Pretty weird sleep. It felt like I was waking up every 3 minutes, but I was looking at the clock and 20 minutes went by. Normally I only sleep for 5-10 minutes at a time. I didn’t realize I was sleeping because I didn’t have any dreams. When you sleep for 5 minutes, having a dream is the only way to know you were actually sleeping. It got better as the night went on. Pain was pretty high at the end of the night. Probably from that walk. I can’t seem to overcome this higher pain level that started on Christmas day. I think today is starting off OK, but I certainly don’t have any motivation to do anything. Especially when I know it will probably ruin my day with increased pain. Went to Walmart and had pretty much the same response as last time. Felt like I was going to collapse. Had a lot of weakness in my legs, especially the left. Had ice pack on the whole time. Last time I passed out when I got home. This time I ate lunch and chilled out and I think I’ve stabilized. It felt like the pain and fibro were flaring up in a big way. 6:30 now and those nasty side effects are easing up right now. I feel like they have been getting worse since I increased the Lyrica dose. The interaction might be building up. The Lyrica isn’t working anyway, so it might be time to taper off that anyway. Today is 2 weeks. I’ll give it another 2 or 3 days at most. I don’t like being on meds that don’t work. Especially if there’s a combination that isn’t working. Actually, only 20 minutes later and the pain and fibro is starting to skyrocket. Starting to feel panicky. On the couch the rest of the night. Not a good day in any way. At least I didn’t pass out today. Need to get to sleep at a decent hour today – procedure is tomorrow morning at 9. Please let this give me some relief! Because I need it, and I need the confidence that we’re in the right spot. The previous times, I got 3 days relief from the injections. Let’s see how this one goes. It HAS to work. If it doesn’t, I will be so completely fucked.
