Last night was the first time in several weeks I've gone longer than 8 or 9 hours without taking extra strength acetaminophen for pain in addition to the Methadone and SSRI. It was actually 12 hours between doses of medication.
I also haven't slept this late in longer than I can remember. Usually I'm up by 6 getting meds and waiting for them to kick in, or I'm up all night and then sleeping all day. Last night except for the inevitable trips to the bathroom I slept from 11 or so till almost 9. It felt good.
The only thing is that now I hurt from not taking the meds and I'm waiting for the ones I took an hour ago to kick in.
I'm on day 2 of the full 10 mg of Lexapro today. So far the only irritating side effect I've noticed is dry mouth but that's not really a big deal. I just drink more fluids.
Tomorrow is the hearing. I'm torn between excitement and apprehension. I'm hoping it goes well but I'm not going to hang all my plans on that.
I just want to make my point and hope that the judge sees how this is affecting me.
If not, then I'll keep pursuing it until I get approved.

I've been here on earth for just over half a century. For the last several years, I've had a chronic pain condition as my constant companion. I've learned to value each and every day simply because it is there; to love and appreciate my family and friends; to enjoy life and love no matter the restrictions on my time or activity; and, most importantly, to love and worship God in any way I can regardless of my limitations.

The older I get, the more I lean on God. He is my all in all and from Him I get the strength to go on from day to day. Currently He has allowed me to be afflicted with a nerve-based disability that has taken me out of the mainstream workplace and changed the way I live my life; in this, I see more and more how dependent I am on Him for every moment of every day. Without Him, I am nothing. With Him, I can do all things.

"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive." Jeremiah 29:11-14, Amplified Bible
