RE: Update on Today's Doctor's Appt.

[Guest guest]

Hi :

I was so happy to read your post this morning. I am glad you got the

pain meds. you needed to control your pain. Also, great you are on

Pred. again and that it works so well for you. Pred. does wonders for

me too. I keep trying often to get off it, but have never been

successful. I will always try, though.

I am happy your DR. listened to you, and gave you the meds. to make you

feel better. Boy, we all sure do need a good nights sleep. Sometimes it

is a real luxury to sleep through the entire night!

Wishing you more pain free days ahead. Take care of yourself, and rest

as often as you can. It does help our bodies so much.

Hugs,

Barbara

Prednisone. I will see him back in 4 weeks. Then, he may give me two

more weeks of prednisone. He doesn't want me on it full time, but he

will do a week or so at a time, which is good because the Prednisone is

what worked last time. I got the hydrocodone so I can get some sleep

without being awake or woken up with pain. I see the Rheumy still on May

11th, so he is going one month at a time until we get there. He made me

feel like what I am saying really matters. Anyhow, so thats where I'm at

right now. I am very happy about him realizing that I need something to

go with the NSAID. Alright, I better go for now. Thanks for the advice

Barbara. I really appreciated it and apparently I AM being taken

seriously now. Good night all.

That is wonderful. It is a great relief to find someone who takes what you

say seriously! I hope the prednisone works for you and you get some good

sleep!

Here's to having many spoons!
