It's even worse than before

The tablets seemed to be working, the pain levels were lower (still there but cope able). Yesterday I had a really hard day at uni where I wasnt really understanding what was going on. Add the immense anger I was feeling towards one of the people on my course. The pain started after I left the classroom, and I was in a fowl mood. I had a really bad night, and then this evening I had the level 9 pain for like an hour, just sobbing, and now it's level 7 breaking into level 8.

Surely one moment of anger yesterday shouldn't have knocked into today. But it's so bad I'm really tempted to go to accident and emergency. The only reason I'm not going there is I know they can't do anything.

I've put numbnh gel on my face and taken three maximum strength ibrupohen tablets and still in pain. I don't know what to do with myself.

I'm in 24/7 pain, constant aching, burning pain. The amitriptyline works well for this kind of pain, but not for the electric shocks. If you're having shocks, you might want to ask your doctor about Tegretol or Trileptal. Hope your pain flare calms down!
