Nobe I always was addicted to carbs (I am Hope and I am a recovering carboholic...) but I used my DD's birth as an excuse to split entire choclate chip cakes with DH on a regular basis when she was a baby and I was nursing. (was he nursing too? I ask you) I started cutting carbs when she was 3... and have been battling them ever since. Stubborn buggers.

well... not really. I went for my check up with my PCP (Primary Care Physician... not PCP the drug) on my blood work. I told him the situation about my back since he really didn't know about it. He prescribed Methylprednisolone (how you pronounce it, I have no clue. I could just say that I'm on "Meth" and amphetamine (my adderall), just can't say that too fast and have it come out like methamphetamine ) It turns out it's a steroid. I can already see my skin starting to turn green and baby Huey's shirt is starting to rip. I'm going to be a MONSTER before this week is up!!!

methylprednisolone otherwise known as a a medrol dose pak. You start out with like 7 pills the first day and then it decreases every day. It hits you with a high dose of steroids for the anti-inflammatory properties and then tapers off. It can be very effective in the acute phases of back/disc issues (actually many musculoskeletal issues/injuries) . I was put on one back in November and it took my pain from a 7 continuous to a 2-3. Hope it works for you.
