Type 2 Life

I had the same problem when I was on them so mine got binned .
 
@Sable_Jan - I can take up to 150mg Tramadol a day and up to 400mg of Pregabalin = Lyrica a day. But, I am having injections every month of COSENTYX and so the dosage of the tablets are being reduced. My sleep is broken about every 20 minutes with changing position, as the pain just builds in certain joints.
 
Yes, I suppose that things today............


are not what they once were...............


--sigh--

 
You have my greatest empathy. Tramadol did nothing but make me itch....

I'm on 2x 75g Lyrica daily and 50mg amitriptyline at night. Plus my water tablet and BP pill.....
Have you tried a memory foam mattress topper? Mine's 4" and does take a lot of the pressure off
 
I don't have any boots but I'll still join you all for a bevvy or two
 
Tramadol makes me itch, too, but you're right about the memory foam. I have an 8" topper on my mattress and - oh my god - I do so love my bed!!! I did once try a memory foam mattress, although not one of the really expensive ones, but had to get rid of it. It was so soft that I just sank into it, and had to spend half an hour struggling on my back with my arms & legs flailing around like an overturned beetle, simply to get off it.
Not quite the elegant image I like to portray!

Hi Maureen! Maybe you read an old post of mine? I feel fine...
In fact, I'm more than up for putting the boots on and going for a booze up! We'd be a pair of real cheap dates, as I haven't had a drink at all this year either, lol
oh dear I do feel a t**t ! Must get glasses for close/reading, don't need for distance anymore, must have clicked on old post! Ok 2 cheap dates, first g&t on me, tried to get William to come but he's probably worried incase I go searching for a leprechaun after a couple of drinks!!! Get your boots on I'm booking the taxi, put your boots & skinnies on!!! Ha ha. You coming Liam? Anyone else ?
 
@Sable_Jan - Got mattress topper and a sheepswool on the bed, because I find it cold. But, I am more comfortable sat on the sofa like now with 4 cushions padded around me
 
Oh but you did make me laugh
 
That sounds just what I need to ward off early "I don't want to go back to work on Monday"-itis!

ha! ... the very reason I don't work often on a Monday - I have always disliked working them
 
Skinnies???? I don't have anything skinny these days - my hair's the only thing that's thinning!
 
Yes, but after a couple of vodkas I'd likely fall off them and break my ankle then we'd all end up spending the night in A&E
It sounds to me as if we're all cast from the same mould. What a pity we didn't all meet years ago, when we were at our most outrageous - what a riot that would have been!
