I've been awake since 4-something. I just kept waking up and waking up, and then my computer rebooted on its own at 4, and that was just the last straw. I hate this kind of insomnia. I'm usually up with the sun anyway, which is about 5:30, but I think I counted 4 hours of sleep last night, and there were awake-gaps in there. Maybe the leg pain was waking me up. I don't know. It was pretty bad, but it usually is before I've taken my Ibuprofen and muscle relaxer.
All I have to do today is pick up that refill on the lidocaine patches. I hope it helps. I've never really figured out whether those things do much. They're a topical analgesic, but when I touch my skin over my thigh where it hurts so much, my skin is numb. The spasms are happening anyway; I don't really get any of this, except that my doctor says it may have to do with the sciatic nerve.
I might go back to sleep in awhile here.
