I had a lot of pain early this morning, so I gave in and took an extended release morphine pill, which I do not often do. It does its job normally for about six or eight hours and I am good....then we begin the the looooooooong slide down.
It's about twelve hours later now, and I am in that mental phase where I feel like I am doing the breast stroke through liquid concrete while singing Gregorian chants in Pig Latin to a school of drunk porpoises.
I hate time release opiates....and then insomnia to come. Who the hell gets insomnia with narcotics?
After an accident in the 90s I was given time-release Oxycontin...I threw it out after a week. And when I told the doctor how the cycle went, he said, "It's not supposed to do that." I should have gotten a notarized copy of that statement to carry with me....because time-release Tramadol and morphine don't know their roles very well either. Doctors love these time-release version of drugs and think they are a cut above the usual type...somebody forgot to tell my innards.
People's reaction to drugs can vary considerably, no uniform reaction. I've known people where a Percocet did nothing for them, and I took one once, and it hit me like a speeding bullet. I was eating dinner and my face nearly went straight down into my dinner, I could hardly haul myself up the stairs to bed.
I know people who become very talkative, taking marijuana, and me? It paralyzes me completely. I get so paralyzed I can't even open my mouth to spit out a word.
Once a week I take a Flexeril, a muscle relaxer. Tonite's my night. Feel so fortunate to be so close to Mexico and their pharmacies!
Same here including a couple of trigger fingers. For the aches and stiffness I find that a CBD topical works for me.
I had no idea that anyone else would know about "trigger fingers". I found out about them while online the other day. I don't want injections nor an operation on the hands, so that leaves me to alternatives. I'll check into the CBC topical. thanks!
