I finally contacted my neuro to ask for a PT referral. He responded right away that he would send one right over to the place I always go to. I also asked him if it was okay to try taking a low dose of Baclofen in the afternoon to see if it will help with the spasticity in my legs because it gets worse after I do some walking and when I get tired (I'm too worried about sedation to take it in the morning at this point)... he okay'ed that.

Baclofen is the med I tried restarting because the spasms in my legs at night got unbearable, but it interacted with my night meds at a low dose, and I started sleep walking, falling asleep on the toilet, etc, so I smoke medical MJ at night instead now. But I don't take the same heavy meds in the morning, and nothing in the afternoon, so I thought it was worth a try. I took 5mg, a very small dose, yesterday at 3pm, and I noticed a little difference. So, I will try increasing the dose to 10mg this afternoon.

I finally got to the supermarket yesterday. Walking through the store was brutal, but I couldn't put it off any longer. I didn't get home until 2:30 because I didn't leave until Corey got out of bed at 1:30. I wanted to be sure he was up and ready to carry in ALL the bags.

I'm feeling much better today... my fever, which hit 101.5, and the feeling of fullness in my throat are gone. I wonder if it was an inflammatory response related to my allergies, which seem to be under control now... IDK. One less worry now tho.
