My brother got married on Saturday. My job was to make sure the house was okay after they left, as well as help cat herd the flower girls (my daughter being one of them). I woke up on Sunday and was barely able to move. Of course I had drank the night before (1 hard cider, 4 small glasses of wine over the entire night). I was on my feet a lot (in flats) and was wearing a body shaper thing under my dress. My thighs were in so much pain when I woke up. I normally smoke pot to help with pain, but due to the party the night before, I didn't have a lot. My brother was given a bunch of joints for a wedding present, so he let me have one in the morning. It helped until it wore off. We went to lunch with my family as well as an old friend of mine. He's in a wheelchair and has some pain as well, and asked what I was taking, I told him I was trying to avoid opiates, he was as well.

So right now I'm only taking Oxcarbazepine, which is working for the buzzing. Pot for pain, when I'm not working (I'm in CA and this is medical MJ). I'm guessing I need a pain backup, for when it's really bad. I've been avoiding a lot of activities because I fear this kind of situation. I need something I can take at work that doesn't make me spacey, something I can take when I'm out of the house or when I'm out of pot. Not anything that makes me tired. The oxcarbazepine does that enough already. I'm on a generic only insurance plan, until probably November.

I meant to take an Epsom salt bath and just never got around to it as my daughter stayed up late and I just crashed right after she did. I'm at work today and completely drained, in pain but it's not as bad as yesterday.

I'm also very sensitive to meds. I'm not keen on Vicodin, it makes me hyper, nauseous, nor nothing at all. Tramodol had a horrible effect when I took it many years ago. Got physically addicted to Percocet when they gave it to me in the hospital, and I was taking a low dose. I'm currently taking Oxcarbazepine, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Levothyroxine, a Nerve combo with B12 and other good things in it, Mirapex and MMJ.
