I just got off the phone with my doctor and he incresed my Pain medication I have been losing sleep for over a month now and I have tried every thing hot baths, a glass of warm milk just about all those home remidies I finally had to call yesterday and today to get my Primarey Care Doctor at The VA I am a veteran and I get all my care at the VA hospital Thank god I never had a pill problem I did drugs but it has been over 20 years ago. My drug of choice was booze, So what he is doing is increasing my Methadone dose from 30 Mg a day to 45Mg a day 1/2 a tablet at first in the morning and at night thenalso add the musle relaxer 2 pills twice a day morning and at night, and contine the Perocet as needed every 6 hrs I am keeping a Pain log of what I take and when it was taken in case I have a reaction. The only bad part is I had plans to nite to go to a meditation group to meet new people And He said No Driving for 2 weeks until I get the medications in my system that means anywhere he said because with the musle relaxer I could nod off and add in the increase dose of the 1/2 tablet of methadone and I did drive I have a best friend roommate,But she is over at her boyfriends playing house right now then he is going out of town and she is house sitting so I dont really know when she will be back I dont even feel like she is living here now I dont have anyone to talk to or disscuss anythoing with, She is cooking her Boyfriend a nice rosat for diner I couldnt afford a roast I have got only 64.00 on my preload Visa Card and that is what it is for emergenicies. I think the guy from the Misa program is supposed to call tomorrow about taking me back to the Grocery store but I cant go right now I only have that left But I need milk ceral and peanut butter and jelly and bread I have to pay cash americaia back for the 225.00 out of my 936.00 montly check for the Loan that I took out on the 3rd of March Cash or money order Im doing money order plus 100.00 cash for the prepaid card They are also odering a new musle relaxer called baclofen I looked it up on web md and it is simply a muscle relaxer. I will always read up on what I am supposed to be taking and educate myself about the side effects and what foods I should aviod on the medications thats all for now I also have a apointment to see the VA pain clinic on feb 19th at 1pm to do a procedure which they stick a big needle to the hip bone Joint and inject corizone and steriods in there it is supposed to help with the pain mbut It only lasted 2 months last time on my back when they did the injection procedure so I am hoping that the treat,ment last longer this time. Any way the main thing that needs to be done is a Hip replacement and theres no reason to no do it except they want to try every means possible except doing the surgery, My quality of life has gone down hill from active to almost nothing, I had plans to attend a meditation diner partuy on friday and the Doctor said no driving so I did not attend that was one of my free things that I looked up on FaceBook that was a local event listed there ai dont know whats comming up but I wilkl have to see about a rise if it is on a different night. And I have the scence magizine from the gainesville Sun so i will try and look and see if there is anything that I can do in there that I can do when my roommate is off work amnd able to take me if she is intersted in what the event is to be about. It is only two weeks but before that it was that I didnt have the noiney to attend thew events now that I have found free ones to attend it dosesnt seem like such a bad idea to try again when I am able to physicaly. The mian thing that is holding me back in a lot of these cases is the pain levels and how much pain Im can stand before I have to get up again while I am at a sitting position. And I had the problem that when I wake upo in the morning I hear the trucks loading nest store blam loud noises t5hey start early about 6 am so if you are not awake you will be buy then and off I go to make coffee. So without that cup pof coffee and some good encouragement I would probaly not even get up in the morning, I would sleep all day like i doid before.
