doc has prescribed this for me after my SPD has come back with vengeance. Am in constant agony. Also on co codamol. Am teary with pain. Cocodamol 1 tab barely touches it. I am left with nerve pain despite my pelvis being aligned nicely.
am not coping at all. Burst into tears at docs.
anyone?

My old Gp told me to send my boys to boarding school then I would be able to rest! Doctors haven't got a clue altough my GP is very good and sympathetic but I think she gets pissed off with me moaning about the same condition. DH is cross cause I need stronger piankillers but I won't go to ask for some I just sit in silence with a face like a slapped arse as he calls it!

My boys are brill though they do so much for me - tonight they will run up the shop for a paper and magazine for me as they all go out to athletics tonight and don't want me to be bored! if anything good has come out of this crap condition it is that I have the most tolerant, understanding, helpful boys on the planet!

did the doc think you had doctors wages? They are on another planet I reckon... Far removed from reality.
meant to say am finding the amit really helpful. Feeling lots better. Also sleeping better which helps. Have mum
here now so have some support. Also mum do you find pain worsens in the late afternoon/ evening time?
4pm and I'm reaching for painkillers.
