I just could not beleive how much of a blue funk I have been in. It is the pain and it is so loud I cannot see, feel or hear anything but. It snuck up on me. I am trying to be a good patient. I try to follow orders. I have been great since May of 1999. But now it is almost 2008...that is 9 ^^%&^^*^&^%&^$$*&5 years !!!!!
So the Lyrica that I was hoping would help I had over-ridden again. I was in so much pain I was up over 48 hours, I could not sleep. I wrapped all the presents and organized and tried to find something on the TV. I sat down and did a great deal of reading, I dare say as much reading as I could on Lyrica and through that I decided that if 450 mg were good, 900mg would be better. This drug has a 6 hour half life and so you have to have enough and overlapping to get the effect that you are searcing for. My Doctor is going to flip as he only has one other patient on the drug and she is still at 225mg per day.
The point is I need to be normal, I do not want the interuption of pain and I am tired of being patted on the head and told that there is notheing more they can do.
So I am going to make an appointment with the pharmasist to talk to him and get his spin on things. He know them, gives them to me and controls the amount that I get. I want to spend some time with the gatekeeper and hear his/her wisdom.
Christmas is soon here, and my husband and youngest child have the whole holiday off. I a thrilled that this perk is his.
The snow is pileing up and the house is almost ready. Just some baking to do.
God Bless Us Everyone!
