Yes Goody, got those hot/cold packs ready......small pillow for small of back...meds, supplements, yada yada.

And yes, I am taking Lodine, and Ibprofen, along with host of other meds.

I remember having low back pain when I was a cheerleader in High School....a LONG time ago, and cannot really remember being without it, but it has become unbearable now.

FIBRO, on top of anything spells H-E-L-L-0- doubleGood pain.

I plan to try to get the bulkhead..........easy on, easy off.

Going to SPINE DOC tomorrow...........say a prayer for me.

THANKS and BLESSINGS,......

Yes, Goody, this ole gal drinks lots of water anyway, but I learned the water tip a long time ago about getting rid of the toxins, but thanks for the reminder.

I am shocked at how much better I am feeling. Better for me is not being in cry baby excruiating pain at this point. I am able to SIT longer periods of time and the pain is wayyyyyyyyy down. I think the hyalouronic acid is helping too. It's synovial fluid in a pill supplement.

I'm sorry to hear about your fever, chills...yuck. You can't get sick now. Get some garlic tablets and started downing them. They are the best for knocking that out for me.

Where do you live ? (if you feel comfortable saying....general area) Aren't you in the Northeast ?

We tooooooooooo take wayyyyyyyyy tooooooooooo much stuff when traveling. We'll be going to a wonderful Lake for the weekend in the MOHO and even so, I still take toooooooooooo much......I'm a WHAT IF person...a good GIRL SCOUT....."BE PREPARED", kind of girl.

We are about to have some million dollar weather this next week after having storms/tornados all week here again. I'm soooooooooooooo tired of that... :eek:

We just felt it was best not to take our trip at this time. We try to YEILD to what the Lords leads us to do. It's usually in our best interest. We have so much travel planned this year.......it's not a big thing.

Okay....I have my TIMER on........for SITTING at this puter....so I'm off, got emails to answer.

Have a great weekend and I wanted to mention that I think the LODINE is really helping me too.

I was sore the day after Massage, but can't believe how well I have felt since then. AND can't wait to go back.

Hope you and everyone are pain free for the weekend to spend with your loved ones.

Blessings....... :wave: for now...........
