Diary of Doom

For those of you who are totally bored, prepared to be bored even more. This is my online Pain Diary, where I keep track of my pain from moment to moment. I keep it online so that it is accessible to me whereever and whenever I need access to it as well as my care-givers, particularly my resident Psychiatrist and Pain Specialists at the Multi-Disciplinary Pain Clinic at the University of Alberta Hospital.

Some terminology.
BP = Background Pain
BT = Break Through.
Dep = Depression
GAFF = Give A F**k Factor
Bn = Burning

BP & BT are usually prefaced by the "~" sign, meaning that it is a judgemental call on my part based on my own scale of pain from 0 to 10. 0 means no pain, no depression, no issues. 10 means fetal position, brain numbing, hurts too much to scream pain. Also can be used to denote depression so severe that I may have already jumped off a bridge some where. (little depression humour there ) Depression will either be spelled out or use Dep. Burning is a type of pain that feels like someone has poured gasoline and set it on fire on my skin - literally, a complete pain that even ripping, stabbing and tearing pain equally compares with or even subsists under! GAFF, I think is fairly self-explanitary. If you don't know what it means, you are either an innocent, or don't speak English. Drop me a line and I'll explain it to you.

In graphic detail.

So, here we go.

Saw Dr. S today. we decided to go ahead with methadone trial. He gave me two weeks to think about it, but wanted me to keep a diary again for comparison.
BP ~3-4 all day, 1 small BT in evening ~7. Slept ok, apparently snored a lot, BP in morning ~4's.

Edited to Add
I have made posts in this blog Protected so that only Members can read these "personal" comments as I re-thought over having this blog open for everybody and their dog to read. I want to know who has access, but don't care when or even IF they access. I would like to have some control over my personal posts LOL

If you are a trusted friend and want to read the protected posts, please sign up as a member of my Blog and you will then be allowed access to the remainder of this Blog's post. Of couse, if I don't know you, there's no way in hell I'm going to approve you!

Regards,

Edwin
