In an effort to try and shed light on why my legs are so painful, I started a log last Tuesday. I've had 3 relatively pain-free days out of 11. I've been taking 2 extra-strength every day, 1-2 doxepins (anti-itch)
and oxycodone as needed, which is often.
The only pattern I see is that the pain usually happens in the afternoon/evening but can strike anytime. Last night, it woke me up in the middle of the night, and it came in the morning twice.
Am I getting obsessive or what? Maybe I should make a chart with a pain line on it. I'm so sick of this I could cry, and sometimes do. Is this a life?
Does persistent pain affect your brain? I was slowly poring olive oil into a pan today and none came out. I'd failed to remove the cap. It was almost funny.
I've done the thing with failing to take the cap off something. Wonder if it has to do with us both being in our fifties ;) As for the pain, did it start with the extreme cold? Wonder if there could be some kind of connection?
