Oh yeah, I forgot to add one thing - not only am I still having pain issues (woke up with a really bad headache this morning), I'm not sleeping now. Two nights ago, I went to bed around midnight (that's when I have to take my antibiotic) and just lay in bed for about an hour. Finally, I got up & took a muscle relaxer, as they've been making me very sleepy. No luck. I finally got back up around 3a and turned on the tv. Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was on, so I watched that until around 4a or so, then went back to bed. Had to be up at 6a to take my antibiotic again, then got up around 8a.
Last night I wanted/was ready to go to bed around 10p, but I'm so nervous about missing a dose and having that pain come back eventually, that I went for a cycle ride. I rode 50 miles last night & never left town. It was a really nice night, but my back was killing me, and I didn't enjoy it as much as I might have otherwise. I got back home around 11:30p, took my meds & went to bed.I kept waking up about every 1.5 hrs or so, and was dreaming the whole time, about absolutely nothing. Got up at 6a again & took my meds, went back to bed & ended up hitting the snooze button for a half hour before finally getting up at 8:30a. As soon as I was up, I took one of those stupid "migraine" pills the first doctor gave me - so far, each time I've taken them, they've done exactly jack squat (so I'm calling him a quack who doesn't listen to his patients, and will not be going back to him again), so I brought some Motrin with me today, as well as a pain pill, just in case. I took the Motrin about an hour ago (9:30a) with no luck, but I'm going to try to make it through the day without the pain pill if I can.
Oh, and I just realized one other thing - after a few months of having 3-4 drinks a night, 4-6 nights a week, I don't think I've had a drink since June 23rd. Normally this isn't a big issue, as I've stopped "cold turkey" before without a problem, but I wonder if, all things considered, that might be adding to my struggle.
Oh well, at least tomorrow is a holiday for us, so I can go back to sleep after my meds tomorrow morning.
