The prescription was written with a taper. 4 days of 3 pills, 4 days of 2, and 4 days of 1. So, I guess I will be a good girl and take as prescribed. I'll enjoy my pain-free neck while it lasts!Originally Posted by Running Mommy

Yep, definitely do the taper thing. But then go back and tell this to your doctor - maybe you can get a local cortisone shot for your neck to help with inflammation? Originally Posted by Susan Otcenas

I used to keep bees. Until I developed an allergy. First big allergy reaction was when I got stung through the beehat veil -- right in the middle of my upper lip. It swoll up to the point of my having trouble breathing. Goose egg size, or maybe even baseball (not softball, though, luckily). I looked like a cross between Daffy Duck and Mick Jagger. I thought it was to save me embarrassment that the ER staff let me right in with no wait, but there could also have been good medical reasons for that. They REALLY turned sympathetic when I filled out the patient card. It was my birthday. And I was alone -- DH in India, daughter in the mountains, in-laws possibly dropping in expecting cake.
Now I keep an adrenalin injection kit with me when biking. Thanks for reminding me why. Sorry for your pain, though!Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

A bee stung my
Last week a bee bite me on my thigh through my shorts while going down a long descent with many cut backs. I couldn't look down or swat it away. I just grinned and beared it till at the bottom of the mountain.
