Day 89

Another really rough night, the pain in my legs woke me up and I had to go downstairs to get more pain relief at 3am. The pain did not abate at all today until about 2pm when I took some pain killers - pain relief really is the correct phrase! I called the doctor with regards to the levels of medication I take to manage this and he said it's ok for me to try and bolster up my levels before I go to bed so that at least I can try and have an undisturbed night. The problem I have is that when I take the pain killers, my kidneys ache, regardless of how much I drink to flush them through. And I have had my first ever nose bleed today.. not an event I feel like celebrating but it shows the hammering my body is taking at the moment. However, I feel better than I did this time yesterday, can actually feel myself coming out the other side of this again, my body getting back to normal. Very Phoenix and ashes scenario! I will be better again tomorrow and the day after that. Difference being is that this time I know it's not been for nothing, all this pain and discomfort has been worth it.

Just thought you would like to know, its been 4 hours since I wrote that and I have come out the other side of the pain again - usually its the Wednesday morning that I wake up feeling better but I actually felt the transition to humanity this afternoon!
