Pain levels are as bad today as yesterday. I've taken four top-ups together, because three was doing nothing. But I don't see the point of taking the quantities I did yesterday, because it did fuck all for me. All it did do was make me completely fucking stoned and sick.

I have, however, found a position that for 40 minutes has stopped the neck pressure. I found the sling helped for a while, while I was sitting up, but gradually the neck pressure built back up, so it only lasted about an hour and a half.

I lay down and after a bit, the pressure eased. My left arm is going numb in this position, though, and my glasses are digging a whole in my nose. I'm going to have to move in half an hour, to take the next set of slow release pills and i'm scared I won't be able to get in the right position again. But if I don't take them, the pain I can already feel in my shoulder will rage out of control.

I'm going to make that next dose a triple mostly because I'm scared of the pain. But I don't actually believe it's going to help. There doesn't seem any point topping up though, unless I go straight to four pills. And I'm not sure even that did anything, though it could be partly why this position has relaxed the nerves.
