Supposedly on the up

[SallyE15]

Had a right struggle this weekend. Had a massive flare up in shoulder, neck and head pain causing me to be sick and so sleepy afterwards. Family were on the verge of ringing 111 if i didnt wake up when i did.

Pains still up but least not thinking i'm gonna throw up again.

Spoke with a different doctor this morning as my regular gp who was reviewing pain relief options and was supppsed to ring me on friday isnt in til wednesday! Nice to know my pain management is the least of her worries that nothings been put on the system.

Dr adnan has put me on gabapentin today as he quotes it cant go on like this. Thank you!!!!! One tablet today, two tomorrow then on 3 for next few days and it'll be reviewed from there.

Still no sign of this mri but least they are doing something i suppose.

Due to my collapsing episodes last year i am not to be left on my own while i get used to gabapentin?!? Sounds like fun but as long as it works i dont care!

Gosh, Sally, you've really been going-through it. You have my absolute empathy.

Thank goodness you got a different and sensible doctor and some pain relief. Phew!

Holding-out it makes a difference fast as humanly possible.

Hoping you'll hear about the mri soon, to know where you stand.

Thanks so much for keeping us posted.

Thinking of you and sending warmest wishes for these coming few days

I admire you keeping-up the motivation through it all, holding-on in there. brava Sally Xx
