thank you everyone.

multi, im really sorry to hear you suffer so much pain. We have alot in common, I have fibro and I also have severe back issues that limit my mobility and cause hell. I'm now taking nortryptyline, and you know, i think its helping... i tried so many before hand, but this one seems to be doing the trick as I have only had to take the meds one day out of seven(today). More on that further on..

SAS, thank you for all the wonderful pretty pictures! they are inspiring for sure.

Everyone, I had to take the tylenol 3 today. I had to walk downtown to get my check from the post office and get diapers, so I ended up taking two pills, which is my max for the day. I didnt, however, take an exceeding amount, nor did i feel the need to. I think this nortyptyline is helping!! This is only one day out of seven that I have had to take it, and thats a big improvement. I am not considering it a slip because ive aknowledged I will have to take it from time to time, but I am being watchful. Im totally ready to flush everything I have if it gets to the point where I am wanting to exceed. But i don't think I will, because I know i will be screwed if i either take it all or get rid of it for two weeks.

So, still doing good although had to take it today. It was nice to not have that doped up feeling to be honest, and the little bit I did feel off of it wasn't pleasurable really, just kind of mucky. So my outlook on it is changing as well.
