37 Pain Control

21 November 016


I had been on 2ml of hydromorphone since 12 October for pain management.. I had very rarely needed 3ml  but 2 seemed enough  and I never increased that basic dose. Now it's time to quit. On 1.8 it seems horrible. I ache all over and feel depressed.

I'm trying to reduce by 10% every 3 days but I think I would like to go quicker if this is how it feels. I kept busy today by slowly putting the snow tires on my car and that helped a bit. Now I'll try to find a video that will cheer me up. But what I want to do is just curl up under the sheets and let the clock whirl around.

My temperature is stable and I an swallowing easier but I can't think of any inspiring messages tonight. Perhaps tomorrow's sunrise will bring new insight!
