Dear Motors Mommy,
I hope you have contacted your doctor and have gotten some answers and some relief. I am not completely familiar with your symptoms, but in times of extreme pain/distress, I have found the ER to be most helpful. Taking more medication is not the answer, if you have already reached the limits of your prescribed dosages. Do let us know how you are doing. Caring for you - billie |

MM,
Thanks for letting us know you are okay. I am glad you don't have O.N. I hope the steroids and the pain medication combined, get you feeling better real fast.  With the steroids don't take much salt and eat potassium enriched foods, like bananas and yogurt, etc. I did steroids for 20+ years for relapses. They might take a while to work, or they may help right away. You never can tell. Nap when you can, if the kids nap. Don't expect to get all your sleep at night. Even if you get a little at a time, it all helps you to feel better. Keep us updated, okay?

MM -- I pray you're sleeping now or at least resting and that you'll get some relief from the pain everyday. I can truly empathize with you in living with chronic pain 24/7. It really wears you down. All the best and please keep us posted.
