About Me
I guess I will update this "about me" thingy since "the wonder that is Me" is far more than just extremely "effin" annoying back problems...LOL! I will be 40 in 10 days...woohoo! I have 5 grown children...4 grandchildren (2 more on the way this year!) (holy crap...there's the beginning of my back problems..hahaha) One of my 22 year old twin daughters informed me a couple months ago that she joined the Marines...(I wasn't very happy, but that's a whole other subject)she leaves on December 8th...to South Carolina :-( I am currenly umemployed (I conveniently got fired 2wks after bringing a note in from my Back Specialist saying I was to be on light duty, I'd been there 3 years!)so I have no more insurance. I live with my boyfriend of almost 4 years who is, & has been wonderful! We have a Boxer, 3 cats, & a fish. It's just me & him in the house, the kids come to visit, he has 1 daughter the same age as my twins. I have a pretty sarcastic sense of humor that I use to keep me *mostly* sane! LOL! My boyfriend is a Buddhist, I'm Pagan (Wiccan to be exact...has NOTHING to do with the devil for those of you who don't know!)I'm pro-choice (not pro-abortion), I support EQUAL rights for Gays. I have friends from all walks of life, I usually get along with just about anyone, I'm an easy going, laid back person...but I will not hesistate to stand up for what I believe in! I'm Polish, German, Russian. My ex-husband is Puerto Rican so my children are bi-racial. My grandchildren are multi-racial. Obviously I'm in no way a racist, & do not tolerate racist behavior! I love photography, music, reading, arts & crafts, I like to crochet & have been working on a queen sized blanket for my bed.(might take a while, I have carpal tunnel as well.) I love gardening & Nature...my boyfriend owns an Organic Landscaping Business so there are many gardens around our house & I spend a lot of time outdoors when I can. I'm a vegetarian. I recycle. We have a huge compost pile in the back...& we use it! I don't get bored easily! I love to be barefoot! My dream is to live in the country...will be coming true soon, we're gonna sell this house in a couple of years, buy some land & create a nursery...build our house on the land. I don't watch much television, but I do enjoy the Discovery channel, History channel, CSI, stuff like that...can't stand reality shows! Love to watch movies, we use Netflix & watch about 5-10 movies a week sometimes. I love Indi films, Foreign films, and Documentaries. I'm originally from Chicago, currently lived in Wisconsin for almost 8 years. Have lived in Tennessee, & Virginia for a while as well. I just learned how to drive stick a couple years ago...not as hard as I thought it would be, although I prefer automatic. I love Greek food, it's my most favorite!MMMMM! My favorite color is green...& I like purples a lot too...well, I guess that's enough for now. :-)

Close Back Pain
Treatments
- Bedrest Somewhat Helpful
- If I basically don't do much of anything my back kind of feels ok.
- Chiropractic Adjustment Too Soon to Tell
- I have been to my chiropractor about 3 times so far. I will just say it's too soon to tell if it will be helpful.
- Cortisone (Injection) Working / Worked
- The injections were WONDERFUL, although they only lasted about a month and a half... :-(
- Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
- If it wasn't for the pain meds taking away a bit of the pain, I think I would have lost my mind!

I suffered from depression all my life, I was diagnosed bipolar about 2 years ago. I'm having issues, I need support/help!
