This is about as tired as I've been in a long time

Tylenol 3 makes the pain go away (at least until I try to walk where I survive about one minute before buckling over), but man, it makes me tired as hell.

The last time I was this tired I had run and hiked 35 miles (yes, in one day) up in the Steens Mountains. But all I've been doing is laying down, and I'm tired as hell. How sad is that?

I've got an appointment to see a back specialist in a couple days to figure out what the hell's wrong. We'll see how that goes.

Expect slower blogging over the next few days. I've got about 300 entries/links to post, but have been too tired and uncomfortable to do anything. I've been working from home, but it's been slow going, to say the least, as it's hard to get comfortable when your back is out of whack. It's not even my back that hurts, but my left leg, but I know it's my back that's causing it (damn sciatic nerve).

T3 makes you tired because it's a narcotic. (codeine & Tylenol- you should know that if you're taking it?!)

Try an anti-inflammatory like Aleve or Ibuprofen, if you haven't already. A spine specialist is likely to give you a scrip for an antiinflammatory like vioxx or Ultram or something before any narcotics unless you have some sort of GI problem.

Yes, I know it's the T3 that's making me tired, and I'm probably going to stop taking it and going back to my anti-inflammatory regimen. The T3 does make things feel better, but makes me far too woozy to function.

Been there done that... thankfully now I'm (almost) fine, but there was a time when getting out of bed in the morning and staying awake for until around 2 was a huge chore.

Like they say, you never appreciate health until you've been sick.

sciatic nerve...ugh...what a bummer. My dad had problems with his, the doc wanted to cut it. He almost went for it, but tried a chiropracter...magic, the problem went (mostly or more) away.
