Tough Week

    So after finding out that the SPG Block was a lose-lose, I decided to take time to work out my sleeping medication. Last week I saw my pyciatrist and he said the last dosages he gave me were only starter doses. So we upped both of them. It still takes me forever to fall asleep but I get a good 8 hours which always helps.

   Everyday last week I seemed to be at the pharmacy picking up a refill, I was doing good when everything came due at the same time. I called when I knew that they had not refilled my Tergretol XR, they said they had to order it and it wouldn't be here until the next afternoon. I told them I was completely out of it and they said still tomorrow. I usually get a text message that my rx's are ready to pick up. I went on with my day and didn't think about not even getting a text. So after J got off of work I remembered and had him swing by and pick it up. I took the afternoon dose and thought I would just go on. The next morning J and I picked M up from her sleep over and went to eat. By the afternoon my head and face were starting to hurt. I felt sick to my stomach also. I suddenly remembered that I had skipped my morning medications. CRAP!!! I ate something and then took my afternoon doses, but by then I was in too deep with the pain. My face was hurting and I felt as if I was shot in the head. All I could think about was what would happen at the E.R.. But I couldn't even communicate with J that I needed to go. I took a pain pill and that didn't help. I had J get me 2 -100mg Tegretol Chewables. He wouldn't let me take anything else. I just laid there. Sunday I woke up still having pain but not to the magnitude for the night before. I didn't do anything Sunday, and Monday I just took M to and from school. Today hasn't been much different, but the pain is starting to fade. I can't believe that I missed my medication and (2) days in a row at that.
