It was another beautiful day in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, so I took a walk a couple of hours ago. The usual four or five blocks. The little temperature icon on my desktop now says 61 degrees and I just went out to bring in the mail.
The air out in the open is cool and fresh, it's like the first day of Spring. A couple of our windows are open, so the fresh air is flowing into the house.
It feels like the first day of summer vacation.
I don't know why I feel that good.
Now that I've set the mood, I can admit that I wasn't able to stay off Skelaxin more than maybe a week and a half. Sad but true. Headaches and neck cramps finally got to me.
It's really not amazing how discomfort and pain wears on me after a while.
I started taking half pills, and eventually graduated to whole pills. It was a real relief.
Sometimes, I don't feel great even if I do take the pills.
I should see my neurologist the afternoon of February 23rd, maybe I could see if there is a stronger muscle relaxant for the really bad times when even the Skelaxin does not stop the pain. It's probably not appropriate to take the serious pain pills I have.
