Me, the junkie.

After cutting down on the pain killers last week and consequently feeling like I'd been run over by a truck, I decided not to repeat that particular experiment. So, took a "cocktail" right after taking my injection last night and another one right after waking up. This is the first time I've done two cocktails, usually I do one and then maybe take a couple of panadols in the morning.

The difference between today and last Monday? Huge. Slept like a baby, woke up with a headache, but that went away with the second round of painkillers, and otherwise I've only felt a bit cold. Even exercised the dog and did some gardening for 2 hours without being punished for it.

They do. I'd never taken ibuprofen before my MS nurse suggested this combination, but they really take the joint pain and aches that the paracetamol don't.

I've heard about people not being able to keep them down, though. :(

Yeah, I've had that result twice now, so I've stopped trying. They did have time to work before making a return visit, but I thought it was a fairly high price to pay.
