With my Lyrica I'm allowed to take it 3x's a day but I try not to because of the weight gain aspect. My problem is that if I'm not in pain before I go to bed I forget to take it. Then i wake up in pain and it's to late. I don't know what's going on with me right now but the pain is so bad that I can't sleep. Yesterday was a good day not to much pain. Just exhaustion from not sleeping the night before. I took my last Lyrica at 7 or 8. Thought I was finally going to get a good night sleep but as soon as I closed my eyes I felt the pain. I was up all night. The weather was nice so I know that wasn't it. It's never been this bad. I slept a little today but only felt worse when I woke up. My poor kids have been stuck in the house for a week now. I want to do stuff with them but I'm exhausted from no sleep and the pain drains the rest of my energy. I'm at a loss of what to do. There's so many meds that that I can't take for the pain because of my bipolar disorder. I'm tired and frustrated and angry. In the past I've always been able to keep myself busy and ignore the pain. Mind over matter. But not in the past two weeks it's just getting worse and worse each day. I hate being like this. Feeling so useless. My husband is great he doesn't say a word when he comes home to a dirty house. He just starts cleaning up. But then I feel so guilty. Any suggestions? I'm Desparate!
