Hello Wisewoman! Is your husband shouldering any responsibility? This isen't all just for you to take care of. Your place of employment should designate someone to fill your shoes while you are out. Come right out and tell them hey.."I'm dancin as fast as I can". Tap..tap!! This just fuels my fire. You are headed for a nervous breakdown if things don't let up on ya.

Is it your P-Doc that doesn't want you on Narcotics? If so....mine is the same way!

Narcotics enable folks to have some quality of life. That's what they were created for. When used responsibly...it's all we have sometimes to keep going. I take Flexerill. Is that what you are taking? Flexeril works fine for some people. Soma works better for others. Ask the Doc on call if he can at least prescribe some Soma for you. It will help better with the pain, as well!

Hang in there. That's about all you can do. Thank goodness your daughter is getting treatment. Keep thinking about that.
