yeah, right now I take 800mg of naproxen .. 3-4x a day which semi helps
but not like it used to.. another doc at the ER when I went in with my
hand (same issue, arthritis) gave me Ibuprophen 800mg to take 3x a day
totally ripped my stomach apart and I was on the loo 20x a day for a good
week.. ug! think I lost weight though ;-)

Well if I was doing half way okay, I'd prolly say ehhhhh and tempt fate..
but from the cortizone in my hand because I have almost no cartledge left
between my fingers or wrist that hurts like hell half the time and with my
back getting the cortizone... For about two months now, for about a week
after each I never hit below 250... the back shots really did me in though,
ug! can't believe I was back hitting 500's again.. thankfully today I'm down
to 300's... I reckon I'll stay there for a few more days then taper back
down
again... Heck, for dinner I had a salad.. with Basalmi Vinegarette dressing
and chicken club wrap.. exchanged fries for salad.. so.. bah! and that hit
me like a ton of bricks. So, I said screw it and gotta mocha cappicino while
at the Mall. Figure if I have to suffer, might as well get some enjoyment
out of it.. pfft! walking half way through I had to stop 4x ... GOD I feel
so
damn old!

ok lol enough bitching.. I'm off to watch a movie and then watch the blanket
show.. enjoy
