The gauges for my ranchero still haven't come in. I'm getting somewhat impatient.

Had my first series of pain (or rather anti-pain) shots today. Keep your fingers crossed for me for a good result!

Steroids or Lidocaine (type)? I've had both and gotten good results with both.

Low-dose steroids, lidocaine, and something called Traumeel, I think. Things feel different today, and somewhat better...I'm afraid to jinx it by saying too much!

Nothing so entertaining  , but while things are still in flux today, I feel 85% of (what I remember as) normal, which is nothing short of miraculous for me. I will do 4 weeks of treatment, one treatment a week, but I am feeling optimistic for the first time in a such a long, long time. Chronic pain is a nightmare you think you're never going to wake up from, and after over 5 years, I was there...which is to say, in the pit of despair. To have hope is such a gift. |

It's going to be another beautiful day in the heartland. Sure hope Mother Nature remembers how she did this so that she can give us more of it all the way until next spring. |

I have opened up the downstairs windows and turned off the ACs for the first time in several weeks.

Glad to hear you are feeling up. My best Grams used to say, "you get used to hanging, if you hang long enough." I always feel like that about my long term health issues and when suddenly you begin to feel better it is such an awakening.
I recently went off a drug that has made me sick for 15 years. I feel like a completely different person.
Hope you continue to feel relief! |

Thanks, Lil--that's it. When I was telling the pain people my story, and how long this has been going on, they could barely believe it. But when you're in the middle of it, you think that eventually you're going to turn the corner, so you keep at it, and suddenly, years have passed. You don't realize it until you tell someone else that it's been so insanely long. But having just a few days of some relief has brought me back to myself. I realized, "Hey! I AM fun, relaxed, and positive...I remember now." I thought that had been lost forever; it was just buried under pain, exhaustion, and the depression brought on by both.
Glad to hear you're feeling better, too! Wow! 15 years is way too long.
