Hi dear M,

Emma was right … you do need loads of Vitamin V. Seriously though, I hope you are feeling better now that it is a week since you wrote this post. If not, for fucks sake, tell those docs to get you better SOON. Either way, I’m thinking of you.

Love,
JP/deb

I've been there with back pain (herniated disc) and there really isn't anything worse. Yes, childbirth was much more do-able (at least there was an end in sight!) Try RX-strength ibuprofen (800 mg) and see if that dulls it enough to at least get you to the doc. Tonya's last blog post..FOR THE SAKE OF THE ECONOMY

What you need is distractions. You need to stop thinking about your pain. Find a distraction to make you forget about it until it gets better. I heard that eating spicy stuff helps, or gently snap yourself with a rubberband around your wrist. The theory is that our brain cannot process too many pain signals at once, so if there are other pain sources, you will feel the back pain less.

Geesh, Michelle, I leave you alone for a little while and you get yourself in trouble! I've had good luck with a local chiropractor for back problems. The first one I went to didn't help much but this guy was great. He treats sports injuries and works on several local Jaguar players so he came highly recommended. I don't know how much experience you have with chiropractors but I would highly recommend going to one who works with athletes and not just little old ladies. These seem to be the best. I hope you feel better soon, Michelle. Back trouble can drive you nuts if not treated so you have the right idea in getting help as soon as possible. Teachers really depend upon the ability to stand for long periods so it's vital to get a handle on this ASAP. Take care. Ken Albin's last blog post..Art Garfunkel Concert

Oh Michelle! I am so sorry to hear you guys are all down and out. I like Emma’s comment about avoiding cleaning though…made me laugh. Hope you all feel better soon!
