Dame - Do you have disc problems or is it muscular?
Vicodin is very effective (and addictive) and also must be taken with lots of water.
I think it is muscular. Iwonder if Vicodin is upsetting my stomach.

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Vicodin.
More common side effects may include:
Dizziness, light-headedness, nausea, sedation, vomiting
If these side effects occur, it may help if you lie down after taking the medication.
Less common or rare side effects may include:
Allergic reactions, anxiety, blood disorders, constipation, decreased mental and physical capability, difficulty urinating, drowsiness, fear, hearing loss, itching, mental clouding, mood changes, restlessness, skin rash, slowed breathing, sluggishness
Hmm. Wll I took it last night and my stomach is now like possessed. Ithas been suggested to me to switch to percespt. Which I do have in my posession but I hate playing doctor with myself.

Beave! I'm such a dork! I was so busy trying to imagine anything prettier than roses on my piano that I didn't even 'get' the punch line. At first. Then I laughed out loud (and groaned). On a conference call that wasn't funny... oops!
Dame, can you try something other than medication? Have you been taking the meds with food?
WEll, I guess I better get in line if someone is passing out the percodin and vicodin! Is there a martini chaser to go with that?!
coating your stomach with milk might help too....

Dame - I hope that you feel better.
Addy - I guess we will have to skip the job switch since you are refusing to train on Saturday.
All the champagne on the various threads today - off to the store and them home.
Sorry, brdlwyr. I've been working too many weekends lately. I have plans for Saturday that I don't want to break.
Yum. Champagne. I think, perhaps, yes.
Wow! That's alot of bubbly for a Tuesday night.
But, perhaps, yes.
That's a good start...
I'm in more of a... warm coffee-ey kind'a drink tonight... kahlua & something... I'm not sure.
I'm having water. And white chocolate.
I think it's time to switch to something more bubbly than water.
I had some tequila - and it is NOT kicking in, dammit! But if I drink alone...well, we all know what that means.
Addy and brdwylyr;
I just came back from the doc. Scott came home early and took me. He did prescribe the percepts as needed... but wants me to get scanned tomorrow. he thinks it is a bad pinched nerve. I am really in alot of pain. I am now perked up in bed with two pillows, my laptop, the remote, and the phone. Scott went to pick up some take out and my assistant is going to bring me my work home tomorrow.
Aww. DAME, I'm sorry - so many of my friends have slipped discs and pinched nerves - I hope yours gets better!
