Like clockwork. And I do feel like I've gotten over some sort of hump. Good. And, well, sobering. First the good. Maybe I'm not quite so wretched :D. It's just my chemically induced personality. I'm still going to work on more healthy anger expression (anger *hygiene*).
More sobering is the actual pain itself. I love seeing my body reset to lower doses of norco again. That shows resilience. However, the pain between doses can be insistent.
My Osteopath wrote my gp that he reccommends pain medication going forward. :( So, my choices seem to be a) narcotics--no(!), b) anti-depressants (failed cymbalta & lyrica--in flames; no thanks savella!) c) tricyclics (I love being AD free! Despite my cries for knock-out risperdal.) d) ? Zanaflex helps (milder muscle relaxant).
Of course, add gradated (graduated?) exercise and some meditation, plus more therapy, but I don't mind these.
Thanks one and all :)
