I had about 12 good hours
Well, there was no pain today until now. I made it from about midnight last night to just after 12pm Pacific Time today without pain.
I’ve popped a Darvocet, cuz now I’m officially out of Tylenol 3, and all I can do is wait for it to kick in. Hopefully it won’t take an hour to kick in again like it did on Sunday.
I was just getting ramped up on my work today, too.
All I can do is move location, get to bed with the laptop, and continue on from there until the pain is too much or I pass out from the medication. Just keep plugging along, fighting as I do.
What’s weird is all the energy I had yesterday after acupuncture made it really hard to get to sleep. And I still have the energy. In fact, my leg is still bouncing despite the pain, and I’ve been drinking chamomile tea to calm down. All morning I feel like I’m on speed or something, and I’ve not had any medication since about 9:30pm last night (well, until now when I just popped the darvocet).
I wish I understood things better. I wish I had x-ray vision into my own body at all times to carefully monitor my bod and outside effects upon it.
..I’m on the couch now with heating pad and laptop. The pain has me shaking and clenching my teeth. This period seems much more sharp pain-like than the last two. I can’t explain the difference - there’s my ‘usual’ pain but this is downright murderous and happens only once in awhile. GAH. Getting nauseated now, hope I don’t puke the medication. :(
