I hope you are doing alright. Falling is never easy. I actually have to use a cane to walk with because I am so off balance. It has helped more than not using it. Take it easy and get some rest. You need time to recover as much as possible. Brandy

I take flexteril when I need it. It helps enough to where I can get a couple hours of sleep. I haven't slept a full night of sleep in years. You just have to learn to take it easy and sleep anytime you can. I always say take it one day at a time. I know that sounds cheesy but it works or me. I...

Does anyone know how to make this better?

It mainly happens on the lower part of my back. But today is has been happening on my wrist. It's so irritating.

Has anybody ever had a burning sensation on their skin? It's not all the time and it's not always in the same spot. It doesn't last long. It's just enough to irritate me. I don't know how to explain it. Thanks~ Brandy
