Good to see she has some new posts up. <br /><br />Serendipity strikes again. I think about Kathy everytime I brew me the coffee she turned me on to.

I do try to find humor...Hi Mushroom and thank you!<br /><br />I do try to find humor even when I'm at my most cynical, jaded or depressed.<br />Even if I don't feel like laughing I can use about it later when I'm more receptive to it. <br />At least that's my working theory behind it.<br /><br />Sure, it may sound like crazy laughter. Perhaps slightly maniacal to some (but not Joker maniacal).<br /><br />I forgot to mention, one thing I have tried that may work for your wife and son is the feet in iced water for a half hour or so. <br />It does help more often than not for temporary relief (doesn't work for the other symptoms and obviously can't be done when one must be mobile or needs to be at school, work, etc., but hopefully will help). <br /><br />Best narcotic I ever took was oxycontin. Unfortunately, the VA and military only give that to you when your dying (or expected to die).<br /><br />Too habit forming "they" say. My doc disagrees but he has to follow the rules written by some damn bureaucrat who can't find his ass with both hands and his head up it.<br /><br />Some idiot od's or abuses it and ruins it for everyone else. <br />They don't make exceptions for those of us who never have abused narcotics.<br />It's like gun control except with pills. <br />Only the criminals get them. <br /><br />In ten years they'll probably do the same for OTC pain relievers.<br /><br />Say, my list of those I would wish this on has just gotten longer, lol.USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127590045913020385.post-35841148258233782912011-10-29T10:25:19.085-07:002011-10-29T10:25:19.085-07:00Ben!

When it flares up, it is unbearable. The narcotic-type drugs are about the only way they can get any relief.<br /><br />It is rough.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.com
