LOL - sorry, no leftover - I don't like to be wastefull

I was hoping it would only take a puff or two and when it didn't I just kept puffing. Oh well, this experiement definitely took me back quite some years.

I usually only do a puff or two and then it's out. I aim for relief, not to get high. When I feel the spazzing coming back I hit it with a puff before it hurts.

BTW LA, if you need to get rid of any leftover evidence let me know.

Sorry your having such a difficult time right now, Erin. I hope you start to do better soon

I've got weird stuff going on tonight.

My right knee (the one I injured a few weeks ago) was really stiff this morning, and kept wanting to go out on me...

A few minutes ago, I got up to go use the potty, and the left leg hurt so bad for about 10 seconds that I couldnt put weight on it and I actually fell over onto the bed. (thankfully I missed the knitting needles, that would not have been pretty) Limped into the bathroom, came back and my leg was fine, didnt have the weird shooting pain going up it that I had a few minutes before.

and tonight, some invisible person keeps stabbing me in the shoulders with a weird shooting pain....had that same shooting pain go across my right hip and stomach last night while walking across a room. I'm guessing these are some spasticity sensations that are a bit more intense than ones I've had before.

and, I cant sleep. The Evil Insomnia Troll must have been here earlier and spiked my non-caffeine Diet Coke with some caffeine or something. My brain is refusing to shut down, even tho the rest of my body is begging it to.

Oh, and the Insomnia Troll's cousin, the Vertigo Troll was here last night. He's apparently got some special remote control hooked up to my 8th cranial nerve and is randomly flipping the dizzy switch to "on", and setting the dizzy settings to just below "medium". At least he's not just sitting there turning it on and off repeatedly. He's only hit me twice with that. I dont think it's been 24hrs yet tho...and the vertigo may be related to the lack of sleep.

I cant wait to see the regular doctor tomorrow. I'm asking for some Ambien or something similar...and asking him to check with the neuro to see if there might be a possibility of some steroids in my future (dont really want to do that tho, so if they can find me an anti-vertigo med that works better than meclizine, that might help)

I'm glad I'm just getting the inconveiniet (argh, I cant spell that word!) relatively minor annoyances and not anything big and scary (yet) But this is really annoying.

I guess there's a lot of suckage in the forum this week for a lot of people symptom-wise.

It's got to be something in the air, or the water, or maybe it's sunspots... There's some mighty powerful MS suckage going around this week.

Not looking towards MJ now. Don't think it would help unless I was interested in the munchies.

But very sorry it gave you no relief.

LOL - my rolling sucked

I fel like such a whimp for crabbing about the pain because I know I have great compared to so many.......

Oh Kay, don't be silly. Pain is subjective. What might be painful to one person might not be painful to you. I know there are plenty of people in more pain than I am but that does not take away from my misery. Your pain is affecting your quality of life. That cannot be compared to someone else.

I wasn't trying to "one up". I just wanted you to know that I can empathize.

My doctor suggested the pump but he wants to try oral medication first. This suits me fine. I am beyond broke from all of the injections that I had last year.

You are right. Chronic pain is a killer. I fight every single day to find a reason to continue. This is why I recently switched pain management specialists.

For anyone who is considering going to one or who is currently seeing a PMS, if you continue to worsen, find someone else. Do not stick around for 4 years like I did.
