I know that is stupid but you think nutty things when you're in pain. I couldn't really explain it otherwise. I also felt guilty for being a mess in the evenings.
I've tried the med route and scheduling. All I can do is load up on methadone and sit on the heating pad.
Thanks, you guys, for making me appear more normal. I appreciate it.

Gosh do I hear you on this....3 is when i start picking up kids from school, shuttling them around, and then the whole dinner/bedtime routine with the little ones. One day a week i have to drive for about an hour straight getting everyone where they need to be, and I always always have extra trouble that day... My only real solution is that i start popping breakthrough pills when i can't do what absolutely needs to get done, then spend the next morning recovering.
I always wondered in the back of my mind if it was because i had to come out of my personal comfort zone at 3- something about being alone i never feel too much pressure and i can relax my way through lots of things that i can't do when people are around me. But as soon as i have to start getting kids i know the tough evening lies ahead...
I go to sleep almost every night on my heating pad. My hubby hates that thing, he says it stole me from him
