There's no reason so doubt yourself here - you're the only one who truly can tell how much it helped or did not and whether or not it's worth repeating!<br /><br />Your physio sounds great; I'm glad about the menu planning ideas but agree it will take some real determination to do your part. However, I KNOW you can do it - witness your exams success!<br /><br />I have had those episodes where you describe the sweating, waves of pain, gonna pass out feeling. UGH. Usually now it's when I've missed a dose of crucial meds, fortunately... and not as often otherwise. When it does happen, ohh!<br /><br />Interestingly, that was also the reaction I had the day after my first (and to date, only) lumbar nerve blockade! The clinic doc said that was not normal reaction and maybe I was getting a GI bug - did I have diarrhea? Um, NO, actually. It WAS the block; others I've spoken with have had similar reactions, especially much nausea.<br /><br />My point, while long and rambling, was to trust your instincts here, I believe. :)<br /><br />Just keep plugging away. That is what we all must continue to do. Notice how we somehow seem to manage to accomplish so much, despite such terrific odds?!Lisa Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09270449917254845437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286152959789576033.post-37661203036171480442009-07-15T03:21:59.589+12:002009-07-15T03:21:59.589+12:00Good luck going back to school!

I go back in a month myself, and I am soooo nervous :-( I haven't figured out a pain management regime that works yet.Tough Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157466271469041163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286152959789576033.post-80709540830108219182009-07-12T01:24:34.052+12:002009-07-12T01:24:34.052+12:00Big hugs for Monday - take it slowly and I hope it...Big hugs for Monday - take it slowly and I hope it goes ok for you xox I have a bit of experience with stomach/bowl problems and have had good results in the past from Aloe Vera juice (you can get a AloeDigest form which I find best) and Inner Health Plus - the good bacteria capsules. Also if you don't like the juice you can get it in caps too :) I hope you had a good holiday! Thanks for replying to my msg re the screws - it helped and a reply from me is on it's way to you :) Keep smiling & stay strong xoxNicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015282393641027077noreply@blogger.com
