Running so long and so hard to the point now I can barely walk in shoes is God-awful. I haven't done that in a long time. Maybe I am missing the Wellbutrin (though I'm exhausted, I make myself run)? Or maybe the mood stabilizer isn't helping as much? I called and left a message for my pdoc to call me because of all this on top of the sleepwalking, just want to be sure it is OK normal stopping Wellbutrin stuff. I've been more irritable and anxious too along with some insomnia, 5 hours of sleep last night. It's been a tough few days.
Not sure my daughter is going to be in the best mood. She started her 2nd period yesterday, and this one is much heavier than the first. I just got back from the school as the nurse called, and she needed a change of clothes. She's very introverted & self-conscious, so I'm sure she is beyond embarrassed about it. That's such a hard time for girls growing up.

I am sorry it's been difficult.
Topical lidocaine has become very popular. It helps to numb affected areas. It's available at most pharmacies and in most big box stores. I am unsure if it can be used safely on broken skin or not; this is something you can ask your pharmacist. I am wondering if this might make you more comfortable?
Of course, walking a lot is not recommended with blisters; yet, you do have to walk a bit around home, etc.
I hope your daughter will find Halloween activities distract her from the day's event. It's a tough time for her.
Best wishes for a Happy Halloween!
