No, I haven't. Only Advil, which usually relieves pain. It doesn't do a darn thing for the leg/foot pain, though. Thank you for the Naprosyn idea! I'll definitely follow through on that.

Pdoc increased my Trilafon dose to 6mg/day. Since it's been helping the anxiety at 4mg I'm hoping for the best.

My achilles surgery will almost surely be postponed, which is hard to take. What can I say...all of this is hard to take. I feel really angry when I see people in other states hanging out at beaches, in restaurants, whatever. I don't know when I'll see people walking on the sidewalks, or see the inside of a store or restaurant again. Or see my therapist, for that matter. Why are people permitted to fu*k it up for others?

The Trilafon is a good one. I hope she raises it even more.

Everything is hard to entirely gauge, though, at this crazy time. If we just knew when this will be over. I'm a little bit worried that the demons have caused this. Which scares me because I do not want to go there again.

No tp left, time to start using the paper towels...sore tooshie time

Naproxen sodium, as mentioned to you above, also helps my pain more than major pain meds. Check with your GP on this: If the OTC dose is not enough, there is a prescription dose, as well. Please do check with your doctor on using the higher dose, please.

The anti-inflammatory effect can be quite helpful.

Please do watch your GI effects. Can really irritate the GI.

Thank you so much, WC. I will find out on Tuesday whether or not I'm having the surgery. If not, I will speak with my ortho doctor about Naprosyn (my GP isn't very good).
