OT: Let's see how old you are
|

Now be honest - How many for these lines have you heard? I can tell you I have heard most of them. I used to get in trouble for taking my shoes off at school to go out to the play ground. What got me in trouble was forgetting to take them home. I wish I had never heard of castor oil. I wish I had a nickle for every bucket of water I had to draw from the... more »

Stopping my Anti-depressant, yikes!
|
| |
Aloha All! As some (or most) of you know, I've been an "off again, on again" type of member/supporter/friend for pretty much the entire time I've been here.

The "Headache from Hell"
|

My name for Occipital Neuralgia. I'd been fighting to abort it, as I could feel it coming on, but by Saturday I knew I wasn't going to win. Luckily my doctor has me keep a stash of cortocosteroids here, and I have Ambien, if needed, for sleep. And I can take a prescription NSAID, to also help with... more »

sciatica
|
| |
8 months ago, bicycling in L.A., a car going 15-20mph down a driveway hit my bike, catapulting me into excruciating sciatica ever since. I've just tried corticosteroids (1-week "medrol"), wch helped only a little during and didn't last. Neurontin worked for a spell, then conked out.
