Journal Entry for September 24, 2008 Mood
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 | A General Update story
Wel i'm doing better,my back is still pretty good but soon i willl have to go for another shot but that is ok by me..I had the lycria reduced..Doc had me start taking 300mg a day and the next things that happened my legs blew up like balloons so i had to stop taking it .It was to much for me..now i only take 2 pills aday..i find that it helps but i am not putting on weight..and it does stop most of the pain..i wish that they could find something else to put me on  that i would not have the weight gain but take care of all my pain...With FM,RA,and ostesis in my hips i guess that there is not on drug to take but i am hopeful..so the bad weather will be upon me and then i will be house bound till spring..the pain will be unbearable at times but i must think positive..Only if it was easier said then done..My children are now understanding that what i have many people do and it is just not me..I am happy that they watch the DVD that i gave them on Fibro..It did help! Well i hope everyone is doing well...Try to keep the smiles i know it is hard.See Yall soon.

    So glad that you wrote a journal entry! Think of you many times and hoping you are not in so much pain. I am about the same with the FMS & OA. Some days are better than others. I stopped with the lyrica b/c it really put the weight on me. I have enough trouble with my weight without taking something that promotes It is getting pretty here now with the fall in the air. Take care my friend.
    Hugs, Chris
