So I can barely function right now. Literally!! I am so so tired that my eyes are not staying open. I don’t think I will be able to write much at all. I keep falling asleep. I need to take advantage of it and actually go to bed!! Once I almost dropped the iPad. I had a really really busy day! It was just go go go all day, with hardly any breaks in between things, until past suppertime. I saw my pain doctor and he changed my medication again. Also, he upped the oxycodone so that, hopefully, it may help. He’s very very good! He is super nice, easy talk to, and he actually seems like he cares. Also, he doesn’t judge you, consequently I don’t feel like what I say to him is wrong or bad. As a result, I tend to feel more free talking to him about things and saying things that I might hesitate to say to other docs. Many doctors make you feel uncomfortable, like you’re seeking out pain medication just to get high. Dr Hauptman’s goal is to make me pain-free. Once we get there, I rejoice. Then, from that point, we can slowly back off some of the meds and see which ones help and which don’t. The first goal is to make me pain-free. And I have to admit I agree with him, pain-free sounds great to me! Also, starting next week, on Tuesday or Wednesday, I get my first shipment of medical marijuana to try. I’m super nervous because of the whole legal illegal debate thing…But, for now, I’m off to bed. 

To help with research and treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia please go to http://www.tnnme.com (Trigeminal Neuralgia and Me) to sign a petition to have the World Health Organization (WHO) add Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) to their “Health topic list.”

Hopefully once day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
