Today sucks! No energy, up'd my meds and I feel like I'm gonna tip over or go into a somersault at any moment. Sitting here at work and realized I have done nothing all day, nothing!

 Back and shoulders are still on fire...when the holy heck does some relief come? When do I get some mercy? WHEN??

Have you got a spa wrap for wrapping up in? They are great for shoulder and back pain. I found mine at walmart.

I've never even heard of one! I'll google it right now.

They are a lot like a mini electric blanket but they heat up like a heating pad.

Well I ended up spending 6 hours yesterday really angry and hostile. Guess the up'd meds was a really bad idea. Waiting to hear what the next plan is.

im feeling you..i work too and sit at a desk, my shoulders and neck often ache sooo bad at end of the day...I bought a magnesium oil spray, as recommended on here a while back, it helps me for on the spot relief....doesn't last long, but every bit helps...just remember, it won't last and youll be due some good days soon :o)

I'm sorry to hear that. I work from home (which sounds luxurious, but... well). My issue is always sitting. I use my laptop - sit on the couch, sit at the table, lay back in bed... I can never BE anywhere for very long. This week I have a pain in my tailbone.

I bet that spa wrap thing would help your neck/shoulders a lot! Do you work at a place where you could use that there, or do you have to be "professional"? ;)

There are always off-days. They are so very hard after first diagnosis, because you have to spend a lot of emotional and physical energy, energy you do not have, figuring out the problem!!

Learning how to pace yourself and take a moment to breathe and check in really helps.
