NO pain for the first time in 19 months. OMG!

those of you who know my story know I have a lower back injury from a fall down the stairs 19 months ago. I've had chronic pain ever since to the point that I can't lift my kids or do chores....

After reading up on rebound pain from opiate pain meds I decided to stop them and stick with nsaids. I'm just over a week off any narcotic pain meds and I woke up today with NO pain!

I didn't have a lidoderm patch on or anything in my system. no NSAIDS either..... I feel like it's a miracle, lol.  The only thing I have in my system is neurontin and yesterday I decided to go up to the dose my dr wants me to end up at which is 800mg (i'm on 300 currently) to see what happened.....

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
