6am this morning I woke to take another dose of pain pills, and I had just put it on my tongue and the room started spinning, I couldn't hold my head or body up, and I was sweating profusely. I thought I was going to throw up everywhere, and I couldnt move myself to the bathroom. Juan brought me cold wash cloths and such, and I was finally made it to the restroom and layed on the cold tile for three hours in significant pain. Luckily, I never threw up, I despise that, but I felt so awful! Ive slept most of today, which is great b/c it doesn't hurt as much when I'm sleeping. And I *think* I've figured out a better combination of pain killers, food and anti-nausea medicine. We shall see, I'm getting pretty sleepy right now.
At 6am, pain was a 12 on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst. Overall today I feel like the pain has been a 7-8. Hard core painful, sucks!!

omg i'm sorry!
i wonder if its the hydrocodone!? i once had to take that for like 2 weeks like every 4 hours and it made me so nauseous - i could hardly get up from bed to go to the restroom...and then when i finished taking it - it took like a week or two to stop having headaches.
i mean its great for pain but the side effects are not fun!
i heart u be strong!
thanks girl. yeah its def. the meds, i know that, but i have to chose the lesser of two evils. take pill and have no pain, but have sickness or dont take pill and feel healthy but lots of pain...hmmm.
the good news is that ive built quite a tolerance to it already, so now its working better. the doc also gave me an Rx for Phenegren, which is an anti-nausea pill and it also enhances the effect of the pain killer, also helping you sleep. which is why i have a bout two mins left in me before i pass out.
