I was trying to just throw some of the treatments out on here and to give an overview of where I have been in the past with the beginning stages of how my treatments began and the reasons they started and how things have changed along the way. My problems first began in December 1998 when I was driving a city bus. I was on my way to the start of the line where my route started at 6:00am. I was making a right hand turn from a double yellow line lane where no passing is allowed turning onto the side road that was where I parked to begin my route. While making the turn I didn’t see any other traffic on the road and halfway through the I felt and heard a loud crash that almost through me out of my seat and because I had my seat belt on I was able to keep control of my bus and stop and got out of my seat to see that a dumpster carrying truck had hit me and he truck was pinned in next to a telephone pole which he had knocked halfway down trying to pass me on the right side of the bus which I could tell that he was trying to pass me before I completed my turn. He thought he was going to be able pass me on the wrong side of the street for one thing. He was still trying to start his truck and move it but he had pinned himself in by the phone pole. I have add more later .

@al4terry Welcome to Mayo Connect. That was quite a bad accident to have, can you tell us what the initial diagnosis and treatments were, and how they have modified over time? I find it educational to listen to what has worked for others.

Some days my pain is a tough thing to deal with, other days, not so much. Counting fibromyalgia and arthritis among my disorders, it seems humidity and weather have played a factor in comfort levels.
