Very cool shots of the Blue Moon....taken by a friend's sister, in Colorado....Taken about a 30 min drive away from Aurora...

 

Some folks just have more time on their hands than others.

 

Not sure what your metabolism can handle, but pain usually creates more adrenaline....I take a couple excedrin, a couple naproxen (advil), and see where it goes from there...I have tired methadone (Dr. prescribed, by VA, and even Morphine) I don't recommend them! I don't get "hooked" I get violently ill at first then have the end results from them: ( get the rubber gloves and lube out) God, I hate drugs!
But some work, then you build up a resistance and have to move to another....Some people use OC or the store brand creams that contain it, and it works on Arthritis and some others....
I used to use the cream that the more you put on, the hotter it gets, until it no longer worked....."something" 'gesic......Not cheap but it worked.
For a few years I was on Soma ( carisoprodol) and it worked like percodan to me...15 minutes and no more pain, for awhile....Today I take OTC meds only. Send me some info...? I have crushed sciatica in both hips.... (Dr.'s say it was from childhood) Both nerves moved into my hip sockets and every move my legs make, is a new dimension in pain for me to explore....(fire, crawling ants syndrome, and bolts of electronic shocks)
I went from upright, working 12 hours a day to flat on the floor. Then it was the "sticks" as I call them, like was seen from the days of polio...
Then, it was a walker, you know the kind with a tennis balls so it would slide? even had to shower in a special chair....
Then, it was a wheel chair. After wearing one out, and they delivered another, I said NO!
I got up, and I screamed, and I yelled and I cried and I eventually just walked away. I am in pain today, and have decided I have too live with it...If I fall down then someone has to pick me up, once in a while.
My pain will never end, will only get worse, as age and gravity takes it's toll. I think you can find a combination, that will help alleviate the pain, and not have to be a narcotic. But then I'm not a doctor by any means of the imagination! I wish you well and good luck!

 

Has anyone ever gone back and read ALL of this? Just curious....

 

What is the deal with gun shows? Does everyone think their stuff is one in a million? I can't believe the prices some people place on firearms.

 

Tried that once upon a time.....
Guess that's one of the many things wrong with me today!

 

I am not sure if it is arthritis or what, but since that day they have not bothered me at all. It comes and goes like that, I may not have any trouble for five or six months then WHAM!

 

Bar in New Orleans....Pardi Gras was last weekend...

 

I love it!
