All right, damn it to hell, I can't figure out if this is just my creaky and increasingly wonky body, or if it's a side effect of the Cipro, but my back has been aching unbearably for about 5 hours. Not my lower back, but the area between where the waistband of pants (not low-rise) sit and the bottom of my boobs.

The thing with drug side effects is that someone, *somewhere*, at some point in time, has experienced every damn thing you can think of as a side effect of Drug X. And so "back pain" is listed as a reported side effect of Cipro. But I don't know if that's what this is, or not.

And I'm whining about it to my invisible friends because it won't go away -- I can't get comfortable, and it's not a back pain I'm familiar with (it's too high up), and I want to go to sleep but my back hurts too much to sleep.

This is when I'm seriously considering pulling out the percocet I have squirrelled away from my surgery. Bah.

Man, I hate the not knowing. I mean, you hurt no matter but it's just the need to know why and then know if there is jack shit you can do about it...

it's not a back pain I'm familiar with

Did you maybe pull a muscle?

Tep. maybe take half a Perc and a hot shower?

Erin, I was actually thinking that, only in reverse order -- a hot shower, and then if my back still aches, hit the drugs. Maybe just ibuprofen.

It could be a pulled muscle. I don't know what I would have done to pull it, but sometimes all a person has to do is sneeze to pull a muscle. Though I don't remember sneezing...

I've heard that the Hello Kitty poptarts taste *horrible.*

Yeah, but Powerpuff Girls oreos weren't bad....

I have strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, and have sprinkled sugar on them....and baked an angel food cake. Except I don't actually have a big bundt pan. Only mini ones. I made 7 little cakes, and then gave up and threw out the rest of the batter.

Maybe your back's been Love Weaseled...

Wow, I haven't read in here in yonks, and just did the natter diet (last 100 posts) - I know that school! I live on a hill a couple of hills south of that school. Huh.
