Yes Foggy, I'm much to old to out be flipping 4-wheelers. It's actually quite a painful thing! My wrist is certainly lots of different colors, and I have lots of bruises all over from that crash but the most painful of all is this bitty little bruise on the inside of my left thigh. This little buggar hurts so bad it's difficult to even walk!
Gabapentin is also a miracle for shingles zingers.MsDaisy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 1:34 pm
Must be a full moon or something...
I had shingles, it sucked really bad. They want to give you pain pills that I can't take, narcotic pain relievers have always caused me way more GI pain than they're worth. But just in case anyone here does get shingles there is one thing that really works and is not a narcotic! Capsaicin ointment, it hurts like hell for the couple seconds it takes to rub it in but seconds later, BAM! the pain is almost completely masked! Great stuff!![]()
They prescribed Gabapentin but I haven’t taken it. Perhaps because of the location (on my scalp near the hairline) it hasn’t been that painful (3-4 on a scale of 10, with occasional sharper bouts that I try to ignore). I’ve introduced enough chemicals for my poor liver and kidneys to process in the last couple weeks, I don’t want to add more if I can help it.bill_g wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 7:25 amGabapentin is also a miracle for shingles zingers.MsDaisy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 1:34 pm

It's not for everyone. I respond well to it. Better than getting sick from the other Hillbilly heroin you can get from a doctor. It's good for arthritis zingers too.Maybenaut wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 8:25 am

I certainly hope so! The right side of my right hand is nearly as purple as my left wrist and it's still pretty painful to turn doorknobs.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 8:50 am Maybenaut, MsDaisy, and sugar. Three's a "charm", right?![]()
I woke up this morning with what appears to be mosquito bites all over my right arm and shoulder and the left side of my face and head. Big, fat welts that itch like crazy. I have absolutely no idea what it is but the itching is maddening. Rubbing alcohol helps so at least I'm not suicidal yet.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 8:50 am Maybenaut, MsDaisy, and sugar. Three's a "charm", right?![]()

I have no similar stories at this time, knock on wood, but I do have a tree pointing the wrong direction after last night’s storm.
