Update On Me
Hello friends. I just wanted to drop in and let you know what is going on with me lately. I am having a spell as I call it.
It is my legs. I am used to them aching all the time but this is deep down into the bone pain. It's nerve damage and the weather changes. Awhile back, I stopped taking my Neurontin because it was making me sick with my new meds. Well, since nothing was working, I decided to try it.
It helped! Not a huge amount but, enough to keep me from wanting to screem, LOL. I can sit longer now and for a few moments, I actually feel normal...my normal anyway. So, I am going back on the Neurontin. I stopped it, the doctor didn't. She said if it was making me sick and if I could go without it that it was okay. It doesn't make me deathly sick, just enough to make me feel blah for awhile. But I can handle that. The leg pain I can't.
I can take my back pain and my neck and shoulder pain. That is enough to make me want to cry but, the leg pain is horrible. I just can't take that. So I am taking some time off to see if the Neurontin works. If I feel better tomorrow, I will do an entry in my other journals.
I am working on a Christmas journal. I had hoped to make it live the day after Thanksgiving. I have decided to wait till December 1st. I am done with that except for some finishing touches. That way, if my body goes real bad, I will just make it public and give you the link. Then you can help me spread the word.
Thank you all. Be well.

I say, take the Neurontin if your stomach can handle it.
I am getting to the poiint where my meds aren't working. Dave is having cervical disk trouble again, and also that rotary cuff tear acts up. We are a pair. 63 and look at us.
We are going to Tim and Patti's for Thanksgiving. Ought to be interesting as I am out of pain pills. and I will really try to fake it, but I dunno. I see my Doctor the 27.
Take care dear, good, Tammy. Merry
