Kim!

I swear, you just described me! That is exactly what I deal with, too! Although lately, I haven't had to urinate as often, but usually I have to go about 20 times day! And my lower back is always killing me! And my pain is mostly on my left as well! I've been taking T3 as well, but just like you said, as soon as it wears off, I'm in pain again. I'm trying not to take them very often because I don't want to become addicted, either! And when I do take them, I am so tired and spacey...I don't like that, but at least I'm not in pain at those times! I really feel for you! I'm sure my message didn't help you very much, but its comforting to me to know that I'm not the only one who spends her life in the bathroom! =) By the way, I was cracking up at the "don't touch it"! That's pretty funny! I really hope that things will get better for you soon! I'm going to a new Dr. next week, and I'll ask her about those symptoms! I do think that you need to see a doctor about the urination problem (what meds or you on? could they be affecting that?). Please don't make any hasty decisions (hyst.) before exploring all the options! I do understand your pain! Believe me, I know what you're going through!

You're all in my prayers! Love, Joy in CA
