About Me
Anyone see "Finding Nemo"? My family calls me "Dory." Hence, my anglefish photo :) I love writing and poetry; psychology-counseling (good thing I chose that as a profession); learning new things; animals (was an exotic bird breeder for years and have four parrots as friends) and two dogs; I have a great husband who I've been married to for over 20 years now (Geez--that makes me sound so old hee hee) two think-they-are-grown children (almost 18 son and 19 y/0 daughter who just moved out on her own); my first journal entry I guess says a bit more about me.

Everything I wrote above and much much more....

Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Too long to post here. First journal entry has the scoop.
Treatments
- Neurontin Not Working
- Side effects were bad.
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- Helps with flares.
- Swimming Working / Worked
- I love to float!
Close Back Pain
Was diagnosed with AS ten years ago. Hate chemo drugs so I only take meds for pain and Sx's. I've got about 12 discs/vertebre that are messed up now so....anyway, got a new thing going now..some neuro thing which is frustrating me more than the pain (except for these horrid headaches!). I could write a novel about back problems and pain...I was disabled for 8 years; and then, decided the pain wasn't getting better so I went to work for 2 years. Well, now I'm looking at disability again.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Not Working
- It didn't help back pain. Considering for headaches.
- Bedrest Working / Worked
- Helps-but, if I stay too long it gets worse.
- Carisoprodol Working / Worked
- Yep. Take it every 4 hours and at bedtime.
- Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
- Cortisone (Injection) Working / Worked
- Helps rib joints. But, hurts like H*** for a week!
- Darvon Not Working
- In the beginning. Not now.
- Epidural Injection Working / Worked
- Got rid of my Sciatica-need it again.
- Flexeril Not Working
- Same as Darvon.
- Heat Not Working
- Worked until recently--now I have to use ice cause the heat makes other Sx worse.
- Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
- Back on it again after taking Morphine. It works better. Take 20mg every 4 hours of the 325mg.
- Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
- I try.
- Morphine Working / Worked
- Take only Kadian at night now to help me sleep thru the night.
- Naproxen Not Working
- Aaaaghh. Ulcers.
- Physical Therapy Considering
- Had in past and defineitly need it NOW!
- Relaxation Working / Worked
- Yep.
- Stretching Working / Worked
- This does help! Now, if I would just do it!
