This morning was pretty rough getting out of bed. 6am came quick. The sleeplessness has started to creep back. I woke up a few times. Yes. The pain is starting to come back. I can feel the swelling in my face near my jaw start to flare. At 3am, I got up to take my… Continue reading Rough Morning All Around & Reflection

A few people at work decided to put together a GoFundMe page to help lighten the burden of all the medical bills that are starting to pile up. I’m really grateful for everyone in my life. If you feel like helping donate, or just sharing to social media to get the word out I would… Continue reading GoFundMe

Not by any means my fault. We got to the infusion center 10 minutes before they opened. Once they opened the doors, it was a ghost town here. Literally 2 people plus hepworth. Nobody in infusion. We hung out till 8:15, then headed up to ENT. Around 8:30, we got called back. But sat forever… Continue reading Late Start

Last Saturday was my 2nd induction treatment of ketamine. This time, the provider pumped me up to 90mg, I could tell a difference from last time. The whole pain free feeling it’s just unexplainable. Seeing how I’ve been in writhing agony since the implant fuck up. I’ve experienced pain before, who hasn’t. But this shit… Continue reading Some Sort of Progress

After yesterday’s revelation of the Rifampin bullshit, I slept almost 8 hours. I woke up at around 2am. Popped a dilaudid and transferred this husk into the bedroom. I’m tired. Just pain pain pain everywhere I turn. Chronic pain is a fucking curse. I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone. It would be so much easier… Continue reading Something I’ve Missed

Welp. A small Google search yielded some eye opening shit. Rifampin reduces the serum levels of dilaudid and Ambien. That’s why I never pee hot at pain management. And also why I can’t fucking sleep. I’m stopping it immediately.

Today started off ok. Anies was home before her trip. So we planned to tag team infectious disease today. But that was short lived. Around 10, I got a call saying that the Dr had a “family emergency” and that I needed to reschedule for tomorrow. Not thinking straight I just said ok. That’s when… Continue reading Day of Frustration and Ignorance

Little bit of writers block this week. Just haven’t had anything noteworthy to write about. I finished up my last Dr visit last week with my GP filling out my STD extension paperwork. Originally I was supposed to return at the end of this week, but I made the call to extend. Why? Well. Shit… Continue reading Escaping the Cycle

This whole not sleeping thing is getting old. I can’t shut off the pain out of my brain anymore. Wife gives me face rubs. A lot. Everytime she does it I can find calm for about an hour. Half the time, she puts me out. I was hoping for that tonight, but it didn’t happen.… Continue reading Wide Awake

Today I called into Klarisana if they received the paperwork from Prism, and as expected, pain management signed off on the use in their care. Thank. Fucking. God. But I was running behind and had to call back later. I must have hit every stop light, person that couldn’t drive, and traffic to infectious disease.… Continue reading Ketamine Update and etc.
