I can't even begin to imagine how you must feel. I looked up malt lymphoma, I'd never heard of it, and the article I read talked mostly about the stomach and H pylori. I know how painful H pylori can be, I just hope that you are not going through that much pain. Good luck to you too Tonia, and yes, we are strong women! Thanks for stopping by, come back again and let me know how you're doing, ok? blessings Michelle Hi Tonia,

Oh no, fibro can be just as devastating pain- wise I am told. Don’t discount yourself. Does that sentence make sense? I am grammerless at this hour and apparently making up words too:) Wow, poured them all down the sink! Did it scare you, the feeling of craving the pill? Ugh. It would be so wonderful if there were therapies for chronic pain that didn’t include narcotics, and that worked! How long had you smoked for? Don’t answer this, Im gonna email you! lol Good for you for making it through alive, lol! The infamous ‘they’ say that it’s harder to quit smoking than it is to quit using heroin..wow! Thanks for stopping by and commenting kiddo. I’m gonna email you, I’ve been in bed for the last few days, my hair can atest to that, uck. hugs Michelle Hey sweet friend A!

And then in January I was diagnosed with malt lymphoma. Yeah- ironic huh. All year has been filled with back to back chemo and it has been hell. But it's amazing the care and understanding you get when you say I'm in chemo versus saying you're in pain due to an autoimmune disease. It's worlds difference! And the funniest part of the whole thing? I'll never be cured of this lymphoma, it's lifetime thing just like the lupus!!! Keep your chin up and kudos to you for weaning yourself off meds that aren't working. As one of my docs said, "Lupus isn't for the weak." Good luck and hope that your days can be less painful.

i recently injured my knee and was taking an ibuprofen/codeine tablet at higher than normal doses for a couple of weeks and woke one morning with cravings for it….. i went straight to the kitchen cupboard and popped the rest of the packet down the sink, well over 60 tablets.

it was really hard for the next 3 weeks after that, stomach bloated and inflamed all the time and a higher level of pain awareness than usual but i got there in the end.

oh and the real killer one for me in the last few months – quitting smoking. the withdrawal was horrendous this time, never felt worse ever before in my life.

so, i’m with you in spirit you know that you can do it, you are strong…. maybe you can digi scrap it out of your system using some of your recently acquired stash of kits ;)

with lots of love and blessings
A
