The War, On Drugs

I've gone from completely stoned to back in pain and moderately stupid with time lurching along in weird fits. I don't know quite what happened to Saturday except I was in pain and then NBF came over and then I added pot to the mix and it helped a little and I slept and poked at my computer and then it was Sunday. Sunday I kept referring to things I did Friday as "yesterday" because I didn't feel like there'd been a Saturday, but last week feels like a million years ago. A few hours ago feels like a moment ago. I've been using the Norflex to kill the pain, and it seems to help but it knocks me out. I'll be upright and semi-functional for minutes or hours after taking it when WHAM! I can barely hold my head up or concentrate on whatever I'm in the middle of doing and I have to lay down. Some times I pass out right away, sometimes I just lay there. Then minutes or hours pass and I get up again until I pass out again. I spoke to my new neurologist today about my drug reactions and I had some trouble explaining myself but he seemed encouraged that the first few days on the Neurontin were less painful and he says the stoned/stupid feeling goes away in time.

My weird visual halucination thingies are really bad right now. I keep seeing flying bugs and realizing they're only spots in my vision. Good way to make me crazy fast.

I think I'll try reading in bed. See how that works out for me.
