Hello Betty and Welcome Welcome Welcome

I am also a forum jumper. I started here and recently had to start going to the Diabetes forum.  Just diagnosed 3 weeks ago with Type 2...

We are glad to have you, but not glad you have pain... You mentioned that the pain med combo isn't working for you....Could you elaborate?  What are you taking? I also have DDD, Spinal Stenosis,and other things.  I have had 2 back surgeries, one of them was spinal fusion (I wish I had waited on that one).

There are so many great people here that can give you some very good advice or just listen when you need to talk or vent.. We all vent..

So, I look forward to talking to you..

Me.

Let me also extend a very warm Welcome to you, this forum is the best!  The people here are the most caring and compassionate folks I think I have ever met! I honestly don't think you will ever regret coming here! I do wish that you did not have a reason to visit here, I wish that for everyone that comes here,  but I am happy that you found us!

 I  was going to tell you that I am from Illinois and we also have weather with 4 seasons in one day, plus a bankrupt state with a history of crooked governors.  But with you being from Michigan ( I have many cousins that live there) I am sure  you know all about living in a state with problems!
