To take a pain pill or not to take a pain pill.
If I take one, I might be able to relax and sleep (albeit weirdly). But I will be useless all day tomorrow because of the residual "hangover" effect.

If I do not take one, I might get to sleep later, but I will not be "hungover" tomorrow.

GAAAAAAAAAAH

1. As an RN I say take it.
allowing your body to rest is so much more beneficial in the long run.

3. My dear KitchenWitch!
Take it, sweetie...

I suspect that even the wierd sleep will enable you to function better than you would without it...

Um...I think!

Honestly, I'm not sure...

Sorry you're hurting, in any event...:hug:

5. Yeah, I am really leaning that way.
This whacked out weather pattern lately has my hip in a tailspin.

6. Speaking of pain pills, KitchenWitch....
I told you yesterday about my neck and it was just driving me crazy last night and I couldn't sleep because I was so uncomfortable, so I started tearing up all the nooks and crannies looking for any old pain pill prescriptions and I found some! Naprosyn 500 mg and Flexeril and there were still pills in them! So, I took one of each and I slept like a baby until almost 9 AM! The spasm is easing now too! Thanks for all your help and advice! :D
