Howdy Doris, So sorry to hear you are having a hard time with your hip and leg. Maybe the new prescription will ease your pain. My leg and hip ache off and on. One Doctor said I had something called Piriformis Syndrome, a fancy name for a flare-up of the siatic nerve. I did Physical Therepy for awhile but discovered on my own a couple of stretch exercises that help and I try not to sit at the computer for too long at a time. I take a Naproxin ocassionally to help with the pain. I also try to get out and walk as often as I can. I know walking is not easy for you! Are you still using your walker? I hope the new pills your doc prescribed will ease your pain. Warm regards, Bobbie R.

Hi Barb. The new prescription has started to ease the pain somewhat, but of course I am having side effects that are not listed on the prescription list. I just sent an e-mail to the doctor asking if I could split the pills half and just take 1/2 at a time and see what happens. Go figure. Yes walking with my rolling walker my walking has improved. I think these ups and downs are a way of telling me to slow down. I tried to get out as much as I can to walk. Doris "Barbara R" <bah…@reachone.com> wrote in message

<Amie wrote, " Boo to you, too! How are you doing? "> Hi Amie, I’m doing pretty good, thanks for asking. Sorry to read that you have been having a bad time lately. You are such a trooper! Hope the summer brings you some relief. If nothing else, the warmth of the sun can perform small miracles. I also noticed that you won an award not too long ago from the Scleroderma Foundation. Congratulations! Your knowledge about the ups and downs of SD never ceases to amaze me! Half of the battle of any disease is being fully informed as you well know. Have a good one! Warm regards, Bobbie R.
Response:
Is it just me or have others missed any of their daily SD digests? I belong to about five different Yahoo support digests and did not get any today. Would also like to say boo to all that post on this newsgroup. I check it every day and am delighted to see a few dedicated posters are back. It has been very quiet for far too long. Warm regards to all. Bobbie R.

Boo to you Barbara-so glad to see your post. I belong to several digests also on Yahoo and I do received them. I belong to SDWorld and the one that Amelia Yaussy has. I never can think of the name for it. I had my docs appointment today for my problem with my hip and leg and got a new prescription and keeping my fingers crossed that I do not have an allergic reaction to it as I am not too lucky when taking inflammatory medicines.
