To people with experience wtih arthritis: is one of the symptoms being the affected joint being tender to the touch?
Yes.
Joy. Thank god I'm right handed, but keyboards don't really care.
erin, if I had brownies, I would try halving those amounts and seeing what happens, and go from there.
In completely unrelated news, we just deployed an awful lot of police on halloween decorations. Specifically, a report of someone waving around an axe in front of a Goodwill. I Guess the caller, with the dark and all, didn't notice that the axe was plastic. Or bright yellow. Or being wielded by a mannequin. That was awesome.
That mannequin was looking shifty.
I just went to Nightvale for a moment
(laughing)
erin, I'm such a dweeb, I was like: WTF is wrong with a brownie? I love chocolate!
LOL, i would never take any drug that meant I couldn't eat chocolate!!! I guess I feel the need to be a bit sly, what with my workplace being fully allowed to monitor everything I do while near the building. Pretty sure my home is more than far enough away to allow for the occasional foray into special baked goods. Especially when none of the RX drugs were doing jack shit for sleep. When even ambien stops working....sigh. Depressing pain/insomnia/hate/misery spiral of body loathing. But valium. Ok. we'll keep trying that till the surgical consult at the end of the month. Current best theory is organ adhesions from all the past ovarian cysts and endometriosis, or a femoral hernia. Seriously, a hernia. Aren't those for old men? Apparently neither of those can be ruled out with imaging. *fingers still crossed for non-surgical pain resolution*. I keep telling myself that if i can just break the pain/insomnia loop for a day or two it'll all soon be an unpleasant memory. Pleaseohplease.
I hope the combo works and you have a non-surgical resolution, e_o.
I've started taking melatonin for insomnia. 5mg puts me to sleep, but I wake up at 3. Since I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow morning, I'm gonna give 10 mg a try tonight.
ND, I hope you have a more reasonable schedule soon.
erin, even if you ate a crapload of brownies and took 1 valium you wouldn't die. I'd say try 1/2 and 1/2, and if that's not happy-sleep making, 1 valium and 1/4.
I obvs don't recommend eating a pan of brownies, but pot and 1 pill will be fine; I'd be more leery of mixing booze and pills, or upping the pill dosage.
