This DOES happen to me. When I am at work I remember to take them on time because one of my students takes meds at the same time. Easy to remember. Last weekend my husband and I were out doing stuff and I totally forgot, until I was having a lot of pain. I was about 3 hours late taking them and I hurt for about 2 hours after I took them. I don\'t understand that!
This happens to me also. It is funny. You forget to take them because you feel better and think that is the right thing to do, but your body has a mind of its own. In fact, some days they work, some not so good. I have suffered the last two days. This morning started out so much better until I jammed my thumb on my bed (scooting across with cast in tow to put my computer on my lap). Now, of course, my body is screaming out from my thumb to my shoulder. Hope things get better for you :)
I know that sometimes that even an hour after taking my cocktail of meds,my pain levels can be still severe. Woud have thought they would have helped the pain by that stage. I try and take them on time,but there are times when I am a half hour or so late. Take care sweetheart and here for you
