Sleeplessness from physical pain

What a rough day Thursday was. From
beginning and both i and Aubs just had rough days.  Sh has gone to bed wracked with sobs most days since
school started back up.  
I am one who needs a lot of sleep, but was so upset I stayed up until 12:00 With Pete just trying to unwind.  But at 1:30
I was awake again with my neck pain.  I had finally fallen asleep with an ice pack on it, so that is even stil cold, but it hurts too much to sleep. This has happened since Sunday night, make waking between 2 and 4 usually, and not being able to go back to sleep from the neck pain.  But I was at least going to bed normally, between 9;30 and 10 so
I got some sleep.  This is just not good.
EMG test is set for oct 8 at 2:30.  Acupuncture was to start that day at 4 but the other test will take too long that I can't do both so I start the acupuncture Oct 15.  It can't come soon enough.

Back to no negativity, even though reality on my Facebook, so my blog is for real life for now.  Tomorrow I will make it password-protected so only people who really want to know my pain can read it.

Yawn. I guess that would actually be today but in daylight hours.

K Journey Update!

People often ask me about my ketamine experience - especially since I’ve been doing it since the early days, before most clinics had protocols for mental health. So I wanted to share my journey: the awkward beginnings, the hope, the setbacks, and the healing. I’m an almost-50-yr-old mom to three adults, and have had PTSD since childhood, anxiety and depression since early childhood, but received no diagnoses until I was 30. I’ve been in therapy since my diagnoses. Ive been inpatient 10x (2007-2015), I’ve tried over 40 medications, many natural remedies, a healthier body, ECT shock therapy, TMS, genetic testing, and have been to Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic for my mental health. NOTHING helped until I tried Ketamine. I heard about it in 2015 and knew I wanted to try it. Unfortunately there were no clinics near me then, and the cost was $1500 per IV session. Not doable. I waited until 2017 when my pain clinic offered it, then at $350 a session no more insurance coverages. In 2020 my ...

Sleep vastly improved!

I can now stay up most nights until 9 and wake up at 7 feeling refreshed! This is HUGE! I still don’t do much during the day due to pain, but I feel hope inside and not constantly covered by a cloud of depression. I feel some anxiety that the treatment isn’t going to help the pain (maybe it is an underlying condition that a dr needs to get on top of? Or maybe I am just too sensitive?) But my anxiety is down to like a 3 from a 8-9 which is wonderful and my depression is down to zero from an 8-9. Thank you God! Thanks Nick for sticking with me and not giving up. I feel like I’m getting my life back! I’m still hoping to figure out this hand tingling and pain (again maybe pinched nerves in my neck too which we know are there, I’ve had hand tingling on and off for years this is just worse the last few days and I don’t know why, ketamine should decrease not increase pain.) I’m such an odd duck. 🤦‍♀️
