Good news--of a sort

[hyphenate]

I'm still really messed up ;) but something sorta good has happened.

I might have mentioned that my new doctor doesn't like me taking opiod painkillers on a regular basis, so she won't prescribe them. I was in last week, though, and asked for a pain management clinic, and that's going to take place sometime in the near future (there's a wait) and I've got PT starting sometime in a week and a half.

However, I've suspected that the naproxen hasn't been working for awhile now. I asked for mobic instead, and she agreed to that. So I started it late last week, and I realised Sunday that a lot of the overall pain and aching wasn't there. So the mobic seems to be working! It's not perfect, and I still have a lot of weakness and fatigue, but with less pain, it's a little more tolerable.

I guess rotating prescriptions helps. Too bad most doctors don't tell you.
