Okay- I did way to much cleaning . My neck is killing me and my back is too. My neck feels like it needs to pop or something like you slept on it wrong. oooo i feel so bad. I took extra medication today. I know its not good - but man it hurts. even when I lay down it hurts. It hasn't hurt like this in so long. well at least the bottom level of my house is clean. i just need to work on the top part ( another day, another time) so yeah. Thats a good thing about 2 level houses! ouch I hurt... :(

yep, the body is very good at telling us when we have done too much. personally i think its fine to increase pain relief meds like hydrocodone (to a point), but increasing muscle relexants and other drugs probably doesn't do much for acute pain like this, because they take days/weeks to work. how are your side effects going? are you still getting swollen ankles?

I am taking a water pill for 30 days right now so nope,. no swollen ankles or feet! and they feel better at least.. thanks for the support. I haven't taken many hydros but today wow... i am so in pain. I can't turn my neck to a certain point.. I do not know what i did to it.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
