Well, I just got diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the lowest part of my spine

Argh! I mean, yay for a diagnosis, but still! Bad Thursday, no biscuit!

In other news, my boss just told me that I needed to do a power dump. Somehow I managed not to turn twelve until after he walked out of the office carrying a G4.

Welcome to the Tact Factory!

Would that be a Tactory?

I expect it'll get much better than I feel right now, and I am honestly glad that there is a cause other than "yeah, backs are weird."

Definitely. Especially a cause where there are ads on TV for the medicine. You know what I mean -- it's not like they were like, "It's called XYZ, but yeah, just wait it out."

But the fact that Vicodin doesn't make a dent in it is a little daunting.

Maybe that was just the wrong type of drug for you?

Well, I just got diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the lowest part of my spine,

Ouch. Good luck. I hope it's treatable. I know nothing about it, except that it means Arthritis of the back, I think. Either way? Not helping.

I wish you relief and walking, soonest.

Oh, Dana, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear it.

Ahahahahaha!!!

Dana -- I'm so sorry.

I think it's funny that Reese wore Kirsten's 3 year old dress to the GGs.

You so need to watch Scrubs. I'm bringing my season 1 DVDs to Escapade.

I want to blow my work rewards on this. That strikes me as sufficiently something-I'd-never-get-myself. In silver.

Dana - The protocol that I am on for my fibro is sometimes used for people diagnosed osteoarthritis. (The Dr. theorizes that untreated fibro or similar things turn into Osteoarthritis). Anyhoo, if you are interested I can copy the relevant sections of his book on it and get you info on the med protocol.

That's kick ass ita.
