Hi Melanie, I realized that I have been very ill for three weeks. Funny that we just keep on keeping on when our bodies are screaming. Neurontin can make me dizzyish when I look up in the beginning as I am getting used to it. Another poster here also said that somewhere here. It has to help, it has a lot in the past.

As for working. I was sick then too but I kept on everyday with a distraction that I must work. I believe that we can do whatever we have to but I hope you don't have to with your pain.

I have something systemic going on. It is not just this and that but my whole body is cussing me out here. I have decided that I need to find a way to by pass some rules and have the big hospital treat me exclusively. At least that way they could coordinate my care. In the mean time I am in the place of take all the drugs available for pain and sleep.

My knees are so crunchy and full of ouch. I don't have a lot to offer you except be persistent. Get pain relief. You deserve it.

The reason the disability hit me so hard is cause it made it real. yes, I am quite disabled, But can't I too get adequate treatment and pain management?
