And, sometimes a good cry helps.<br />Facing MRIs... causes anxiety...<br />I refuse to take steroids, and am scared of other drugs.<br />Plaquinil helps. I have Tylenol #3, and tramadol I have to take 3 times a day. And, low dose xanax at night.<br />Mostly I try to keep stress down, and use alternative... imagery, meditate, aromatherapy...<br />I read about so many heroic people, and I feel like I'm nuts sometimes. I don't have the energy to do much of anything anymore. I'm doing well if I even go out any more.Nenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556997626654968893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595844535299775193.post-33335343249595319612010-04-24T07:57:01.445-04:002010-04-24T07:57:01.445-04:00I take hot baths in the morning to get moving.
