so apparently i have localized muscle spasms in my back.
the bad news: they hurt like a little mini-explosion in my shoulder blade.
i-forget-to-breathe kind of hurting.
the good news: it's not terribly serious. it should go away in a few days.
also the doctor set me up with the good drugs.
i can take alleve as an anti-inflamatory and minor pain relief so that i can work and do things.
and then i've got hydrocodone for pain and a muscle relaxant so i can sleep.
i just can't take those and then drive.

the crazy news:
i got full perscriptions for TWO seriously strong pain drugs AND a card for my mother for mother's day for $13 - but my BIRTH CONTROL costs me $35 every month.
some world. it's no wonder the poor have so many babies.

I have to agree with you on birth control vs... Always staggers me to know that if I actually took the painkillers I have about at the rate they want me to, month on supply would be such a fraction of the bc cost.

I mean, I can get narcotics for five, but avoiding pregnancy is.... ?!?!?!

yeah and as a childless woman under 40, God forbit you try to get your tubes tied or a hysterectomy. because ya know, you might want them later and sue the doctors for letting you do that - even if it is a life-threatening situation for you to get pregnant.....grrrr.
