Last night I had another flare (I was bad and I ate real food), did not catch it soon enough, but took my regular pain med. After an hour it dropped the level of pain to a 4 but it was so annoying and I just felt wrung out. I have Ativan for sleeping issues. I decided to go to bed. Took my pill, and then read for a bit. About 15 minutes, the pain started to recede. I wasn't tired yet, but the pain started to recede until there was nothing and I had total relief.
Anyone know if this is coincidence?
Also, I am pretty sure I have ATN, not the classic type. Which means that the anti convulsants might not help. I am starting to wonder, considering all the pain I still have, whether they are going to help.
