I've grown Flamingo Parade (got it from Floyd Cove) and found it a bit too dormant for my garden (coastal FL). My FP was a mouth-watering creamy orange color. If you go to the link below and click on Daylilies beginning in "F" you will see two pictures that accurately reflect FP's color as it was in my garden. I think Maryott (and I do love that place) has posted the wrong photo. Both photos in the Daylily Gallery are from FL--maybe that's the issue. However, Tinker photos are closer to Maryott's. Hummm ...what's going on here? Here is a link that might be useful: Daylily Gallery

Look for someone who does "myofascial release" (although other techniques may worse) and has some years of experience under their belt. You can ask them on the phone straight out what their success had been with this kind of pain. The brachialis (and neighboring muscles) may be a source of your pain: http://www.massagetoday.com/mpacms/mt/article.php?id=14093 You might also check out: http://www.triggerpointbook.com (not a cure all but a helpful and very clearly written resource)! I know it sounds weird, but make sure your shoulders are not rounded too far forward--in other words, do some exercises to help bring your shoulders back (if they need to be) such as the wall angel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMb2jOE3t_Y (This will look easy, but---gently!---try to bring the full scapula, elbows, wrists, head, and bottom against the wall.) Also: do make sure you drink lots of water and consider an "anti-inflammatory" diet if you're not already on one (reduce sugar and white flour). Most of all, please keep looking for possible answers. I have a client who had migraines for 20 years. He tried everything under the sun, from western doctors to eastern to massage to homeopathy to gluten-free to etc; finally, just for "fun," he cut out refined sugar and flour and hasn't had a migraine since. As a massage therapist I hear stories like this all the time. Please don't give up!

Unfortunately it is not possible to swap hands, as there are very specific rules as to how we deal the cards (as it is in all casinos). The cards must be pulled out of the shoe with your left hand, and the first two spots must have the cards delivered with the left hand. Spots 3-7 must be delivered with the right hand, and if you try to do this differently you will be written up by surveillance or the supervisor watching the game. This is for game protection, so your hands don't cross your body, giving you a chance to steal the chips in the rack. Everything is very, very set, down to the smallest detail with no room to deviate. It would be nice to be able to do this differently, but even if I were to switch hands I think my back would go out from all the twisting and turning! Thanks again for all the help, I will hopefully be better soon!

This is an issue that I struggle with on a daily basis. I have a disease that causes me great amounts of pain. In addition, I suffer with fibromyalgia and I need a knee replacement-my knee is bone on bone and has been that way for a few years. I also fractured my spine 5 years ago so I have bad, chronic pain from that. I cannot walk unassisted-I need a cane now, and will be transitioning to a walker in a year or so. I cannot climb stairs without assistance and I cannot bend my left knee. My disease exaserbates my knee problem because my ankles don't bend so my gait is off-throwing off my hips and back too. About 8 years ago I was prescribed 60 325/5mg Norco-the lowest dose available, and it was to take one to two a day as needed for severe pain. For 5 years I seldom refilled except ever few months. Then I developed the fibro and my knee got worse. Coupled with my physically demanding job, I was having to take the two pills a day. Then the pain just kept getting worse-which is very typical with the disease I have. So since I only had a prescription for 2 pills a day, I'd only take them when I could not longer bear the pain-I'd be at about a level 5 all day and I'd take the pills when it got to a 7. As a long term chronic pain sufferer you learn to live with pain! My doctor told me that I was in a very, very small group of his pain management patients who really did need the pain pills. I never called in for early refills, my urine tests always came back clean, etc. But then he retired and I got a new doctor. My new doctor doesn't believe me that I now need a higher dose of the Norco. A nurse told me that the dose I've been prescribed (for 8 years) is virtually the equivalent of a Tylenol 3-used to help someone get over a sprained back and not for a long term-chronic pain sufferer. My doc prescribed Tramadol-which helped somewhat with my fibro pain but didn't do anything at all for the other pain-the pain that would make me white out at times, feel like I was going to vomit from pain, and keep me up all night, in tears. I kept refilling it because it did help me get through the day at work when just wearing clothing hurt and my HAIR hurt-but I'd save the Norco till bed time so I could take two just so I might be able to sleep without crying. FInally I went in to see him, literally in tears because I hurt so bad, to ask to get my prescription increased. He's had me take xrays which show severe arthritis and bone spurs in my left knee. Arthritis in my ankles, my right knee, my back and my neck. (I was told 15 years ago I had the neck of an 80 year old, it's so damaged from car accidents). So he has proof that I'm in agony but he told me that since I already take Tramadol, he won't increase the Norco, because it will just stop working and I'll need higher and higher doses. He blames the extra weight I've put on because I CANNOT WALK ANY MORE to the Norco stopping my metabolism. His solution to my crying in agony was for me to call the bariatric unit to get into the gastric bypass program so I will lose weight so they'll fix my knee. In a very best case scenario that would be at least 18 months out, and it won't help the lymphedema or the arthritis in the rest of my body. My friend has fentanyl patches, takes Lyrica, and gets regular injections for her various pains. I do not want to move on to Oxycodone or fentanyl! I just want my Norco increased to 1-2 every 4 hours as needed-which is the TYPICAL low dose. I won't even take them if I don't need them! I can't take ibuprofen-it causes stomach bleeding in me. I try cannabis, I try massage, accupuncture, stretching, water exercises, heat/cold you name it. I have said to my doctor that I've considered having my legs amputated if it would mean that pain would stop-of course I wouldn't do that but when you have such bad pain that you'd sacrifice your legs to make it stop-THAT is real pain. I really do live in fear of what will happen if the pain meds are further restricted.
