anymore. They don't care if they inconvenience others, so long as the do what they need or want. When I was growing up my parents made sure that I held up my end of my...
