Today is day 3 of the utmost horrible flare up I have ever had! I don't know what to do! I already take pretty heavy medicine but when I have these flare ups it takes ridiculous amounts to help! My husband hates the use of any medication. he's a recovering alcoholic he's had five years sober. so when I use extra medication it upsets him even more. Just recently had gotten off of all narcotics and then I hurt my back. An mri was done and showed I had five herniated discs an 1 wedging. So needless to say I'm back on the narcotic roller coaster and I hate it. Sorry if I'm rambling, I just needed to vent!
