Must be lovely to never be in chronic pain.

Anyone know anyone like that? I'd like to talk to them. Then I'd cry.

I wish I could stand up straight without the muscles in my back burning. Or spasming.

And damn it, espresso is still an effective pain reliever. Take that, ibuprofen and the general health indrustry.

Is it Friday? It is. It is.

I wish the world were made of Sqush pillows.

Getting worse. Slowly but getting. I am losing spoons quickly.

I took a dose of DL-Phenylalanine. It usually takes effect within twenty minutes. L-Tyrosine would be quicker, since DLPA converts to tyrosine, but the tyrosine is at home. I took one tyrosine capsule this morning. I should have taken two. These two supplements are very effective for lower back pain, as effective as any Advil or Bayer. Also, ashwagandha, which is anti-inflammatory and, from several reports, "is used to ease nerve pain such as sciatica, numbness, muscle spasm and back pain".

While I was walking to and from the sandwich shop for lunch, I could barely keep my back straight. Too tight. Things are too tight and they burn. I'm not even taking stairs, not even one flight. Hurts too much.

My feet feel numb. Sciatica and nerve pain. It's in my shoulders. Even my hands are tingling.

I wish I could remember the proper yoga stretches. I can't keep hobbling like this. I can hardly walk now.

... The phenylalanine has kicked in, after 45 minutes. I feel no sharp screaming twinge anymore, just dull warm throbbing which I can handle. I can even straighten up without wincing. Now let's see how long this lasts.

And I walk everywhere.
