Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Ruthie, I get GREAT results from alcohol!! Couple of frozen margaritas and my pain levels are down to around a 4. Three margaritas and I can actually get out and dance for a while that night.. Luckily there is no side effect the next day either except for maybe just a little soreness but the pain levels are definately decreased. N.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 , DH husband is an internet abbreviation that people use for either " dear husband " or " damn husband " depending on how they are feeling about him at that particular time.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I usually only have wine on holidays or if I'm feeling very anxious. It does help to calm me down. You're right, Ruthie, that the euphoria or pain relief or whatever is only a temporary fix. At least you were able to get through the dinner out with your hubby. I'm sure he appreciated it.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 We did have a nice time at dinner and it was great to get out for some fun. I am still feeling pretty good in spite of all of the high winds and cold. I upped my amytriptilline one more pill and that with the Lyrica is working well. I had stopped the " A " and that was a bad thing to do. I am much better back on it. Fatique is not fun. I can sit down to read a magazine and fall dead asleep in the middle of the afternoon. TV does the same thing. Better than a sleeping pill. But then I wake up at two in the morning and try to go to sleep in bed and lie there for several hours wide awake. GRRR!!!. Oh well, I am still on the right side of the grass, so that is something. Ruthie in NJ > >> Am I nuts? Maybe, but I feel so much better after a glass or two of wine > >> that it is almost amazing.
