I did it! I'm so proud of myself

I saw a PM doctor today and I struggled to not get drugs from him. I even asked about getting some soma but then I changed my mind! I walked out of that office so full of pride. I didn't score drugs and I am ok with that.

I am scheduled to have the epideral steriod injection on friday. I really hope it helps with my back pain.

as long as the pills are dancing around in your head and not down your throat you are doing good.  leaving the dr's office with no pills is is positively a huge accomplishment and i am proud of you,  keep it up..you got this.

Well, I was way excited for a few hours, then the kids started their nightly "right before dinner time" meltdown and I had visions of pills dancing in my head. At least I don't have them here.

I hope the shots help you, my wife had good luck with them but I didn't. I have had much better luck with apuncture. Anyway, it's great that you turned down the drugs.

Hey, good for you!  See you are much stronger than you imagined aren't you?  Good luck on your steroid injection.  I had one around a month ago, and it's no big.

Way to go,
Lisa
