Oh, BB,
Thanks for the note about tylenol and nsaid.
I think this is the last thread on PB left to come to my box. I'm a wreck. Yesterday I was asking my husband if I need to be in hospital. He stills says no, but one day at a time.
I suspect a major OA flare. Simple? Nothing seems simple or straightforward with an MD. Self-diagnosis is so suspect. So I am waiting to coordinate a trustworthy care team: depression, anxiety, disabling pain (I'll need to stop everything, lie down, and just breath. Yesterday I saw two flies mate on the carpet in an eyeblink. Kinda weird being me.)
Assembled so far:
Gp who is a person and willing to be real--. She might just go for LDN. If not, I'll f'n do it myself.
A pdoc who cares but is very flipped out by this all. Wait till he hears I want out of the whole pharma thing. I don't have
one more trial in me. Lyrica just about unhinged me.A DO with behavioral affect of Max Von
Sidow in a very independent Swedish flick. He actually palpated every darn inch of my spine, then gave one teensy
adjustment. My massage therapist remarked later that week that such and
such lump at base of skull was 'gone'. For reals? I asked? Because that is where that new Dr Von Sidow poked my neck... (My new gp reccommended him. Bonus points. AND he is in network. Gasp.I see a biofeedback/stress therapist in two weeks. Also in network. I try not to take any pleasant news as a sign of improvement.
Thanks for writing.
