this could be bad

uh oh.....the pinched nerve is back.......have to roll out of bed as opposed to jump. Did not work out this morning. I dont know what I will do if it get worse. My chiro is way to expensive and wants to see me every day for 2 weeks.....ummm with a co pay thats like 250.00 out of my pocket. She is amazed at my extremely high tolerance to pain.....last time she hooked me up to this electric current thingy and kept increasing the intensity...ummmm mine was set really high and she said most men cant handle that intensity level. Maybe I shall suffer with the pain and even be more b%#chy. My liquid diet went south....will restart it. I am just having a hard time getting through the mid afternoon and evening hours. I am also worried about my body going into starvation mode. I dont know. I am so discouraged right now and feel like crap and like a failure.  I read all of your posts and remember how excited I was when I got my date. It took me a year and a half to finally have the surgery. During that time I moved from the mid west to the east coast. Amazing how time flies and how much I have changed. Even divorced a husband...hehehe I dont miss him and consider that as extra weight loss too. ok yall be good huggs tammy

Instead of all those trips to the chiropractor, how about one trip to an M.D. and get some muscle relaxer (flexeril) to stop the spasms?  DH has back and shoulder problems and they really, really help him. Exercise isn't one of your options right now, just getting better is. Sorry all this is happening, life just sucks sometimes. love ya anyway

Sorry you're feeling bad. Back pain is no fun! Susan says go to the MD - I like doing both. I usually go to my MD for the pain meds and then to the chiropractor for adjusting. I haven't had any issues in a while though. That is one thing I'm hoping to stay that way! I hate it when my back hurts.

I really wish you were closer and could've come last night. We had a good time visiting and meeting each other, but we did miss you. It was really cool to see some of the transformed faces - most people's pictures don't really tell you much about how they look.

I haven't been eating very much the last couple of days. I think I'm coming down with a cold or something. I just feel blah. Not really bad just not good. I was able to drink 3 bottles of water yesterday. That's the first time since surgery that I've drank that much in a day. I also found out last night that I've only been taking 1/2 as much vitamin as I should. I've only been taking 1 Flintstone chewable a day, because on the bottle it says adults take 1 tablet. Jo Beth said last night I should be taking 2 a day. Oops! So today I took 2 like I'm suppose to. One of the ladies last night suggested the Centrum chewable - I may try that when my Flintstones run out. I don't really care for the taste - my kids love them but they make me gag.

I'm off to speak at Orientation. Fridays are so much fun around here. Hope you feel better and have a good day!

muscle relaxers...good......gotta find a dr. there are 2 here in town....both are quacks I swear. One likes to give out pills......guess I should go to her. She takes my insurance too.

vitamins......i noticed alot of the "grads" are on pregnant woman vitamins......so I am trying those. I love flintstones........especially the high iron ones. anyhow...I switched. I am having hair and nail issues this far out too. So we never escape from that crap. i would love to come to a meeting but the distance is the issue. I am taking vacation July 9-15 return to work on the 16. When are yall having your next get together on the weekend? I think I can make it...bring my daughter...and a map. Traffic gets my anxiety attacks up but I am doing better. I cant stay in Marion forever...I gotta get out. I drive to St Louis....so I can drive to ya'll. We should try this sometime. Have any of you tried adding the crystal lite singles to your water? OMG....the fruit punch is great. Try  it......yummm-o!!!! weather provided I am laying out this weekend. Maybe read a good book...maybe sleep. Also depending on my back. I have 3 disc that are messed up from my weight and this pinched nerve.  Dr said it may never be right......well it is better since losing weight but not cured. Every now and then I move just right and I am on my back for a week or two. So I gotta fix it.

ok...well I am gonna get back to work. I will talk to ya'll later. huggs Tammy

 

sounds like a trip to the MD would definatly be in order now. some of the things you describe sound like me before I had my back surgey about 7 yrs ago. good luck with that...I know I suffered for 2 yrs trying to not have surgery. I had the shots into the spine and they helped alot. of course the weight didnt. so take care of yourself!  as for the crystal light...I have not used it in my water but yummy yummy mixed into my vanilla shakes. Hang in there! this too shall pass! nutti

Crystal Light in the shakes - sounds good. I haven't even thought about doing that.

I LOVE the fruit punch. I also add a packet of sweet and low - it tastes super sweet.
