Tried a walk over to drugstore across the street to get advil. I can barely walk. Someone is going to have to help me to the doctor tomorrow. Im in alot of pain. Im trying 4 tylenol extra strength and 3 extra strength advil liquijels.

Doctor approved me up to 4000 mg of tylenol a day once in a while and up to 1200 mg of advil a day. Im at my max now and still severe headache and severe pain. Thought about going to the emergency but its not really an emergency, im just in a lot of pain. I guess I just have to wait it out until tomorrow. I wish I could curl up and fall asleep and avoid it, but lo and behold im a chronic insomniac too.

What el.... no, i am not going to say it. *knocks on wood*

I no longer put off going to the ER... or the doctor if it is day...for a shot of toredol. It's a cortizone derivative (steroid as such) and helps me immensely when a pain flare ensues... beyond my capacity for demerol...

no reason to suffer...please talk to your doctor about what to do in flares

((((gentle hug)))

Thanks for replying. Im trying everything tonight. I think I can make it through the night without too much trouble, I think ill just take an extra clonazepam and sleep thrugh most of it.

Toredol is a dream come true, isint it? they gave me pills but the doc said its hell on the tummy and I was warned not to take it any more than four times a day for no more than five days in a row. Ive been out for a while now and that just reminded me to get a refill. I think I am going to ask to be referred to the pain clinic this time as well. This is getting pretty chronic as of late.
thanks for your thoughts
