Whimper. It's like
Wharrgarbl, but quieter.
My mother-in-law had this treatment down in Florida, and she can't stop raving about it since it helped her spinal stenosis.
http://www.strokebreakthrough.com/videos/I watched one of the sciatica videos. It made me cry. I hope people who successfully have the treatment really do well. It sounds rather amazing.
Said mother-in-law called me yesterday to ask about the herb Devil's Claw, which I did know about instinctively. She's taking more supplements than prescriptions, with her doctors' approval. I'm happy that she is feeling so much better.
Speaking of that side of the family, Adam did a sort of travel bounce: He returned from Pennsylvania yesterday afternoon. He took his luggage bag, dumped his clothes into the washer and dryer, then put them right back into the bag. This morning, he woke up at four, went to the shop in Virginia, and flew to Nevada. He's in Las Vegas until Sunday night. He'll be home to Maryland on Monday. We think he will have a few days off after that. He's exceeded his hours for the pay period and then some.
The sciatica has been flaring since this morning. To put it in perspective, the pain is much less painful than when I was seventeen and unable to sleep without an adult dose of codeine. Compared to the year I spent as a teenager screaming every night, this flare is quite controlled. Annoying and irritating, but controlled. Then there is the fibromyalgia flare, the widespread nerve pain, the joint pain, the headache, the sinus pain, the Raynaud's flare, the lumbar pain, the neck pain, the shoulder pain, and the PMS. I'm doing fairly well for wanting to rip the heads off dolls. The medication and stretching is helping. But I am very cold and a bit numb.
I am... very tired. Exhausted. Fatigued. Drained. Worn out. I want to say depressed but I still don't think I'm depressed.
I'm just... tired.
