As you may or may not have noticed, I've been quite scarce this past week.
I just popped in for a few minutes each day because.................SON OF A BEE STING......
my back has been killing me!
It's been going on for about a week and a half.  I thought, at first, I had pulled a muscle, but it was getting worse instead of better.  So, I finally made an appointment with my doctor.
This was after I went on some cockamamie health site and typed in my symptoms.
Upper right back pain
Fatigue
Radiating pain
etc.....
I got several diagnosis, most of which involved cancer of some sort.
My advice to you is; stay away from cockamamie health websites because you will become a flaming ball of nerves. 
Friday, I saw the doctor and he felt my back and said, "Hey, I can feel the spasm in your back."
I was in no mood for levity so I retorted, "So can I, bub!"
He prescribed a powerful asprin related super power bomb and a lovely muscle relaxer.
It was quite nice, until the muscle relaxer would wear off.  I could only take it once a day, before bedtime, so about 5:30-6:00 pm, I'd turn into the wicked witch of the west and my children would run and hide!
But, then I saw my chiropracter today.  He likes to talk.
He did all kinds of muscles tests and felt here and there all the way up my spine.
He asked me questions about the pain and I answered, "No that doesn't hurt, nope.....nope...
well that KINd of AHOWWWWW does!
Then he really got into the neck stuff and
 "Just relax your neck."
But I know what's coming!
"Good, relax more and.........."
CCCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRAAAAAACCCCCK
We did that a few times and then up the spine.
"AAAAAAhhhhhoooww."
"That was where you had the pain right?"
"How could you tell?"
Onto my right side............CCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCK
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Left side.
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCrack
"Okay, you can sit up now."
"That's easy for you to say, buddy!"
I sat up
"Well, how do you feel?"
Actually,........................I feel better, a little sore, but better, much better.
I'm going back on Monday.
Pray for me.

    Ginger!  Horrors!  I must lay away the tiaras for a few weeks.  I keep them on my lap now.
    D6fer, I know all the back exersizes and try to incorporate them into my dance classes where ever possible.  My Dad said, "You're getting old, dear.  Welcome to my world."
    Thanks Dad!
    Sweet cookie, I do feel much better, now that I've been adjusted.  I didn't even take any pain medication last night.

    I feel pain coming on again!  Thanks, ed!
    Seriously, it's funny that no matter what you type in, you get cancer.
    I'm thinking about going back and typing in the worst symptoms I can think of, just to see what I can get.
     
    Large open pustules
    loss of limbs
    violent diarrhea
    projectile vomiting
    fever of 105
    severe chest and head pains
     
    What do you think that would get me?
     
  • silverwhisper said on Oct 02, 2007....
    well, right now? a great big laugh!

    I tried it.  It says I may have Chagas disease, diptheria, pneumonia, scarlett fever, sinusitis, l
    Legionnaire's disease, Mumps, Whipple Disease, or Tuleramia.
    Doesn't it sound like some of those are made up?

    hehe! I am a new chiro groupie too. Who knew a cracked neck could cure a headache and random ear aches? I googled it too (du, it said cancer too) and I flipped out!! I just said "I am not having that" and unplugged the whole computer!

    Hope you are having some relief and enjoy your next back crack! Mamie

  • pickersplock said on Oct 02, 2007....
    I'm glad people are finally taking chiropracters seriously.
    Mamie, it's amazing how much better I feel now.
  • Mamie said on Oct 03, 2007....
    I know what you mean...when you discuss it , it makes complete sense that the impact of going is so good for you. I am unsure why I never considered it before! Nor did my primary doctor suggest it, but he did keep giving me prescriptions for different things...I hate that!
  • pickersplock said on Oct 03, 2007....
    After only one visit, I didn't need the pills anymore and I think that's much better than taking medication!

    Picker.... a friend of mine in Italy is a chiropracter...i went to her many years ago for a back spams....she put me back on business in only 3 sessios..never had a problem since then...also she gave some exercises to do at home...now when i feel a little tense i do them....it amazing how simple movements can heal ...

Today is T day at work....
If you know how to multi task....
I am drowning my sorrows in a bowl full of kid's cereal - Cookie Crisp, dinner of champions. I could have easily made a case for eating cookies for dinner, but at least this way I can pretend to have eaten real food.

What I'd like to know is...
in the flesh...
Happy Thanksgiving....
