Hey Tam

Great news!!!!!

All very interesting... do keep us posted.

It is good to be able to do again. And I, like you, want that for everyone everywhere.

I assume your pharmacological regimen is different now. Whatever works, run with it.

I do understand the need to break the pain cycle... and I truly understand that's very hard to get for some of us. Don't ever give up. Keep trying.

When I started doing better I found that I had been "out of commission" for a while and have had a few mishaps by not being as physically able to do as my will is strong and I forget to think before I leap. Be careful on your way to better living. Don't need the mishaps. Think before you do things. ER visit was expensive. (I accidently jabbed the corner of a hoe in my foot. Bleeding stopped - cut a little vein - and I forgot to go get a tetanus. Well, 13 hours later, foot swelling and red and I copped a fever and was chilling. So I opted not to wait till morning to prevent a worse case scanerio. Yeah, ER doc agreed I should not have waited. Said that thing could start moving any time. So, $400 later, be careful.)

That's not the only injury on my way to betterness. Pulled a groin muscle in my right groin area as I was not used to RUNNING on aqua treadmill. Also caused repetitive stress injury to the top of my left foot from not having proper foot placement on treadmill. Had to slow that gaiter down and think about it.

Also, I was moving too fast and dumped myself out a defense attorney's door onto the city streets. made 'em a little nervous. ah, got up, went home, patched up and repainted those scuffed up fingernails and was back out at 05:00 that evening to report a public meeting.

I got to spend a brief time with a nautropathic healer who pointed out to me that I had adrenal insufficiency. Fits a lot of my symptoms to a T. Can be caused from injuries. not diagnosed a lot of times. I haven't taken her recommendations yet and ordered the supplements she's recommended. Been very busy.

Are you saying you're having brain fog since the med change? ...assuming it's changed. You may need to discuss that with your new doc. He may be aware of that and will treat the side effects. You do need the pain relief before you can help yourself. I understand. You have to do what you have to do. Just needs some tweaking.

So happy for you, Tam. Get rest when you can. Hydration and nutrition is important too.
