Hey all,
Been a while since I've been on here. While I was m.i.a. I was having a diffucult time dealing with my pain levels. Work has been reeallly busy. My facial pain (TN) was driving me nuts, but I found that Perocet worked well to calm it way down. But, it is very hard for me to work and concentrate while taking even the smallest dose of it. But oh how just getting a big relief from all this pain 'activity' was nice. Ultracet doesn't seem to touch that pain but takes the edge off of my FM symptoms and doesn't make me 'wacky'. Aaaaaah, I am a little frustrated with all that, I don't really want to take pain meds on a daily basis, but I guess I'll have to, at least for a while. I have literally cried about this and the fact I have had to up my dosage of Gabapentin as well to help with the TN.
I just wanted to share, I'm feeling a little alone. 
I need some hugs......
One good thing though, last weekend my dh and brother hooked up a A.C. unit in my bedroom window. 
I live less than 2 miles from the ocean but trust me it will come in handy in the next couple of months.
Avoid: Flares...........Seek and Find: Balance - So easy for me to forget.
Hugs,
