That is good advice. I need to think about the whole Lyrica thing as I am very much hurting in the past 2-3 weeks. I have been feeling nervous about aging lately so your post spoke to that. I feel like I am too young for what is happening and the spinal stenosis scares me. I am doing what I want to but not for long as the back starts in. I have an MRI weds and don't get the results till I go back in three weeks. I guess that is okay since it is not going to change a whole lot except my own and the doc's understanding of where the nerves are most compressed. She seems to be pro-surgery but I would have to be convinced the benefits outweigh the risks. Thinking of back surgery scares the heck out of me. It seems to be a whole lot on my plate right now. As for your asthma Perna, I would like to hear more about what meds you liked and why and which ones you don't like and why.
