Thanks to Paula for being the inspiration for my title of this blog (ha ha) I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I was having back problems. Well, they were getting better, my chiro was helping, and I was on my way to being 'normal' again without being in any pain.
Well, Wednesday morning I woke up in excruciating pain for some unknown reason (and I do not even move in my sleep, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't some weird flailing about I did in my dreams). I went to my primary care dr. that afternoon, who basically told me I had bad luck, gave me a 500mg prescription of Naproxin, and a few samples of Soma muscle relaxers. The result? Nothing. Nothing has helped. I can't walk straight, I can't stand up straight, it hurts to sit, stand, crawl, stretch, cough, sneeze, and even laugh. This is as straight as I stand - seriously.
I went to a new chiro yesterday and he said he sees this all the time and that I will get better. Um...when? I felt a little better when I left there yesterday but nothing huge. And as the night progressed, it got continually worse. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but this just doesn't seem to be anything that I can kick right now. So that's it from me, your crippled friend.

you may be crooked, but atleast you still look cute (c:
I'm so sorry! I can't believe you're in all that pain and still look so gorgeous. How did you even manage to get dressed???
Poor Shannie Claus! I'm so sorry. That is so weird, I hope someone can tell you what is up SOON! Get better! And congrats to Ryan, I'm so excited for him.
Poor, poor Shanna! I am so sorry to hear about your back issues! I sure hope you start to feel better soon!
I'm not normally one for chiropracty (is that a word?), but when I was on the campaign trail, I met an amazing chiropractor in Iowa that used the "Activator Method". He had told me about it, and then I watched him do a full evaluation and session with one of my coworkers. It was fascinating.

I could go on for longer, but don't want to take up too much space. Shoot me an email if you want more info. I'll tell you about it.
Either way, I hope you are 100% again soon. You never know how much you use your back until there's a problem.
