Need some uplifting.
on: May 20, 2016, 07:09:28 PM
Been swamped with mod orders yay! I'm having trouble getting my body to work fast enough and long enough. The pain is getting bad and the doc says I need more shots in my spine, different location now. I work in short bursts when I'm able too. Trying to get caught up somewhat but the more I work the worse it hurts. I'm getting there and the doc has me some meds to help but I don't like taking as many as they give want me too. I take enough to function and that's it. So you all have been like a extended family to me so I thought I'd share. Thanks
 Steven

Sorry to hear that buddy,I dread to think what your pain must be like,I was crippled a while back when I had a slipped disc and trapped nerve I could hardly walk.
But sounds like your problems are much worse.
Keep your chin up buddy I know how easy it is to get depressed with a painful debilitating problem.
My thoughts are with you buddy , stay strong

Sorry to hear you're in so much pain, and respect that you're still so dedicated to your mod work  :hatsoff:.

But make sure to listen to your body as well, I know that's an easy thing for me to say, but your health is still priority number one.  And if I would have ordered a mod from someone who's in as much pain as you are, I would insist on putting it off to a later date.

Know that we're here for you and we're always ready to listen.  My thoughts are with you my friend  :salute:.

Steve I'm sad to hear you are in so much pain.  I do hope there is some resolution for you.  Work with your doctors and with their program to help ease the pains. 

Clear communication with your customers is the best you can do and when you are feeling good to work then so be it.  Don't push yourself beyond your capacity brother.

The meds work best when taken as directed. If you don't like to take them because of the side effects, such as making you drowsy or sick to your stomach, then you need to talk to your doctor about trying a different drug.  I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for all the replies. I take my meds just not the full dose. The doc said that was fine to do that way as I know how I feel inside better than he does. I'm feeling better today and I look forward to getting even better.
