I felt bad for not updating much lately, so here we go. My doctor increased my clonidine patch to two clonidine 0.3mg/day patches (0.6mg/day). In short, it made me sleepy for two days, and extremely weak for a week. I'm recovering now, but I'm worried because my legs still hurt. On a positive note, it is helping with other symptoms, like my headaches.
Christmas was hard, but I'm surviving. I'm praying that Santa was a little late with my Christmas wish, a pain doctor willing to manage my pain. Maybe, my future PM doctor is waiting for New Years and their New Years revolution to help more Medicare & Medicaid pain patients.
I wish everyone a happy, pain-free New Year

P.S. Got a Canon EOS Rebel T3 digital SLR for Christmas. I haven't had a chance to play with it because it was just delivered yesterday thanks to FedEx taking THREE WEEKS to deliver it. I'm so excited! Remember, hobbies are great distraction techniques.
