Re: How's it going, FS?

Well, I had an appointment with my pain management doctor today, and they said that the MRI of my neck that I had last week showed that I have a bulging disc near the base (which is something I already knew from my last pain doctor), and so they're gonna give me some more trigger point injections on June 30th and an epidural there on July 6th. They also put me on Lyrica, which I used to take and which worked really well for several years until my body built up a resistance and it didn't help anymore. The hope is that since it's been over a decade since I last took it, that won't be a problem for a while. Fingers crossed, eh?

They also want me to get MRIs of my back and hips later this week, and if they end up looking anything like my last MRIs of those areas did, that may finally convince the doctor to put me back on the same dosage of Norco that my last pain doctor had me on. As it is, I'm on less than half the dosage that I was before, and let's just say that I can very definitely feel the difference. I spend most of my time in so much pain I can barely think, but apparently "just" having fibromyalgia, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative disc disease, a herniated disc, plantar fasciitis and sciatica isn't enough to justify the amount of pain medication I was previously on, and they need more to go on before they're willing to bump me back up. I can't really blame them, because I know that their hands are pretty much tied, seeing as how Florida recently passed some pretty strict legislation on how/when/why doctors can prescribe opioid painkillers, but it's still really frustrating. Well, whatcha gonna do.

Anyway, after my appointment I went to the store and got some groceries and treated myself to some cupcakes at the bakery to cheer myself up. Now I'm curled up on my recliner in my favorite PJs and I'm about to play some more Dragon Age while cuddling with my new kitty, Amaya. So all things considered, it could still be a lot worse.

gosh, I have similar issues with my spine (discs and all) and I'm so lazy with my exercises, and I can't go to a hospital to a chiropractor or electrotherapy due to coronavirus. Dealing with the doctors and all that stuff is unbelievably stressful.
