povlok1 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Opportunity of a lifetime. I am selling off just about any of my collection. For those that don't know, I have been ill over the last month and diagnoised with a rare 'cronic pain' medical condition. At the same time, I had just recently invested big time into some coin op games. To put a long story short, the docs are having a hard time getting my meds right and I have had to go back to the hospital several times over the last month. I thought things were going better but this last weekend has been real bad and I've been to the hospital 3 out of the last 4 days. Basically the only pain med that works is so strong it requires me to be in the hospital to administer it. Latly every time I try to sleep the migrains kick in and wakes me up just as I fall asleep so money has been tight for I havnt been able to work and the med bills are piling up. For those who bought orders last week I am running late getting them out, I will get them all out by the end of this week, if anyone can't wait please just ask for a refund and I will get it right out to ya. Most the time I've been home latly Ive been sittin on the couch in my pajama's recovering;) I plan on having the wife help me this week to catch up. Now for the good news for those looking to buy some rarities. I am selling anything out of my collection except my Bomb carts,, and those may go too if someone offers me a huge price;) as for all the rest, I'm looking for fair market value, I don't need to sell everything, so please dont ask me to give em away,, market value offer and they are yours! If you want to buy a large order I would be willing to cut prices on the lot, if that is what you are interested in it would be best just to call me to work out a deal, my # is 219-324-3855, I won't be home till this afternoon for I am once again going back to the ER after I write this post.. I havn't slept for over 24hours due to pain when I lay down.. anyway,, here are just some of the games RIVER PATROL STRONGHOLD CAKEWALK BOING SPIDER MAZE RAM IT BOTH COLOR AND B&W DEMOLITION HERBY BOTH COLOR AND B&W STARGUNNER, BOTH COLOR AND B&W FROGGER TAPE, ARCADIA PARTY MIX, ARCADIA (NOT THE ONE I SOLD YOU MATTG) RABBIT TRANSIT, ARCADIA SWORD OF SAOUS, ARCADIA SURVIVAL ISLAND, ARCADIA ROOM OF DOOM MINES OF MINOS (WRITING ON LABEL) QUEST (SUNRISE) SPRINGER MINER 2049'R "2" ROBIN HOOD SIR LANCERLOT Tomarc the Barbarian Spike's Peak MOTOCROSS RACER ESPIAL POLARIS (BOTH GREEN AND BLUE LABEL) COSMIC CORRIDOR SURVIVAL RUN (WITH END LABEL) SPITFIRE ATTACK (WITH END LABEL) RADAR LOCK FATAL RUN OFF THE WALL HOLEY MOLEY (SIGNED IN BOX) 6 HOZER CARTS CANNON MAN (SEARS) RAIDERS LOST ARK GRAVITAR SILVER LABEL ATARI VIDEO CUBE RUBICKS CUBE GREMLINS CHUCK WAGON MASTER BUILDER BUMBER BASH GUARDIAN SUBTERRIAN TOOTH PROTECTORS MR.

povlok1 Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Let us know how you're doing,ok?Thats the most important:getting better I got to wait an hour before I can get in thats a lifetime when you in pain and havnt slept all night;).. I will still be aournd on the boards,, this is just a setback.. Im just glad I was finally properly diagnoised,, i've been having these flare-ups for about five years but never this bad,, took em gitting this bad before a Neuroligist looked at me and diagnoised me.. all the other times I thought it was sever sinus Im a pretty tough dude when it comes to pain threshold,, but this would knock a horse on its ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Galaga Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hang in there man. When I saw the post title I thought, "Oh my god, he's gone mad !" But now I understand. It sucks that you have to go to the hospital so much. Hopefully they can "fix" you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
povlok1 Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 Ill be around for awhile, the doc called in a script instead of having me come in,, another new pain killer most of em don't work or they make me sick..

Ive been getting alot of pm's from people wishing me well with my health,, I really didnt exspect that and I want to say thanks:) I'm feeling pretty horrible today and that truly brightened my day;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having the Doc's totally baffled on a rare disease I caught while on Vacation in Florida. Thank God for the CDC, cause the California Docs were clueless. Once you lose the ability to walk within 2 hours, they REALLY start to take things seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTemplar Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I hope you get well - it really sucks to have to pay to get medical care , us canadians have no idea what it`s like since our system is 100% free (but we have long waiting lists, last time I went to the hospital with my girlfriend we had to wait for one day before seeing a doctor!) I might pm you about so of your games if I can afford them. :wink: Ps: I think I sold you a boxed sega master on ebay, don`t know if you have received it yet, feel free to let me know if there is any problem with it as all my stuff has a money back guarantee.

bjk7382 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 My dad had this exact same thing. He went thru many years of pain and taking up to 13 pills a day (tegratol, an anticonvulsive medications given to people with seisures). He eventually got surjury and he has been fine for 4 or 5 years now. And yes the medications are very hard to get used to, and when my dad had to stop taking them they had to ween him off of them for 3 weeks.
