Burning

Jan 14, 2011 02:16

The burning is incredible. I went to bed at 9PM to get some semblance of sleep but had to finally wake up and sit in here. Sitting is not so bad as lying down ( Read more... )

Bloody hell. That's awful! :(

I'm so sorry that you're in so much pain, and I hope the surgery is successful!

I've been taking my pain meds sparingly because they cause me to be drowsy and I can't be nodding off during lessons. Today I'll try taking them every 4 hrs as I should be.

I hope that works! :(

Sucks majorly, I know.

theoldcatlady January 17 2011, 07:42:43 UTC

LOL! Maple syrup is goood, and tastes good in oatmeal.

Oh honey, I hope the surgery goes ok and that it HELPS. You're owed one HUGE karmic return of happy after all this hell.

*HUGS* I thought about you guys this morning before I read your post since it's so cold. I hope you're all keeping warm. Let me know if you need more stuff, ok?

missdiane January 14 2011, 14:00:21 UTC

It also stinks that typing is hard for you, since I'd certainly be willing to rp to keep you occupied if there were forums to do so ;)

theoldcatlady January 14 2011, 14:42:05 UTC

Yes, we're managing to keep warm, house is set to 60'. Cold wreaks havoc with arthritis and muscle spasms.

We're good on stuff, thanks for asking. :-)

Yeah, some rp would be fun.

missdiane January 14 2011, 14:44:15 UTC

Set to 60? Brr! And to think I was a whiner this morning when I woke up to my bedroom being 61! :(

I've also been trying to think of some fanfic to write but I don't know if it would be HP - maybe I should get back to that Star Wars one I've had on the shelf a few years.

Sheri, this is horrific! Mum was put on lyrica http://www.lyrica.com/ which is supposedly good for nerve pain.

theoldcatlady January 17 2011, 07:41:38 UTC

It's available here too. I'll definitely ask my neuro about it. How's your mom doing with it? Is it helping?

leelastarsky January 17 2011, 09:03:44 UTC

It made a WORLD of difference for her. She slept more than normal at first, and went 'away with the fairies' a couple of times, but is now on a lower dose and you wouldn't know. Except that her pain is MUCH less. :~)

Sadly, Lyrica's not covered by the govt. and costs a small fortune here: $89 a packet! She gets $40 back through her medical insurance at least, but it's quite a slug to the hip pocket. (most of mum's doctor-prescribed pharmaceuticals are covered by the govt., so she only pays $5 per script.)

I hope your insurance covers it cos it sounds like it'd be perfect for your pain!

With our new ins. plan, the most we'll pay is $20, so that's not too bad.
