Hi Deb, thanks for asking. No luck yet finding a job; it's seeming hard to find something where I don't have to drive too far, but Im sure something will come up soon. My health insurance issue was a fiasco, but I think it's now straightened out (I hope). I ended up having to buy Cobra for one lousy month (well so I was told it will only be available for a month) - and calling my insurer to stop my individual coverage from taking affect Feb 1st. They said they can start it March 1st instead. I just have a feeling something is going to get messed up with all this.
Other than that, I had my final caudal epidural this past Monday. So now that makes 3, so I'm done with those for a long time. They did help me alot and allowed me to walk around longer. The past few days, though, I got pain in a finger joint again, in my neck and left shoulder, and now I'm getting that strange feeling in my rear end again....like a deep bruise. Though it doesnt feel as bad as other times when i've not had a shot. I just feel like there is more going on than just herniations or scar tissue problems. I am dreading again when all the meRAB from my shots are out of my system b/c I know I always have terrible joint flares & other symptoms. That won't help in my job search, ughhh. The good thing is I am able to see my little neice more( 6 months old) and laugh with her, etc...so that helps my mood alot!
I'm thinking of you girlfriend.
