I waited until 11:30 last night to take another valium , 4 advil and soaked in the tub for 30 -40 minutes . Pain let up I got out applied the diltiazem and went to bed.
slept like a log. I awoke this am at 10:15 my tongue felt like sand paper , so i must have breathed through my mouth all night and never woke enough to close my mouth or anything. It did not hurt just very dry.
It is seeming to consume my life. I took off work this week or at least did not schedule any appt.
On Tues I went in for about 2-2.5 hours I was hurting a fair bit during some of that time but tolerated it and it got better.
Wed. I went in I was hurting when I got there and an hour after being there crawling on the floor to try and get away from the lpain I called my wife and got her to come get me because I did not think i could drive home. An hr. after I got home the lpain passed and the rest of the eve. was okay.
Thurs I tried to make a meeting at 4pm I drove about 5 of the 12 miles to the office and could not continue , I had to stop in a church parking lot and walk around the truck to relieve the pain. Turned around and came home. Hurt a lot until about 7 pm then it passed for the evening.
Friday , as you know was a real booger. Today has been painful since 1:30 it is now 3:30
I am going to explain to the surgeon on JWed that I cannot work without relief from these spasms. If surgery will provede that relief and thereby give my life back I will sharpen the knives for him.
I don't feel like I am getting any relief from the diltiazem I have taken it for 15 days now 2x or more and I still have excruciating spasms daily for several hours ( they may be getting worse in fact)
I don't know Lets all keep praying for each other. Amen
