Just thought I would give you all a quick update. Last night was still a struggle. Pain meds helped take some of the edge off...but I found out the hard way if I don't take the next dosage right away the pain comes back even worse. It was around 4 am I found this out. I had slept through the time I was suppose to take another pain med. and I woke up to the stabbing pain in my head/back/arm again. I tried to get out of bed but unfortunately that didn't go so well. I ended up throwing up all over the floor of my bedroom. Thank goodness I have a supportive husband. He took over and took care of me.

I honestly feel like I am going to have an emotional break down soon. My mood is so low and I feel so guilty for having to ask my husband, mom and friends and family to do so much for me for so long now. My 2 year old was beside herself yesterday watching me go through everything. Today my mom is going to take her to daycare so she doesn't have to witness as much.

Do any of you talk to anyone like a Psyc doc or therapist regarding your pain and what you go through? I really am thinking I should start...before this break down I am feeling really does happen. All I know is because of the lack of sleep I have had, the pain levels and my independence being taken away I am really starting to feel the toll of it all and wondering if depression is not setting in.

Thanks again everyone for your responses and support.

Take care,
Karen
