Happy New Year

A quiet holiday for me: it seems that this Monster now determines my family and social activities more than I would have imagined.

The Lyrica isn't doing a very good job. Neurologist's appt is on the 6th so only a few more days.

I've started to notice the affects of hot/cold foods and drinks on this pain. Cold things definitely flare things up, and I believe hot does as well, but maybe not so severely.

I see the neurosurgeon on Jan 14th for a review of Radiology's findings of the examination of my MRI.....and am hoping that there can be some sort of "fix" to this thing. The concept of being medicated for the rest of my life is not something I want to consider.
Just want it over. My world is shrinking....no one really wants to be around someone with this thing, do they?
