The lower lumbar and sciatica are way out of control. I keep falling when I get out of the recliner or off the hospital bed. I am all jammed up from it and everything is inflamed. I can pretty well see that I am dealing with inflamation as nothing helps except to sit in a hot bath at which time the pain comes down immediately. Sadly, I can only soak three times a week when my aid comes. I don't dare get in and out of the tub without help. The kids live out of town.

I have my scs trial on Aug 7th. I have been hesitant to try it again but am desperate now. So tired as I can't find a decent position to sit or lay down in. I think I can deal with the Fibro and other autoimmune garbage if they can just lower the neuropathy a bit. 30 years is just too long to deal with this and everything is going downhill..........quickly. So tired, foggy and mean as a bear.
