Gotta Love It

[Guest guest]

I tapped a deep vein of relief today, folks! Woohoo!

The secret for today (these things are notoriously difficult to

reproduce):

1) combine oral MS Contin and 2x Gabitril dose on rising

2) add 5mg liquid morphine at 2 hours

3) drink several cups of warm liquid (I cheated and had a bit of

coffee, then tea)

4) eat 3 poached eggs and two peaces of toast

I feel so much better than I did 4 hours ago, you can hardly believe

it. Lumbar and knee pain down at least 30%, neuropathy down more

like 50%.

Whee!

I rarely touch the liquid morphine. It was only prescribed for one

month, by a doctor who I hoped would replace my last nutso-sadist of

a PCP. She decided I was too difficult a case, so I have horded the

liquid morphine, knowing I had no way to replace it. Actually, to be

honest I forget that it is there.

Bicillin injections are still a big question mark. I've never

replicated the relief I got from the first shot, which makes me

think a mechanism other that bug-killing was at work there. Now, the

shots seem to trigger a cycle - very bad the next day, still worse

than baseline the following, a few hours when I may be above

baseline and WHAP! time for more.

I think my immune system is not quite as bad as you might assume,

but my body's ability to clear toxins is badly impaired. The

Shoemaker drugs sit unused on my shelf, because they challenge the

liver and mine is very tempermental and shows it on blood tests.

So we need a toxin cleansing strategem that is easy on the liver.

Calgon, take me away! Er, Glutathione, take me away! Er, magnesium,

take me away! Someone, get this endotoxin the hell away from me,

please!

Oh well, the thing is I feel a little better. May last a few hours.

Or not. Either way, I am grateful.

His Divine BlabFest, Da Pope, sends blessings on you all.
