pain is odd. if we took these things without being in pain they would either kill us or make us go to sleep. that is what i say about my meds,,,they allow me to function,without them i cannot.

How long did it take you to get to that amount and can you tell a big difference with the bigger number?

I do so much better in the heat (actually always have - even before TM) and the "North Bay Area" has been unseasonably cooler this whole summer. We've been shrouded in fog nearly every morning with the sun not burning through 'til noon or after. And anyone who's familiar with our coastline knows that fog is colder than any cloudy day... it bites right through you! Re: meds... I'm on Neurontin (900mg 4x/day) and Hydrocodone APAP 7.5 - 325 (1-2 tabs every 4-6 hrs). It allows me to function pretty well... I can take care of my daily needs, drive myself (have even driven my teens to sports meets that were 2+ hours away), run errands and/or shop, and do minor household chores. I do have trouble standing in one spot for any period of time for such things as washing dishes or prepping dinner (of course, this has always bothered me somewhat due to my scoliosis and fused spine).

I am FREEZING! July was the coolest month since I'm not sure when, but I know it's been a long time. Speaking of meds., I only take Neurontin for the pain. I know Frank doesn't think much of it, but I don't want to take Lyrica and Neurontin helps a little. Bundled up in Marin County
