Love to you, beekaytee. You are amazing.

Painsomnia. Have tried usual solutions without relief and resorted to a leftover Percocet. Tried 1/2 first, which usually knocks out the pain quickly. Nothing, so I've taken another half. Blah. I'm using my heating pad, too, but I have to be careful because last time I fell asleep on it and gave myself a second degree burn on my stomach. Two vertebrae have popped back into place (neck and mid-back) but there's still something funky going on that is affected my left shoulder, jaw, and reverberating down to my left foot.

Also, The Boy is waffling on going with me tomorrow, which is making me cranky. All signs point to In It For The Sexytimes, which is fun but not what I'm after long term.

Love you too, smonster.

I'm so sorry to hear about the pain. And, I'm totally with you on the heating pad caution. I have fallen asleep on one, entirely too many times. Can't somebody make one with a timer?

I hope the Percocet helps, and I'm wafting comfort and rest ~ma your way. Sweet dreams, too.

Oh my god, that sounds awful! The reverberating part, I mean.

Yikes. Here, have ALL the calming and easing ~ma. I hope it lets up by tomorrow.

Last week, I spent several days not being able to turn my head more than about 5 degrees in either direction. MUCH more painful than a simple crick from sleeping wrong.

I broke down and paid for an excellent massage after tons of otc pain relievers failed me. It worked.

This week, I'm considering taking curcumin regularly. I've had so many tendon issues over the last couple of years. I'm blaming menopause and looking for a solution. Turmeric really helped with my last bout of trigger finger, so I'm thinking preemptive anti-inflammatories are in order.

Wishing rest, peace, and easing of pain to all my lovelies here.

I had to work until 11:15pm, and have to be back before 9am because it's time for the county to do their annual licensing inspection. Then I can come home for a nap and go back to work until 11:15 again.

I did finally get to sleep and feel better this morning.

Oh man, not being able to turn your head is the worst. I'm glad you finally got some relief.

WindSparrow, that sounds utterly exhausting. I hope the inspection goes smoothly and that you have the highest quality of nap possible.

Pain sucks the big one. I have done something to my right hip. Over the last few days the pain has come and gone. Last night I saw Spiderman and coming out of the theater, my hip went into pain mode and it hasn't released since. I tried to do some stretches when I work up this morning. Going downstairs this morning to grab breakfast was slow going with oodles of pain.

I'm trying to work and Kelly is going to come over this afternoon to see if she can PT it. If not, I'm calling my doc cause this is has got to go. I'm near tears any time I have to move.

Aw, Suzi, that sucks. I hope Kelly can fix it.

There's still something not quite right with my neck, but hopefully it will settle out when I'm in the car.

Sent off an unfinished version of my business plan for review. Still have to write the executive summary and do some more number stuff. Now I'm off to look at used cars.

Hugs to everyone who wants them. I've been offline, dealing with my own fun mentsl health issues (and also my mother's visit), but I just caught up. And now I have to go fetch the toddler.

TODDLER!!!!

Hivemind - can I mix a muscle relaxant with Vicodin? I took the generic flexoril about an hour ago and it has done NOTHING. Shoot, I just tried to change my seated position and it has taken me way too long to regain any composure.

Hivemind - can I mix a muscle relaxant with Vicodin?

Not an expert, but I was certainly on muscle relaxants and heavy pain pills after my surgery.
