Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well, I had a physical with my GP this morning. I have no insurance, so she is the only doc I can see right now. She knows about my FM/CFS and other problems and has also been treating me for severe anemia for the past few months. The anemia is getting better but only very gradually. I have a prescription for Ultram and I'm finding that I really need it, even though I don't like how it makes me feel. I have also been taking about 2600 mg of Tylenol along with the Ultram for a few months, but I haven't found that it is helping any at all. I'm just leary of taking that much stuff that can ruin my liver! So, I finally asked about a muscle relaxant, and she gave me a prescription for generic Flexeril. So I sure am hoping that this will help. My neck has just been getting unbearable. I have DDD, and two of the discs in my cervical spine are all but gone, so I have bone grinding on bone which sets of tremendous pain, inflammation, spasms, and radiculopathies. I can barely read my own hand writing any more, but it still has not affected my ability to play my harps, aside from the fact that it hurts, but everything hurts, so what!! I also found out yesterday that the contract position I've been on for the past year will be over the end of the month. The fellow who placed me here thinks he might have another slot for me, doing pretty much the same thing at another location, so I am really hoping that will come through. Or something. I really need to find something that will provide insurance again. Wish me luck!
