Ya know, maybe I'll ask the pain doc about home ultrasound at my next visit in October. Or maybe just PT ultrasound, for a start. My only problem with ultrasound at the PT office is that my pain is usually worst after I get off work at midnight...most all PTs are closed then. ohwell (darn the luck--LOL) Maybe that would be a plus for 'home ultrasound'.

It's been a little better this week since I've not been at work. Part of my reasoning for staying home was to take care of DH: helping with meals, etc, along with keeping him calmer and emotionally more stable. Part of it was to rest myself because I was so sore from working while off all my meds. It has helped.

And yes, stress is probably doing bad stuff to me. On the good side, DH is MUCH better today (24 hrs after last treatment), both calmer and happier. But exhausted, too.
