Bad sleep. Half zanny, ibu, lipo c at 6:45. Wake up 8. Just took 6g at 9:45. I feel like last night’s near crisis was because of too fast of a drop in dosage. I was hesitant to drop this morning, but I desperately need to reduce the meds. I need to get under 6/7. We’ll see how the 7g hits me this pm. If I barely get by again like last night, then we pause. If it’s OK, then we drop the pm dose tomorrow. PM drops are always easier than am. Did table this morning. Couldn’t do much, but it was OK. My morning routine is: vit d, magnesium, samE, ice pack. Then table and mag oil, then rest. That’s sort of the ideal start. Today I did the table earlier than normal and an ice pack. Just did table again and shower. I felt relief on the table, and I spent more time on it than I probably should have. Lower lumbar was pretty painful. Put a ton of icy hot on it and it’s feeling decent now. I’m trying to be super aware of that fine line where I overdo it. But of course I need to push it a little bit to get that stretch in the upper lumbar part. Church walk. definitely hurting at the end. I resisted going earlier. Glad I’m limiting these walks. I still don’t know why I can’t walk anymore. In the past I would have been zooming for miles when I got some relief. Held out OK. most of the day. 2:30 now, been gaming. Back hurting. Ready for meds. 1 hour to go. Tried lipo c in the pm, just to see if anything happens. I didn’t notice anything. It didn’t seem to make the wait any easier. I did the table and mag oil. Felt OK. 7g at 3:30. Short walk. Had a bit of trouble before half way, but slowing down helped. Short walk with ice pack. Much easier than earlier. Ice pack helped a lot. Lots of pain at night though. Although I kind of feel at 9:30 where I felt yesterday at like 7. It would be nice to gain tolerance. No more table until maybe at bed time. Easy does it.
