May 27, 2018 10:00pm             Back to  In the Beginning I had a better name for this post, but unfortunately it came to me in the middle of the night and I forgot it.  It has been a juggling act with the pain meds. Between the nerve pain down my limbs and numbness in hands and toes that's partially treated with the gabapentin; and the pain in my pelvis and hip that goes to my knee that is alieved by the tizanadine (that I can't take during the day) it has been a real roller coaster.  Tried to take Tylenol during the day to alleviate the hip pain, but that's been of marginal help. Haven't been able to concentrate at work, plus the loss of sensation makes it difficult to type and even hold a pen, let alone take meeting notes fast enough.  Dr. V finally told me last week to go on disability.  Walking any distance is difficult at times due to the hip pain; barely made the circuit through Costco yesterday....
