22. Today are my last 2 pills...

Oct 25

I can walk and drive (barely).

There is residual dull pain in my back, but the bad pain has moved to the front of my right thigh...pelvic area.

This is leading me to believe that it's nerve pain.

I get this once or twice a year, and it always heals in this manner. Every episode gets progressively worse.

I had to beg for the Prednisone because of the diabetes. I can't stay on it for more than 5 days, because it shoots your glucose up and basically renders insulin shots useless.

If today's dosage does not knock this out completely, I'm probably in trouble.

Thank you for asking electric_blue68. I hope you are well!
