Just wanted to say thanks. I not on any meds. Which is why I think I need a break, but my pain never exceeds more than an 8, so I really don't have much to complain about like most of you do. It's just I haven't had much of a break since March, with at least 6 bouts a day my worse at work starting at 6:15 am. I really don't want to take anything yet not until I have to take a trip to ER. Sometimes I just have to cry it out and then I'm okay for a while longer. When did you start taking meds? my doctor says when I'm ready I'll know. I just don't think I should have any until I'm experiencing level 10 pain. I don't know yet, I know it gets alot worse then what I'm feeling, but the all day bouts of 30 minutes or longer wear me down with exhaustion. I think my droopy red eyes have become permanent from my all day exposure of the pain.
