Dear friends, I have been sick for 6 weeks with Bronchitis and finally had to go on steroids to knock it out of my system. This has been the first week of very little coughing. We spent the month of Feb in the Carribbean and Florida. My back was in so much pain that I did not enjoy the vacation. In March I was diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis in the L3 L4 and L5 and S1 region of my low back. I am in water therapy to help strengthen the muscles. I have become very depressed and could use your prayers. I started reading what is going on in your lives and I know that things will get better soon. I actually saw my birthday post and want to say thanks for all the birthday wishes. We were on the cruise ship that day.

Hi read180, Sorry to hear that you have been unwell with Bronchitis & Lower Back Pain, hope that you are on the mend. I too can relate with you, having just gotten over Pharyngitis myself & having to go onto Antibiotics to clear it up. I also have severe lower L5 back pain, so I feel for anyone that suffers like I do. Some days are good & others I do not even have to move & my back gives out. I have not tried water Therapy for my back, I may ask my Doctor to give me a referral so I can give it a try. I hope that you had a wonderful Birthday & that you had a great Holiday. Sending you my love Lorraine McNeill of Woodcroft South Australia

Dear Cindy, I'm so sorry you have been in so much discomfort and that you didn't get to enjoy your wonderful holiday in Florida and the Caribbean. Your back pain must be driving you nuts, I do hope that the Hydrotherapy does it job. Good luck with getting back to good health. Love Chris

I am so sorry you have been so sick and in so much pain. It is a miserable existence. I'm glad you are recouperating from the bronchitis and keep working on the back issues. I will not welcome you to the Chronic Back Pain Club. Those of us already in it wish it didn't exist. Let us know how your therapy is working.

I hope that you are doing better now. Just wanted to let you know that I had an issue with major pain and started eating three bananas a day. Started a protein smoothie once per day with a spoon of peanut butter. Both of those has helped me get back on my feet and walking again. I still have some pain, not near as bad. It may not help everyone but I'm sharing anyway. If you try it, let us know how it goes. Hugs!
