Woke up at 7:15. Managed to go to 9:00 and took 6g. I tried wearing the new brace this morning on the couch and I think that hurt the lower part. Haven’t iced yet, but I will soon. Did the table first thing this morning, but it didn’t do much. I’ll try it again in a few minutes and get the ice pack. I think that will sort me out for now. Yes. Swinging provided some relief, hanging a touch more. The ice pack is finishing it off. Been taking Vit D a lot too. No idea if that is actually helping, but I’m going to stick with it. Boy, I felt nothing from the meds until I just did the table and ice pack. Now the serotonin is going. Been pretty rough since about noon. Pain is bad, but barely manageable. I’m missing that extra half gram this morning. I’ll still try 7 this pm. Not sure that I can continue the taper like this. I need some sore of improvement or relief. I’m only getting a tiny bit today – which is why it’s barely manageable. Waking up early didn’t help anything. 7g at 3:05. No effect and the pain is quite bad. Nearing panic mode. +.5g. I’m not sure that’s going to be enough. Setting myself up for a shit night. Whatever worked yesterday is not working today. It did in the morning, but that faded as soon as I put that brace on and I haven’t been able to get it back. I felt like I overdid the table last night. Maybe this is the after effect. Maybe I overdid it today. I can’t feel the relief today anywhere near like yesterday. Better after the re-dose. That lower pain has been really bad lately. It gets worse from the table. Damned if I do, damned if I don’t sort of thing. Always a rock and a hard place. No way out, no where to go. Church walk. Very slow. Very tired all day. Couldn’t catch a nap. Tomorrow will be better (if I sleep.)
