Dear all,
First of all, let me resume what my problem was/is.
Pain only at night – or in horizontal position. One sleeping pill + 300 mg Lithium + 2x60mg Duloxetin. I started with 1.5 hrs. of sleep. Then, I had to jump out of bed and stay awake for 45 min until the pain was over. With one dose of night medication (2 mg sleeping pill + 150 mg Lithium + 200 mg Tramadol) back to bed for 2 hrs. Wake up with pain (less than the first time) for the 2nd time. Again 45 min. and one second dose of the 3 medicaments. Sleeping time 2 hrs., same time up, same dose of pills en back to sleep for the 3th time. When all went well for 3 hrs. Same time up and 3th dose of medication to go back to bed. In total, I had 8.5 hrs. of sleep, but fragmented.
With some reservation, I report now the result after 3 weeks of PainShield:
My first impression is that the medication works amplified. In the morning and until I take a shower I feel dizzy and sleepy.
I still wake up 4 times a night. However, only the first time I feel the pain, but less. As from then on, I wake up after the same times of sleeping, but practically no pain at all. Also my sleeping times are longer. Yesterday even the last one? I slept for 4 hrs.
I do hope that this positive trend will continue and in several weeks it should be much better. If not, I’ll let you know!
Wish me that this trend may continue.
Until later,
Walter
