Hi Dmom,

Thanks so much for your response and advice. I really appreciate you all here. YOu have been so much help.

I took a bath last night in epsom salt, my dad went out and bought me some cause I can hardly even get out of bed right now I feel so sick. But of course it didn't work right awway but there was a definite change in how there was pain. It wasn't as intense...i just noticed I had a harder time standing up after the bath, meaning getting up to take a shower, usually I can get right up but this time I couldn't as fast. maybe just getting old....haha

Anyways, i have been thinking about the support hose. I am a pretty big person, do you think they even have them that big? I do see my physical therapist tomorrow for our workout in the pool. I think it is actually our last one and am going to talk to her to about all this.

I had carpel tunnel surgery last year and I feel like I am getting that back. I know am not getting it back cause of the difference in how it can come and go with the pain and things from my back. I noticed that last night my hands and wrists were really swollen again and my stomach was really swollen again, and I only had a piece of bread yesterday. I know not good for me, but I am not feeling well and I don't want to be sitting at the thrown so to speak for hours because I ate.

I went to sleep around 10:30 last night and woke at 1:15 this morning feeling so sick. I felt like I was burning up and I do have a small fever, but nothing big. It's nice to actually feel the need to cover up instead of no covers at all. But am sick of feeling sick at work all the time.

One thing I do do that's right is no salt, at least I don't add any and I try my hardest not to eat things with salt. I really don't like the taste of it and that is something that makes my fingers blow up, but just my fingers. so I know this is something different.

I probably will call Monday to see if can get in to see my regular doc. sometime this week. He said to call if things weren't imporving so i can call at least and see what he or his nurse suggests.

One last thing and then i think or know I was writting too much, I am on tylenol with codeine for pain for my back and also generic soma. I don't take as much as what I can each day, but wondering and heard that you can get tylenol poisoning, or is that only if you overdose on it? This is my 4th bottle of 20 pills in 2 months I believe so I think that i am ok when it comes to not taking too much, but I don't know.

I am also wondering if the pills I take from over the counter at night are causing all the pain, but then had that before i started the pills, I don't know, am just reaching here.

Thanks again for listening, hugs,
Jen
