Thanks Nicole. Interesting. I tried not to cascade google too far (allodynia was about as far as I went) becuase I like to pretend that if I don't know about it, I won't suffer from it. Worked for auras for years. I'ma keep doing it.
But they do have knockout drugs at the ER--not like going and getting Benadryl after making you wait for hours. Hopefully not needed.
I hate ERs and I hate making people come with me to them. But your offer is appreciated in that let-me-never-take-you-up-on-it way.
Understood. It was offered in that I-hope-that-you-won't-need-it way.
Dude, they give my MiL benadryl when she goes in for chemo. Benadryl?!? That seems so old school, but I guess it works.
My favourite was when they
wouldn't
give me benadryl because I was driving myself home. I get it, except I stopped on the way home to buy my own.
Best case scenario for Thursday is a) I live that long without snapping entire b) they come up with another procedure that'll last longer c) the procedure is covered by insurance and can be scheduled ASAP d) it's something I can drive myself to and from.
Either this Ambien is taking a long time to kick in, or I'm going to be appalled by these posts in the morning. But they look okay.
eta: Aha! Found an Ambien-related mistake/omission--Thursday refers to my moved up pain management appointment. Unless I alread mentioned that, and this coda is the error instead.
ita, how's that ambien treating you now?
whhhhheeeeee for Allyson - we knew it would happen. That's a good news day!
sleeeeeeeppp ita, sllllleeeeeepppppp.....
It's slowing me down typing-wise (why am I even tempting fate?) but I understand the plot of the TV show I'm watching, plus the net research I've been doing, and the characters on the monitor aren't leaping out at me. Must be a dud. Pain backed down a beat or two, though. So that's worth it.
Let me gently slide this ass into bed. No sudden movements or noises, people.
Sleep well.
congrats Allyson.
am still sick. hate virus.
I've been awake since before 5 -- had to get online for work. We got some important stuff done that couldn't be done when Customer Service is working, so it was worth the early rising. Still, I am gronk-ified....
