Thank you ladies

The spasms in my legs never stopped yesterday, and they were brutal. I pushed through PT the best I could. Thank God I arranged the curb-side grocery pick-up (which went off without a hitch) because I never would have been able to make it through the store.

The only thing that helped at all was getting down on the floor and stretching out my legs for a while, but it was hardly the relief I needed, and only short-lived. I tried to lay down for a nap, but I was in too much pain + still manic.

I bought the CBD MJ tincture yesterday. The sales guy told me it would probably take me 2 droppers to get the results I was looking for, but I wanted to start with one. I waited until it was too late to start because if you mix it with something and drink it (rather than put drops under your tongue, which the guy at the dispensary said was a no-no) it takes longer to work. An hour later, I took the 2nd dropper's worth, and waited, and still was having significant pain in my legs, so I ended up smoking some MJ until the pain got better before going to bed. I slept, and had no issues until I woke up at about 8, which is pretty late for me. My legs were better this morning, but are getting shitty again.

I will try the drops again tonight- earlier in a higher dose, and see how things go. I may have to just end up driving to get the flower next week.

I don't know what's going on with all of that. It's not new stuff, it's just ramped up, so technically I have to wait a week to see if it's a real relapse vs. a pseudo-relapse caused by some other kind of physical stress. I hope it will pass.

My pdoc called me back yesterday and said that I should take the Abilify at night vs. in the morning or afternoon. I woke up nauseous, but it went away after a couple of hours. I still feel sedated, but I have definitely slowed down. I'm still hypo, but at least things in that department are getting better. She wanted to up the dose, but not with me being so nauseous. I see her early Monday morning, so maybe she will do it then. IDK.

I'm going to lay down, and hopefully take a nap now...
