Once again I’ve been very slack with my updates – apparently doing two people’s jobs takes up quite a bit of time. Who knew?!
Anyway, I’ve persevered with 250mg of Pregabalin over the last few weeks. I can’t really decide if it’s the right thing to do or not. I’ve had increased pain, and more of the burning in my foot, but I’m reluctant to go to what would be the max dose as it then feels like I’ve got nowhere to go if things get bad. What I did discover at earlier this week is that the duloxetine makes a difference. I couldn’t understand why on Monday I was in so much more pain all day. I put it down to having had a very restless night, but when I came to take my evening meds – which is when I take duloxetine – I realised that, when I made up all my pill doses for the week on Sunday, I’d forgotten to put the duloxetine in. I took some on Monday evening, and had a much improved time of it that night and on Tuesday.
Still no appointment for the pain clinic, but today I had a call from the neuro-physio team to say they’d had some cancellations next week. Unfortunately I couldn’t make either of the cancellation slots, but they have been able to book me in the week after for an assessment.
