I find (for myself anyways) that it's better to medicate before an exciting time. I'm no big football fan, darn, after 27 years of this, I'm no big fan of anything.....
But, there are some things I Truly love!
So,
I've got to get 'prepared' for them!

So, I take my meds up front, rather than after the pain has started! (And, this is under Dr's orders). So, I don't feel as though I'm cheating, or misbehaving....

I may surely come out of a concert, or a game, Tired. But, not in crippling pain.

It works fairly well!

So, talk to your doctor! Maybe, the best thing to do is 'Be Prepared'!
And, take those meds, since you know your're going to need them.....

That's what I do, this old man of the mountain, with pain to spare!

Love to All,
And,
Hope you all Feel Well!

Pete
