I worked out side at my son's house the last 2 days. we removed 40 feet of metal pipe fence. we installed 50 ft off 4 x 4 hog wire fence with 5 poles and one gate. I worked 14 hours. I did not have any symptoms for 2 days and i slept 5.5 hours nonstop one night and 7.5 hours nonstop the next night. When i woke up both mornings i was stiff but otherwise i feel okay. I was dreaming strange dreams tonight and could not stay asleep so here i am writing i have slept 3 hours so far tonight. i worked hard nonstop 7 hours each day. I think that is why i have felt so good the last couple of days.
Gabapentin is the new med only 2 weeks so far. Works great for pain but makes me sleepy.
my meds
600 mg gabapentin 300 morning 300 late after noon
3 25/100 cl and 150/200 24 hour release every 4 hours
600 mg ibuprofen as needed
1 6 mg ropinirole a day. was off it for a week but would wake up stiff as a board now i have very little stiffness.
You can see the new fence and the gate in the image. In the background you can see where we had the bonfire the little structure is the bar. The fire was so hot all the beer bottles melted.
