Another day

Well, I can't figure myself out.  I felt ok on Friday and then Saturday was horrible again.   While I could walk with my leg dragging I felt miserable. I was so exhausted. I wanted to sleep in on Saturday and my husband decided he wanted to play his guitar.  It was 7:30 am and he was playing the same chords over and over and over.  He of course woke me and my daughter. I just tried to cover my ears with a pillow and go back to sleep but my daughter being the ADHD child she is ran thru the house yelling "bacon" at the top of her lungs.  I dragged myself out of bed.  I showered and got my daughter ready to go to her playdate for the day.  My hubby wanted to go to the hardware store and I needed to pick up my meds from the store too.  I waited in the truck for hubby at the hardware store.  I then went to the pharmacy in  my store and picked up my meds.  It took forever!  Then I found the doc gave me gabapentin instead of neurontin which he was talking about...no difference to me.  just surprised.  I went home and ate lunch and took a nap.  My hubby and son  and step daughter took the dogs to the dogpark to play.  I slept for 2 1/2 hours.  I felt like a new person when I woke up.  Needless to say, Sunday there was no guitar in the morning...LOL. 
I felt fine yesterday.  I am noticing that my throat and ears are sore.  Not enough to make me think I have an infection.  I have been taking tylenol and that seems to help.  Today I have a lot of pain.  I took my gabapentin and not sure if it is helping anything.  I noticed that my fingers on my right hand are pretty numb today.  other than that, nothing much to complain about.
Well, time to get work done.

I take Gabapentin too and it is generic for Neurontin. You kind of have to build up slowly until you get to the full dose. So, it takes a while before you get the desired effect. It\'s taken me a couple of weeks. It\'s for nerve pain is what my Neuro told me, the burning kind that makes me want to rip my arm off and beat myself with it. LOL
Hope you\'re not coming down with something with that sore throat and ear. That\'s all you need!
Gentle hugs, Linda

Did you hide the guitar? LOL! Don\'t you just hate it when you are trying to get some rest and the family is doing their thing very loudly. It always happen at my house, too. But I would not want it any other way. I hope the medicine works for you.

PS. The pharmacist recommended the best earplugs. Bless his heart!
