Stinkweed - 04 Jun 2006 15:00 GMT

Hi I should have introduced myself before posting, I am known as Stinkweed,
or Stinky, or Stinky poo, Stinksnot or just about anything you can put with
Stinky in another group I get called it, as I am a big tease. I got the
nick name from my brother when I recently asked him why he started calling
me that he said because I love you. Anyway I use the name on the net,
Actually there are some people who call me by my real name, "Sharon".
I'm a wife, mother and granny and I guess with a real name of Sharon, you
know I am a female.
I have a good deal wrong with me, I have Arthritis, had cancer, have FM,
have trigeminal nerve pain, have migraines and I have to take the warfrin
because I got blood clots and they found out that I have a defective gene
that causes them I also have a few insignificant other things. If there is
anyone in here with Trigeminal nerve pain I sure want to talk to you. I
only know one other person with it. My grandmother had it and so did my
uncle. It isn't suppose to be hereditary, but I question that.
I live in Wisconsin and on a lake and I absolutely love it here, it has been
a dream I have always had and it was able to be fulfilled, it is so tranquil
looking out at the lake. We have a boat and the kids come when they can to
fish. I feel so priveledged to be here. I have a lot faith in God although
I have been delt a lot of things in my life time, I'm sure God has a reason
for all of it. I can get depressed pretty easy and I don't like going
there, that is really bad for me. I hope I have covered about everything,
if you all have any questions I will try to ans. them. Right now I am going
through some pretty bad migraines, I have been having them daily and am
under doctors care for them.

Hi Sharon,

I don't have trigeminal neuralgia but my brother has it and so did my
mother. I know the agony my mother was in for many years. Brother's pain
is somewhat controlled, but any breeze will set it off.

The docs have told my brother that it's not hereditary, also. Not sure I
believe it!!

My best to you!!

Jean

Thanks Jean, I just found where my introduction went. I wrote another one
thinking it didn't show up and now I have two introductions. My trigeminal
neuralgia is controlled to, I don't know what sets mine off, it isn't breeze
though. Mine seems to be centered in the mouth and nose area. Some times I
have to use the stuff dentists use to numb my mouth to brush my teeth. I
have a horrible memory so--- Lidicane I think the name is. It totally numbs
my mouth on the left side and works quite well. But most of the time the
medication I take daily keeps it under control. I'm getting ready for a bad
time again though as the skin at the left side of the nose is getting pretty
tender again. I know only one other living person who has this. I would
love to talk to your brother. I wish there was a group for this, but I sure
can't find one.

Welcome to the group, Stinky. Sorry, though that you've got arthritis on top
of everything else. Gettin' old ain't for the weak!! I am DeeTee and I have
OA, DDD, DJD, Costochrondritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, FMS, and some kind of
inflammatory arthritis that my RD has yet to put a name to. I manage okay,
sort of, but the people here keep me going. Welcome to our particular
sandbox.

Thanks DeeTee, Boy it sure isn't for the weak is it getting old. I often
think about those wonderful golden years I always heard about. I'm not
familiar with the abbreviations of diseases. I don't know what DDD or DJD
are? I have not heard of some of the rest I will have to look them up. But
{{{Hugs}}} they don't sound good.
Just being silly keeps me going most of the time.

Hi Stinkweed,

What lake are you on? I used to live on Pewaukee with a Delafield mailing
address.
Absolutely loved the lifestyle and miss it to this day. It's been about 20
yrs since I lived there.

Stinkweed, during the Korean "Conflict", my husband was stationed at then
"Camp" McCoy. He was a cook so he was on 24 and off 24, from noon to noon.
We were there during the winter and his tires would freeze to the ground and
he would have to pour boiling water on them to get unstuck. He threatened
not to come home again untill spring! We had a two year old and a new baby
born in Georiga in September and he took us back on Christmas day. We left
Georgia wearing short sleeves and when we got to Sparta, Wisconsin it was 20
below. Diapers would freeze on the line outside and then I'd bring them in
to dry. We lived in the house with an older couple who were so sweet. But
she sure spoiled my son; she would not let him cry. If he started, she
would come get him and rock him and sing to him, and taught our 2 year old
daughter lots of nursery rhymes. I have very good memories of living in
Wisconsin. We enjoyed going to the Dells.

Gwen, would you believe I have not spent a Winter here yet? We are snow
birds and always go somewhere warm for the winter. But I think this coming
winter we may just stay home and experience a Wisconsin winter. It has to
be absolutely gorgeous on the lake. We moved here 4 years ago from the
Chicago area. I love it here, the people are so friendly it is
unbelievable. One strange thing also is many leave their keys in the car
with the car running. Or to go shopping. I just can't get used to this kind
of living. In Chicago there would be no car to go back to. But old habits
die hard, we still lock up.

Gary I would really rather not say, but it is around 40 miles West of
Oshkosh. In the area of Wautoma, Does that help I have only lived here
for 4 years, but absolutely love it. It is like being on vacation all the
time. How could you leave this type of living? I hope to stay here till I
die or have to go into a nursing home. Do you live in Wisconsin now?

Hi Stinkweed,
Didn't mean to ask for too specific information. I know the general area and
it is very, very nice.
The choice in leaving wasn't all mine, but a combination of events. :-(
I don't live in Wis. now. I've taken employment in N. Illinois for some 20
yrs now. Quite a change of scenery from where I was!

You never know who is reading Gary, I'm glad you understand. It is lovely
here, I am out in the country but there are lots of people living around the
lake with us so that is just as perfect as you can get.
I used to live in Des Plaines Illinois, we lived there for around 40 years,
I loved it there too as we were in a very nice area, country setting but 10
min. from stores. That is about the only thing I miss though, here you have
to travel lots of miles to go where you want.
