I buy 2-3 at a time - just in case I burn one up or roll one over (klutz). My
Ex thinks I'm crazy and/or that I'm just trying to annoy him. I <3 my hair
dryer!

I've done the hair dryer thing too,....many, many times. I've also sat in my
van with the heater cranked for hours.

To state the obvious: It's easy to say don't take meds when you are not the
one suffering. We have cold sweats, clammy and miserable, not heat sweat like a
runner might have. We freeze and then start tightening our neck and shoulders
into a knot of pain that further increases the misery. I can't count the days I
have sat with a hair dryer blowing on my face and neck. It really angers me
when
doctors say the equivalent of "Take an aspirin and call me in the morning."
Quality of life means something, and a life of constant misery is not one of
quality. Sorry for the rant.

Wow, she must be the wisest person alive to know something like that. Of
course, many of us would rather take Aleve than narcotics. Hell, one or two of
us would even consider going without pain for a few days. To make such a pat
statement without at least discussing the increase in pain and how it is
effecting your life is irresponsible.
