Given the way the two medications together shut me down, last night I decided to try just the prescription-strength NSAID at bedtime. Well, bedtime-snack time, since they have to be taken with food.
Bad idea. I could not get comfortable. Every way I laid made my back hurt in a slightly different manner. I got very little sleep until sheer exhaustion drove me into two longish (90 - 120 minutes) bouts of intense dreaming that tapered off into deeper early sleep this morning. The six o'clock alarm was like a sword made of electric light, swung by a drunk and angry Edison.
The wizard smote me and I managed to feed the cats before laying down again, for an hour of fitful dozing among rising pain.
So guess what I have planned after breakfast? No, don't guess. This is the last sunny day of my vacation and I'm taking the pills as prescribed and going back to bed.
