[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 60501, member: 1991"] That was probably necessary for her. So very sad, but it's been brewing. Like a lot of these crises, they wait until you're better enough to cope at least a bit. If you pay for it today, it will still probably be worth it. I hope your pain levels aren't too out of control. If I've had an extra-active day and my pain levels are up, my pain specialist has told me, "Don't be brave, take extra medications to deal with the pain." The end result, if I'm careful to only take what I need, is I often end up taking less overall. Getting on top of the pain makes it easier to manage. It's better than not quite taking enough, then needing to top up with the maximum every three hours and wishing I could take more. Hit it hard first, and I can go back to every six hours. Does that make sense? Basically, I was told to not wait until I'm in agony, take something as soon as I feel the pain getting a bit too much and that should help me stay in control of it. Also, I never take pain medications to totally eliminate all pain - I always leave a little bit tapping me on the shoulder. Taking enough to knock out the pain would knock me out too - and I have to be on deck, coping. If you can rest up in the morning to compensate for the late night, then do so. It should reduce any fallout. Good luck and give kt a hug for me. My kt (easy child) had a few teary tantrums like this with me, too, trying to come to terms with the change in my ability.
