Thanks, you all, I've calmed down a lot today. My physical therapist says I may just have a temporary surge in pain because orthopods are guys with power tools and like to knock things around, including nerves. It may blow over in a few days.
My pharmacist, who is actually a really great guy, laughed his tail off at me, then explained about the 2% of people thing and told me that people on pain meds will forget to eat and get such low blood suger they get freaky. He told me to force down some decent food, and he was right, it really helped my mood immediately. And my pdoc raised my selegiline- it's anti convulsant as well as anti depressant and thats why I was doing so well on it for so long.
I think I'm just out of slack for the whole damn business and lost it this last week. If the pain continues to be this bad I just need to get a pain management guy. I haven't been stay in bed all day depressed in years and it scared me.
Well today I got dressed and made phone calls. Maybe it's getting better.Miss Liz
