Nicole: You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers! Hang in there
hon! and try to take it one day, even one minute at a time. This is
probably no-brainer but try the heating pad, or the ThermaCare patches
if you can't lay down. Sometimes that is the only thing that helps take
my pain away. I don't do well on strong pain meds, so I take 3-4 Advil
and hit the heat. Doesn't make it go completely away, but dulls it
enough I can stay sane! We're all here for you!
Hugs!!!
