Every time I swallow it feels like a dagger down my throat. Can't sleep because eventually you have to swallow. I don't like taking medications unless I have to; I'm more inclined to tough it out. But if I don't fall asleep before dawn, I think I'll give in.

herethennow, I for one hope you don't give up. I know how it feels. And in the moment, it's hell on earth. I'm around if you ever want to talk.
