    Sciatica passed in a couple of days. I took a mornings bedrest and it went away. Back pain is intermittant now. Just when I over do it or sit too long in awkward angles - which I guess is overdoing it too. Some muscle cramping, which is to be expected. Think I'm on the mend but figured I'd get a specialist to check me out anyhoo.


    I'm largely language agnostic


    After a while they all bug me :doh:

    I've been using meloxicam for years for sciatica, works for me (thank God) I can now walk all day and play tennis regularly.

      God I'm stressed lately. I don't feel stressed in the throbbing veins at the temple high blood pressure sene, but I'm not sleeping well - a couple of hours a night at most - and what little sleep I get is filled with weird dreams. I'm also drinking far too much lately. Another clear sign that I'm stressed. If it wasn't for the sleepless nights, I probably wouldn't be drinking at all, but I'm in the unhappy situation where I need to be as sharp as possible for 18 hours a day, and 6 hours of alcohol assisted sleep is better than two hours of nonsense sleep. And yet more stress. This level of alcohol intake can't be good for me, certainly it isn't good for my now generally grumpy disposition. I went to see saw-bones the other day who recommended a life-style change, but singularly refused to prescribe anything even remotely useful. Marvellous. I'm glad I pay for this extra-special private health care. The demands keep coming. The problems keep surfacing. I think if I survive the next three weeks - when the cause of this stress is finally put (successfully, hopefully) to rest - I shall take a very long holiday. Perhaps Mauritius. Or maybe Hawaii.

      Hang in there, buddy. You got lots of advice and some of it is probably good. I've got no advice, but I'm rooting for you.

            Stress is easy to deal with. Try dealing with never ending depression. Sometimes I wish I could just cease to exist, but I know thats not what I really want. If push comes to shove find some Xanax, it does wonders. Opiates are also wonderful, but its not a habit you want to get into thats for sure.

                  I personally think it would be excelant stress relief. At the very least it would take his mind off work

                            Thats an incorrect statement!! Selling gives the impression that you are getting something in return.

                                        God I'm stressed lately. I don't feel stressed in the throbbing veins at the temple high blood pressure sene, but I'm not sleeping well - a couple of hours a night at most - and what little sleep I get is filled with weird dreams. I'm also drinking far too much lately. Another clear sign that I'm stressed. If it wasn't for the sleepless nights, I probably wouldn't be drinking at all, but I'm in the unhappy situation where I need to be as sharp as possible for 18 hours a day, and 6 hours of alcohol assisted sleep is better than two hours of nonsense sleep. And yet more stress. This level of alcohol intake can't be good for me, certainly it isn't good for my now generally grumpy disposition. I went to see saw-bones the other day who recommended a life-style change, but singularly refused to prescribe anything even remotely useful. Marvellous. I'm glad I pay for this extra-special private health care. The demands keep coming. The problems keep surfacing. I think if I survive the next three weeks - when the cause of this stress is finally put (successfully, hopefully) to rest - I shall take a very long holiday. Perhaps Mauritius. Or maybe Hawaii.

                                        Reiki is good for releasing the tension but be warned - sometimes there is a lto to come out. Worth it though.
