Back on steroids, so depressed.

Thank you all for your support and kind words. I'm going for the low carb route. I have a feeling my doctor will fight for me. She is wonderful so I will keep hope.

Rebecca, you cracked me up with the kindergartner/speech pathologist comment. Thanks.. I needed the laugh.

You're always welcome!  I swing who/whatever I can catch!  Want a 3rd grade teacher?  One of those is across the hall chatting as we speak...

(I'm doing research and writing reports today... state mandated testing, so I have no students to work with)

I second Heather's suggestion.  I have had two friends who were desperate for relief from back pain who have TENS units, one who has hers implanted, and both are happy with their units.

The eyes on our labradoodles are wiggling in their sockets from all the swingin' we did for you.
