Latest Update...sorry its been delayed

I apologize for not coming sooner to update the Blog, but I have been having a rough time with pain since Monday and haven't been online much.
Well, the Friday experiment at the hospital with the Xylocaine was a success and I have been given the meds Mexitiline and Carafate for my pain. The Carafate is an anti-ulcer drug that he gave me to make sure I protect my stomach because the Mexitiline has a tendency to cause nausea. So, I have sent in my script to drugstore.com and should be starting the meds sometime next week when I get them.
I still haven't gotten my Lidoderm patches yet, but I have started the Baclofen on Monday. The muscle relaxant has helped but the flare has been so bad that my back froze up early Monday morning and I could barely walk. I was in rough shape.
Yesterday, I got my trigger point injections in my shoulders and I am in quite a bit of pain today. The injections sites are very painful but that is normal for me. I am feeling better but very tired from the Baclofen and the flare. I hope the flare clears up soon so I can do simple things like shower and do errands/chores. I have a ton of dishes to do but they have been sitting and since my husband works he hasn't had time to do them either. Thank goodness for paper plates or else it would be worse.
Well, I am off to lay down on the couch for the day. I will try and update as soon as my new meds come in and I am feeling better.
