Day 25

[tooter212]

Yesterday wasssss so bad. If I had had some hydrocodone I would have taken it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pain was so bad. I went to bed at 8pm took an Ambien10mg went to sleep about 8:30. Woke up at 11:30, took 2 tyl pm's, went back to sleep at about 3;30. Got up at 6am. Feel a lot better. Not near as depressed!!!!!!!! Praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I think the Altril (sp) helped in making me depressed. It being day 25, could that have something to do with it?

Congrats Tooter!  I think we will all have good days and bad days with some being really bad days.  We have to give our bodies and brains time to heal.

Asperins with food help with the pain and inflammation quite a lot..

Congratulations on 25 Days Tooter! I am on 42 days... over a month and a half.. Going on 2 months soon!! Time keeps passing. The pain does get better.. I can tell you that! It's the energy that bothers me.. No energy to do anything.. I have to literally force myself to do the smallest things.. I am just trying to get by biding my time. I stopped taking 2 alteril and just take one now.. My friend and my son got shots into their spines for the pain and they say it took the pain away. I'm scared to do that.. but, I have to say, the pain is much better now!! The pain was unbearable for such a long time.. and while taking the pills , the pain was a total nightmare.. So, hang in there...

Kat, with God's help I won't go back. I had the injections in my feet and some in my back about a week ago. I go back to get the rest in my back the 18th. Hope yours work for you. I pray you have a great day. God Bless

Hi Tooter... I'm so sorry to hear you are still struggling with pain and sleep. I am on day 28 today and I am struggling still also. Like I've said before, the vet prescribed my poor baby Chihuahua, a huge bottle of Hydrocodone 5 mg cough syrup, just sitting there on my kitchen counter. God how many times have I walked by it and just wanted to drink the whole thing down. But I don't. I know what you are going through Tooter. Believe me, I do. I am still having trouble sleeping, and waking up in the middle of the night and in the early hours of morning with massive headaches!! God, it's the pits. But you mentioned you are taking Ambien for sleep. Maybe you should ask your Dr. for the Ambien that is controlled release that releases the Ambien in doses all through the night. Ambien doesn't help me unless it the slow release I mentioned. Maybe that could help you get through the whole night. Also, my back pain is coming back with a vengeance. I have an apt. at the pain clinic on the 21st I think. So I think they are going to start giving me injections in my back. No pills. We have come too far to stop now Tooter. Let me know how you are ok? Hang in there!! You can do this!  Please don't start up on those pills again...God Bless you...Kat
