Hello Everyone.
Thank you all so much for the support. I am feeling much better today. I still have a slight headache, which I found out I am going to have to deal with the headaches (slight or full-blown) until I at least get my ovary removed. They are hormonal, and there is nothing that can be done for them. Once the hormones spike, it takes 72 hours for them to settle down. The headaches just have to run their course. (not the answer I was looking for, but an answer non the less).
The doctor I work for had me take Motrin and do back stretches the night it happened and the next morning. I was also told to keep moving to work it out. So, I went to work and by noon yesterday, my back felt better. Like I said, I had never had that happen before, it was very scary. My heart goes out to anyone who has to deal with that on a regular basis. I was told it was probably because I had been moving furniture into the new house over the weekend. I have to remember that I am not as young and in shape as I used to be. I also need to remember that I have good men in my life who will move me without any catches (you know what I mean.)
One last note, this is embarrassing but what the h***. I have had 8 pregnancies, 4 kids, and 4 miscarriages. Because of this, I am prone to stress incontinence. When I went to a chiropractor ONCE, he adjusted my back and I peed myself.lol My back and head felt great afterwards, but I was humiliated.
Love you all

PS. I am also feeling really good about myself because I actually went to work in pain and feeling as bad as I did. It really helped my mental status. I usually cave in to the pain and call out sick.

You are in my prayers and thoughts!
I too, have struggled with my health issues and taking medication, it does not make things easy. Been into surgery numerous times, and have just let myself go through it, without thinking and pressuring myself too much.
I find it helpful to continually hand this over to my Higher Power.
I have empathy for you. Take care and God Bless!

Namommy..
I'm praying for you... for serenity around your cravings... and for relief from your pain.
I don't get migranes very often... but I can sure sympathize with anyone who has them... and then back pain on top of that.

Thanks everyone.
I had my MRI this morning, at first it wasn't bad, they put on the classic rock station for me, he told me it would be about 45 min. for the first part, and just then the station announced a 40 min. commercial free rock block. What timing!
My back hurt really bad staying in one position for that long, but I managed. The worst part was the injection of dye. I triggered some old memories. I had forgotten that one of my favorite parts of getting high was that feeling and taste I would get in my throat when I shot drugs. When I got that feeling and taste from the injection, I got that feeling like I just wanted to chase that feeling again. At least I had 45 min. to lay still and pray and meditate. I thought the whole process through and remembered what else comes with that feeling. Homelessness, prostitution, degredation, jails, etc. etc.
My doctor will get the report on Monday, so until then I just have to sit tight and wait.
Again thank you all, I love you guys.

Hang in there!
One small step at a time. Even if it is just getting ready for work and making yourself go. You can do it. You can. Stay in the good routines you have built over the last 8 years. They are worth a lot right now. We are praying for you.

(((NAMOMMY))))) I hope your back gets better soon, hopefully the MRI will help. I had tons of MRI's when I first was diagnosed with seizures, I remember that dye. I haven't had an MRI for about five years now but I surely do remember. At that time I don't think they had music in them, just the klunk, klunk, klunk. You're lucky. Hope your results are good.
