Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi Angie, Good for you...good news is always a good thing!! I too am having a good day even though the weather is cold and rainy. Yeah, I walk like a gimpy old lady...but at least I'm walking!!! Hugs, /Mi Pain Well Managed Hi all, I'm afraid to report good news. Here goes: I'm actually doing pretty well finally with the pain. The Lyrica, Topomax, Tramadol, Soma mix I'm taking seems to be doing a pretty good job generally. Plus the weather warming up has helped me significantly. I still have trigger points, certain areas that hurt. I walk with a lumber from pain. I hurt bad after standing a few minutes, folding laundry, etc. But that nagging, bringing you to tears even when you are lying down, everywhere pain is really well managed. Of course the fatigue is still around, steps are still a bi**h, I've been sick with a sinus infection, I have a bit of a twitch in my hand, and my sleep patterns are pretty wacko. But the huge relief of that pain is a prayer answered. I may hug my Rheumy next time I see her. Last time I saw her I said " I'd be happy if I could just have a break for a couple hours from this pain " so I really will thank her that she found a combo that has given me a general break for most of the time. I still think there may be some room for a little tweaking on the doses; but its fine tuning. I just thought some sunshine on the boards now and then might be good.
