I just need to vent. I have not been feeling well for several weeks and can not wait to see my specialist tomorrow! He upped my Vicadin and Nortriptyline, but I am still having almost constant pain, basically 24/7. I started therapy for PFD, and am hurting alot from my session yesterday. And my pain is getting much worse at night! On top of that I got up 7 times last night to go to the bathroom, and 6 times the night before, and this is on 50mgs of Nortriptyline! I was doing very well on Nortriptyline, when I first started on 30 mgs back in February I was only getting up once or twice a night and having little pain. Now it's like I'm not even taking it, that's how bad my symptoms have gotten!! I have no idea what I can try next.... I get way to tired and zombie like the day after taking Elavil, so that is out now too! My Doctor did suggest that we would try Neurontin or Kloznipan (sp?) at night and Valium during the day for pain, so hopeufully that's what he will decide to give me. In the mean time I am just praying I will be able to get some sleep tonight. I have to drive an hour and a half tomorrow to see my specialist and I won't be able to do it if I am exhausted!
I am just so down this week. It feels like this disease is kicking my butt. I have been trying to get relief for almost a year now and that makes me so sad if I think about it too long.
Thanks to all of you for listening! At least here I have a safe place where no one is judging me or wondering if it is all in my head! If I have to hear one more well- meaning friend of mine tell me I don't look sick....
I even had one friend tell me I need to repent my sins b/c God uses illness to punish people (Don't even get me started on that one!!!)
Thanks for reading this!
