It's crazy, Alex. Back in 2000-2005 this forum was jumping with dozens of posts a day, sometimes an hour! It's like it has gone completely dead since then! That's too bad because it was very helpful...

Brigitte, I realize it's been 6 years since you posted about your arm pain, but...were you able to identify and resolve the problem? Your symptoms sound identical to mine when my C6-7 went...

If you're still around Dinkie Rockhound had a name change due to some issues back a *few* years ago. I decided to check in and found you, MarkN, TerriRN, and Marijo but don't know if any of you are...

Hi Mark! With the transition back in 07 or so Rockhound became gracie. I am glad to see a familiar name here!! I guess Thoracic Park disappeared because I haven't received an email from there in...

I agree with Dave. Especially if your bp is down at the neuro's office. It's ridiculous that they would change your regimen without a pattern of high bp and without consulting your neuro or epilepsy...

By the way, when a vertabra fails to fuse together in the lower spine it is usually a type of spina bifida. Partial closure is spina bifida occulta. Spina bifida usually causes paralysis from that...

If by first 3.5 fingers you mean the thumb side there may be issues with your C6-7. If from the pinkie side it could be C5-6. I had an accident in late 1999 that damaged both of those discs. I now...

Alex, I had to do a rapid titrate at one point and was sick as a dog!! So I can definitely empathize with you (and I was taking only 20mg/day at the time!). I have never been so miserable!! As for...

We live in Alaska. Both my husband and I suffer chronic pain and need to move to the Lower 48. The winters here are literally killing us and it gets worse every year! We want to move to Nevada near...

By the way, Kate, you comment in your profile that you have new daily persistent headaches. You might ask your pharmacy if they changed to Ascend about the time your headaches started because as I...

Kate, the squarish ones are Mallinckrodt. People were complaining about that brand being substandard 10 years ago. I think Ascend is new. It looks a lot like Roxane brand, so you may have had Roxane...

I have been on this pain med for years and was always able to get Roxane brand which worked great. All of a sudden everyone is carrying this new brand called Ascend. It's horrible! I constantly feel...

Mike, your GPA while keeping the forums going is incredible! Don't stress a single B, though that prof's methods seem very unethical! Once you graduate the GPA really won't mean a lot. I had one very...

This forum is dead compared to what it used to be! Back a few years ago I was Rockhound. Had to reregister. Anyway, I was wondering how things worked out with the VA for you, Alex. When my husband...

I failed to look at the date on the thread. I'm not terribly surprised Brion L has passed. He suffered through so much for so long, but Moose? That loss surprises me, Rose. Thanks for the update....

Actually, going through all the posts I see a few people I remember. Marmar, marijo to name a couple. I'm still in touch with Harrier, Still Smiling, and Blue Topaz to name a few. Oh, and Mark M and...

Hi Brion. Mark N, too. I just stopped in after a LONG absence. I was rockhound in the old forum. It certainly has changed! Funny, Brion, I was thinking about you just a few days ago and wondering how...
