NF strikes again

Dammit dammit dammit. Shit shit shit.

So yeah. Last night the nerve pain in my right leg was back with a vengeance, strong enough to keep me up. I didn't get to sleep until some time past 6am (thank the gods today is Sunday).

[For those of you who haven't been reading me for years and don't know what I'm talking about, read here.]

Ibuprofen helped some, but not enough. And I don't have anything stronger anymore. Which means I'm probably going to have to go back to the neurologist and hope he's willing to give me medication without making me do an MRI to confirm what I already know is there, considering an MRI would mean me paying my entire deductible at once out of pocket and I definitely can't afford that until after Christmas.

Damn. I wonder if this one is really progressing faster than the last one or if it just feels that way because now I know what it is?

Oh man. I'm sorry. That sucks. Take care. Let me know if you need anything.

I'm sorry. I hope you can get some appropriate medication without too having to spend a lot.

at least you *do* know what it is... I've had a numb spot on my left leg that no one can explain and a knot in my back that can be felt but all equipment insists isn't there for the past 8-10 years...hasn't caused any problems that I can see, but... it's just strange you know?

Yeah, it took about 6 years to figure out what the first one was. So yeah, now I know what they are but sadly there's no 'cure'

Crap. Sorry.

Oh hun ;_; I read the past post.

Isn't there anyway you can check out a Free clinic or some other service to get the MRI?

Chronic illnesses are really something aren't they? Mine at least respond to medication, but I know that even managing a chronic illness takes a toll on the body. I wish you wellness, please be okay.

I hope you're feeling better now, and that your writing is going well too - looking forward to the next part of "Comrade"!

It's doing ok. Mostly just twinges at the moment. I'll deal with the rest when it gets to that point :)

And I am working on Comrade, I promise :)
