HI PEEPS,
I'm still alive and kicking, but not interested in hanging around the website too much.  Sitting in front of the cmptr. for very long makes me uncomfortable, so I avoid it, or get up when discomfort increases.

I'm doing ok.  I called the doc a couple of days ago, because I had already tripled the dosage of Lyrica that he recommended, and  it doesn't touch the pain.  I'm now at 4x the dose, with his permission, and he prescribed patches, called Lidoderm, to stick on my skin.  They must be left on for 12 hrs. and then left off for 12 hrs.   

Silly me, I cut little ones the first time - totally ineffective.  Today, I'm going to cut much bigger ones, like the size of writing tablet paper!

The nerve pain has spread about 12 inches up, and about 6 inches down  from the disappearing rash at my waistline and down my stomach.  So it's up to my shoulder blade and all the way around my chest....  if you get my drift. :)  and is also down my hip and around to my stomach.
Clothing and lingerie are not my favorite subjects just now.

With a smile, Bye bye.
