I only wish!, Dads50. This is from a 35# block that fell on my head back in '09 at work, which ended my career as an Ironworker. Not only headaches, but neck, mid and lower back pain, and a shoulder surgery, to boot. As much as I hate taking these pills, they let me live a "normal" (almost) life, so until something better comes along, looks like this is my life. This is also why I, with the help of "Mother's Little Helpers", still work out and run 4 miles every other day (as I've done since I was 14), which really helps a lot with my irritability and lowers my level of pain some. Have to take 2 or 3 painkillers to accomplish this, but, it's worth it to me. It actually makes me feel better. After the injury in 2009, and 9 months of work comp doing very little, I retired at 51 on disability. Some friends ask me how I can do the PT and run if I'm 'disabled', and all I can say to them is, "I'd hate for people to have to be around me if I didn't". It just means I have to stop doing things earlier than before, my sleep patterns are crazy and after a day of 'working' on anything, it takes a day or two to recover. But at least I'm still alive and not paralyzed, which is what the doctors all say I should be right now. Thanks for your good advice, though. I appreciate that! Lee
