I agree with Chrispy for pain. My step father was helped with pain in this way while he had cancer ...anyway, what does the dr say about the pain and no sleep? Prednisone wires you out I know from my sister. Can you get some xanex ?

Supposedly, this amitryline is supposed to help with sleep and pain.  I am on the lowest dose and get to double it next week.  Nothing so far. 

Thanks all for the thoughts :)  I am a little confused and don't know what is what at this point.  It's really upsetting b/c I was doing so well with the gym and what-not and then this.  

Hey Colleen - been away so missed this - so sorry you are feeling so bad and I can't even imagine how frustrated you are ... but the gym will still be there( although I am smiling a bit when I remember the sweaty monkeys comments - and how hard it was to get there in the first place !) Concentrate on getting better - - and no one ever said medicinal cookies were a bad thing !

What like in Brownies?

 

There is an abundance of different things that you can eat now a days.  Anything from Candy to oils to flower that you can cook with.  I cannot provide you with links right now...as I am at work but check it out.  There was an amazing documentary on the Discovery Channel about this very thing.  Once I saw how it was helping children with Cancer etc.  I became a complete believer.  It is not just for stoners ya know.   I know that it seems crazy... but there really is some validity to this.  I truly believe in it.  If all else fails... google it.  ;)
