The joys of drugs hahahahahahaaha I'm on lyrica 100mg 3 times a day, and hydrocodone 1 or 2 every 4 to 6 hours basically when I need them, it all helps but the side effects suck, the more hydro the less sleep and now it makes me groggy and I feel high or drunk in the mornings but it helps the pain

When my pain levels are higher than usual, I take extra pain meds as prescribed by my pm dr. I then go to bed with a cup of hot tea, chocolate and a heating pad. Then I watch a comedy to try to distract me from the pain until the meds start to help numb the pain. I hope this helps you out a little.

Are you sensitive to vibrations? Loud noises? Flashing lights?

If so, the movies might be difficult for you. Especially a crowded theater with an action movie, for example. I rarely go anymore, and when I do, I choose a time with few others in the audience, and try to choose more mellow options.
