Day #4
Tuesday, 27 November 2012
Woke up at 8am and was in pain. Pain on left (L) side of neck, present especially when moving.
Required medication for the pain; 'Nurofen Zavance' (sodium ibuprofen dihydrate (256mg)) x2. Will take 2x more in the afternoon and evening.
Went back to bed and slept. Woke at 10:30am and got out of bed. Pain is lessened but still present. (I can't imagine what it would be like without pain medication!)
I've noticed increased energy throughout the day; a decrease in the afternoon 'brain fog' that would have normally set in prior to the treatment, as well as a feeling of being present and at peace. My social anxiety seems to have subsided, and I feel much more confident when I'm near people.
I haven't felt this level of confidence and peace for a number of years, and can only - though it is only Day #4 since the treatment - attribute it to the Atlas Profilax treatment.
I hope that this continues!
I went to work today despite the pain being worse than yesterday when I actually had the day off.
Neck pain persisted throughout the day, worsening mid-afternoon.
By eight p.m. I had reached the daily quota for the ibuprofen medication and was not feeling very happy about that. I may need to change to a different pain relief agent with a higher daily intake limit.
A massage from my partner later that night at around nine thirty p.m. had actually provided near-instant relief, allowing me to move around with fear of the pain from earlier today.
Laying in bed to sleep was easily accomplished; no pain, rather a feeling of discomfort in the muscles on the left (L) side of neck.
It is now 3 a.m. on Wednesday, 28 November 2012. Perhaps I now have 'too much' energy, because I can't get to sleep, and I don't feel very tired.
