I hope Jesus does heal us
I have found only one thing that makes it not stop hurting, but the pain lessen. I walked all over the ****** place saturday and sunday, and lemme tell you, it hurt like **** sunday night. Took my meds, went to sleep, got up and had a fairly hard day at work,(monday) bending at the knees, lifting and moving heavy objects, had shooting needles and stuff, but...it hasn't been as bad, almost like the more I use it, within reason, the better it is. I've had it settle down enough to not need any painkillers twice in the past six years, and in both cases, I worked it until it was better.(worked it every other day) I was on painkillers while I was working it, mind you, so it wasn't horrid, but over a period of months, it slowly seemed to get better and better, and I took less and less of the pills. This time when it hit, it hit very much harder. I don't expect any remission like I had before, but I do expect that it will get better if I have sufficient painkillers to move my body in a normal manner. I don't expect most folks can really manage this type of 'treatment', as their pain levels are, from what I'm reading, above mine. It's either that or I'm on enough stuff that actually works to make it possible. Dunno. Oh, I also was on prednisone, percocet and soma when this first started, as we were treating a supposed sprain/strain. I found it to be a very good combo, however, I had some odd effects from the prednisone. Usually it only occurs in elderly patients, but I had sorta a psychotic episode, talking to a friend of mine at work, I had the intense almost uncontrollable desire to behead him. It really messed with my mind. I almost instantly realized it was from the prednisone, and over the next few days I tested it by taking a quarter pill, seeing the effect, etc. It was. I am a Christian, and beheading an innocent with a knife is NOT something Jesus would approve of, I am sure. Anyway, I should also say the reason I believe my pain levels aren't hateful and it hasn't spread is quite frankly, I'm poor, and have been. I couldn't take off work to let the leg sprain heal, had to pay bills, so I worked on percs and soma for the first 5 months of it, and pretty much have worked labor jobs ever since. I credit that to my mild symptoms, and intend to continue making sure I use it whether I want to or not. I'm soon to lose my best job ever and take advantage of retraining money to attend school for puters, I guess, but I know I either have to join a gym(yuck) or get a second job doing something manual labor-y. Maybe a stocker at walmart, that would be enough lifting and stuff, without being over the line. Anyways, I hope this helped you some, and keep your head up, it could be worse, what with cancer and leukemia, aids and hepatitis, we're not that bad off. At least there is some hope that a modern medical miracle will help us, when you're told you have 6-8 months to live, that's not a lot of time for a cure, ya know? Well, gotta go, God Bless, hope yer pain diminishes, and I certainly hope you find some usefulness in this post. Later, Smoke
