Just A Heads Up

On the 15th I have an appointment with a rheumatologist to discuss new treatment options for my Fibromyalgia (I'm dealing with a potentially fatal side effect from my current treatment) and this may or may not include an adjustment to my pain control medication. I will also be exploring the option of Medical Marijuana. During that time I will not be acting in an admin capacity on the forums. I will be participating (keeping read up on happenings), just not making any judgement calls. If you need anything in-game wise please continue to feel free to contact me, but if I am not able to help you at that moment please leave me be. I will not hesitate to delete people off my x-fire, it is a privilege, not a right, to be on MY xfire friend list.

Also (as I've told some of you privately in the last week) I will be starting the process of surgical correction to a birth defect. I was born with a slight talipes (club footing) and I can not be on my feet for more than 2-3 hours at a time. I need a surgical procedure that basically breaks the bones in my feet and resets them in their proper alignment. Its something that should have been done as an adolescent but my parents had other priorities I guess.

For those who believe in a higher being please send up some healing thoughts and keep me in your prayers. Both process will most likely include an increase in pain one way or another.

I really appreciate all the well wishes. I'm really nervous right now... This weekend I'm gonna try and game it up as much as I can so that I can get my mind off of all this.

Oh Nite.. I know how hard Fibromyalgia is, as you know. I also found out I also have psoriatic arthritis on top of the Fibromyalgia. I could take a med for the latter but considering there is a chance for cancer and my family is very prone to cancer on all sides, I have declined to take it, despite knowing it could relieve my pain a lot. I'm pretty sure I have clinical depression at this point as well.

You are in my prayers Nite. I hope you get things worked out. I don't know you very well but I do consider you a friend, a bond formed in a shared pain. Peace.

You talking Lyrica, Wulf?

And btw -- thanks for the kind words.. this disease is an animal in and of itself, its nice knowing I'm not alone.... but at the same time my heart breaks for anyone else who has this "monkey on their back."

I'll primarily be in SWTOR. Download the F2P and join me on Beregen Colony. I'll primarily be playing my two newer toons -- Dirty'flirty (empire) -- a sith sorcerer. and Z'abriel (republic) a Sith Jedi Sentinel.
