Unfortunately my symptoms are all worse at night, or any time I'm tired.

I called the doc yesterday, they told me to take 300mg of Gabapentin in the morning. I told them no way on that one! So for last night they had me up the Gabapentin to 1200mg instead of 900mg then call them today to let them know how it went.

I called and left a message this morning but haven't heard back yet. It didn't help, no way I would never have guessed. You think when you tell them that the medication is not touching the pain they could figure that out. Apparently not!

So the other thing they want me to try is upping the Elavil. That is probably what they'll have me do tonight. But they said if we can't get this figured out by phone I will have to come in. Oh yay a two hour trip one way that I have to find someone to take me. That person also has to watch my son while I'm in there. Someone has to take my daughter when she gets out of kindergarten because there is no way I would be able to get back in time.

The other option is a new (to me) medicine (can't remember the name) but it is likely to have the same side effects and the nurse seemed very reluctant to put me on it.

Oh yeah and I woke up in pain at 3am, luckily I was so tired I fell back to sleep in about a half hour.

But on a positive note, I did get up and make waffles with strawberry sauce, bacon and eggs this morning for everyone. Oh and it's Friday so we get to sleep in for the next two days.

I do love that if I ever need a smile my kids are very good at making me smile. My hubby knows how to make me laugh, even when I hurt so bad I want to scream.

I think tonight is leftover night.

Thanks for the support everyone, hopefully we will get this figured out soon!
