Well, I have to take Vicoden now, or I cant sleep from the chronic pain, I wake up at 2-3 am sometime dependent on how hard I work that day.I only take it at night though.
I use the tramadol in the day.

Doc..has me on routine blood work to keep everything in check " I Guess "

I have to say though, My anxiety and chronic pain are at a pretty good level of tolerance now.

hope everyone else is finding relief,it really can change ones life/lifestyle,living in sometimes seemingly constant pain,anxiety, stress, etc etc...I think spring will bring me some relief,I love being outside :-)
