you really are having a tough time , hope you get away and have a well deserved break x

The spasms in the back are almost gone, the disc pain remains but nothing like it was.
My neck is particularly painful today, it might be the traction she put it in.

I go back to her on Monday so will see what she has to say.
These drugs are causing me to sleep nearly all day and all night!!!
I'm not high on them just half dead!!!

My lovely consultant had contact me three times today - I flatter myself I must be special
I think I must be poorly sick

Love Gogs xx

If it's any consolation you may become accustomed to the drugs a bit so that the fatigue lessens.

But I feel for you. Yesterday I got up at 9:45 after a full night's sleep, went back at 12:45 for 2 hours then fell asleep on the sofa for another 2 hours in the afternoon. Went to bed at 10:00 and slept all night.

The problem is that the disease itself causes fatigue. Lump all the drowsy making drugs on top and you could sleep for England couldn't you?

Once you get established you may find a sleep pattern that works for you without being comatose all day! It did for me.

My family understand my sleep needs now - and that helps. I used to find myself apologising all the time and then getting told off for apologising.
