1. Glad that you are feeling better
Don't ya just hate all the pills. Hope you can stop some of them soon.

I got a big appointment tomorrow with a rheumie. A friend of mine went to her last week, it was an over 2 hour visit. That alone, and the driving there, is going to leave me totally exhausted. I don't want more pills but the PT I did hurt way too much to continue.

3. It takes me two big white ones, a little white one, a medium sized white one
and a pink one so the first three don't chew holes in my stomach. An hour later, I can pretty much function. This has been stable for over 6 months and is likely to remain so.

Crutches are OK if that's the way you get around.
