Pain was bad in bed last night. Hard to fall asleep. Hot in the middle of the night. Double half Zanaflex at 6:15/6:45. Woke up 8:45. My bed is so painful in the early mornings. I wonder if that sets me back. There are no comfortable positions. Not feeling good this morning. But that’s been normal. I’m afraid the positive effects of the injection are gone. 5.5g 9:45. Long walk. Had to force myself to cook up this lunch. Glad I did of course. I am knackered right now. Need to go to grocery store. More exhausted than tired. Zapping the energy out of my tank to deal with the pain. Kind of ruined after going to 3 stores. Pain is bad, no energy. 2:00 and I can’t wait for the pm dose. I feel like if I try to walk, I will ruin myself. Ice pack, medium walk. Felt better walking. Feel wrecked at home. 6g at 3:15. I really wanted to take like 7. Yeah, this good streak is done. 3 days of relief from this injection. That tells me it’s both levels. Now I need RF ablation at both levels. Gonna be a rough stretch incoming. I need to keep eating well though. The air fryer can help carry me with nutrition. Pain is ramping up big time. Probably an 8 or 9. I have something in the tank to carry me for a bit. It will start affecting me much more as this goes on. I don’t want to go back to this shit. Thank fuck for the kratom. What a relief. Not quite enough though, but I think I’m sticking with this dose. Still kicking. 25 minutes on the bike. I know I’m jonesing for sugar. I had head rushes today. Long walk. Whew. I am spent. Glad I stuck with it for another day. Today was tough. Really feeling the pain in the upper lumbar area. I usually feel the lower stuff more.
