Have you tried a chiropractor? Lots of times visits are covered by insurance. One fixed my longstanding neck issue in one visit years ago. They don't use meds, so they are pretty safe.

I had a twinging, spasmic back a year or so ago and bought one those personal 'tens' electrode thing. You stick two (some have four) pads on the area and control the pulses. It was the only thing that both aleaviated the pain and calmed the twinging. They're around $30 dollars and up.

I've been dealing with back/neck pain for 3 weeks now. Doctor did nothing, Advil and Aleve do nothing. I'm going crazy with this pain level.

For the record,

and I are about 2,000 miles away, so there is no way I am the pain in her neck.

Just got a new (used) car. Almost $500 per month for my car insurance.
Sure I'm under 25, but still, I have a clean record. I know Ontario has the highest insurance of any province, but can't help but feel like I'm being robbed. |
Maybe this is the wrong thread to post this in, but I don't know where else to post just how heartbroken I am feeling. My beautiful little bird of seven years is almost gone. He is gravely ill. I am sitting with him right now, comforting him. He is just a tiny little bird, a society finch, one I acquired long before I was vegan. I will never have a caged bird again. He is my last little bird. And he is old and now he is dying.
He kept me company every single day for years. He would always look at me when I talked to him about my day, or when I was trying on a million clothes in front of my bedroom mirror and never happy with my body. He would look at me and smile with that little twinkle he did with his eyes and show interest in what I was going to try on next. I bring him to every room I am spending substantial time in, bring his cage in there so I can be with him. He saw me through three intense years of school and studying. Saw me through my job interview, my certification exam, my recovery from a terrible relapse into ED. Always he was there to listen. I brought him outside too, many many times, and all the tiny neighborhood birds...black capped chickadees, warblers, goldfinches, hummingbirds, chipping sparrows...would fly up to his cage and stare at him for the longest time, curious about this little critter who was the same size as them but so different, and maybe a threat to them. He would stand his ground and defend his turf. My beautiful little bird. I never had a name for him other than little bird. I just could never find one suitable. He outlived his mates, and he is my last little birdie. He never asked for much. He loves grass, loved dandelion leaves and lettuces, especially right from outside or in the garden. His mate used to build nests with the dried grass I would give them, but my little birdie doesn't do that now. But he would fly up to the edge of the cage when I would stick grass through the bars and he would take it from m y hand. My beautiful little bird. A little bit of my is dying with him. But soon he will be free forever. It's funny, because when my dog Sable and my husband were not around, I would open his cage and let him come out and fly around, but he never seemed interested in coming out. Even when his mate was around, they didn't come out much. He liked to sit in front of his mirror though, and sometimes inside his wooden box my husband made for him. So I sit here and cry and and feel so helpless for my beautiful little bird. Life is hard enough and I feel so lonely and I just want his pain to stop but I want him to stay around just a little longer. Just a little longer.... |
