living with AFP: February 2013
http://allodynia.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 25, 2013. Has it been that long? Oh my gosh. I can't believe I haven't written in here for a year. Wow. So I was supposed to have the other half of my teeth pulled this past Friday but we were snowed in. It's been rescheduled for May 9th and I'm on the cancellation list. After the teeth come out and the gums heal, I can get fitted for my dentures. I can't wait till this is over. I want teeth back! Oh well, enough of that. He's gone now. I hope he found peace. I'm going to write my book a...

Monday, February 10, 2014. It's been 8 years, 8 months and 4 days since October 6, 2005, the day I was finally diagnosed with the chronic pain I had been suffering since the middle of August 2005.

Right-sided persistent idiopathic facial pain. Sensitivity to light (photophobia). Sensitivity to sound (hyperacusis). View my complete profile.

living with AFP: Hanging in there - day 2022
http://allodynia.blogspot.com/2011/04/hanging-in-there-day-2022.html
Friday, April 22, 2011. Hanging in there - day 2022. Sometimes it just seems like the same drudgery day after day after day. I stopped riding my exercise bike for a while when I was feeling really non-motivated but I started up again so I'm hoping to get back into the groove with that. It makes me feel better and I don't get that couch potato sensation as much as when I'm just hanging out watching TV and web-surfing. I certainly understand the falling asleep at the drop of a hat!

living with AFP: June 2010
http://allodynia.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. Day 1729 - 3am and still awake. God, I need some peace. Please. I'm stressing out here. The thought of losing my pain meds. Is making me hurt more. The necessity of decreasing the anxiety med certainly isn't helping. If I weren't so sensitive to medications, I could just jump into another category of meds. Or something and maybe that would help. However, I am severely limited, and therein lies the problem. Anyhow, so I stopped the nighttime dose of Xanax. That was helping me enter ...

http://allodynia.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 14, 2010. I was refused based on the chronic pain even though I am taking Methadone for it based on my allergies and sensitivity to several medications. I cannot practice as a nurse on narcotics but my pain doc (not this one, the second one - or was it the third one? Request copies of any and all scans, x-rays, lab tests, biopsies, or the like that confirm your diagnosis. Again, request it in writing and sign the request. Ask the place that did them if you can remember. It cuts ...Make a li...

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Update time.day 2851 and counting. So, all the teeth are gone. As of yesterday I have my dentures fully relined and they are in my permanent (I hope! Possession. I'm sure they'll need some readjustment but hey - at least that nasty functional reliner is gone. I thought that thing would be the death of me. I'm trying to lose weight, I really am.but I'm such an emotional eater that any kind of stress sets me off and man, has our life been full of stress! It seems like yesterday I ...

http://allodynia.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 10, 2013. Day 2983 - almost 3000 days. And time goes dragging on. And taking me with it, whether I like it or not. I feel bad that I missed the message he was giving me, though.how did I not hear what he was saying? Pain-wise, things are pretty much status quo. It sucks and that's how it is. I'm tired of being tired. I'm tired of nodding off during movies and TV shows and (gasp! I'm not a monster! Gotta go put the feet up. They're swelling again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
