Jan 2013

Had another appointment with my primary care doc today. Thorough exam. He said the muscles in my neck, shoulders, etc are super tense and that can be putting pressure on my nervers. On a round of steroids, muscle relaxers at night, and pain meds during the day to stop the pattern. If that doesn't happen by Monday, off to the neurologist I go.

Taken the first dose of muscle relaxers. Feeling them start to kick in. This relaxing feeling that is creeping up on me is kinda feeling nice.

Fingers crossed this nips it in the bud.

You guys are awesome in this forum. Really, really appreciate the ideas, the support, etc!!!
