How do you spell relief

V I C O D I N

Extra strenth vicodin and something called Neurontin. I took one of each as soon as I got home from Meijers and within a couple of minutes I took off my shoes with hardly any groaning.

I went to the real doctor. His is the name that was on the clinic when I first started going there and the name they have to use when billing my insurance. But he is hard to see since he is trying to retire. I had to wait a week for an appointment with him but he's the only one there that can prescribe narcotic drugs and I was afraid of running out.

When I told him how many Tylenol4s I was taking each day he said "Those are clearly not working." Duh. How come the other doctors (2) I went to didn't know that. He changed the prescriptions and added the Neurontin. I told him I will start the physical therepy on Thursday and he said after we see how much that helps he wants to refer me to a (kind of doctor I forget the name, but it made me think of sports medecine). So I have a little more ease of mind that releif could be on the way.

While I was at Meijers I picked up some light staples like chips and crackers. They are having a fantastic sale on pap. 3 24 packs of 12 oz cans for $4.00 after rebate but I couldn't even think of picking one up. All the stores around here are having really good pop sales. Maybe Gretchen will pick me some up later this week.
I will put that on the running "wish list" I started keeping on the kitchen table.

Neurontin is very good, I use it for Neuropathie which is a nerve pain. They are involved in a law suit for causing suicides.

Damn, that means as soon as Mom finds something that works they will take it off the market. I think that is a little known clause in Murphy's law.
