Do you ever wake up at, like, 3:00 a.m. with your feet on fire? Just because you used new medicine for neuropothy and you get a chemical like burn from it on all TEN toes. And, then, like, you use cold water, aloe gel, cold water, belly hurts and you eat a graham cracker (that you wake Husband up to go get because you are too busy sweating and almost fainting, so you figure after he carts you back to bed, he can go downstairs, right? I mean, he's already up). Anyway, then you can't find the Solarcaine for burns, so you wake Daughter up (by now it's 4:00 a.m.) and she crawls up under the cabinet and finally locates it. She goes back to bed, but when she hears me tell Husband I think I'm going to throw up she barrels down the stairs and hides in the sun room. You get relief for maybe ten minutes before the burning starts again, so you give up and take a Benadryl, which keeps you knocked out all morning and drowsy and thick headed (more than usual) all day. It doesn't help the feet much, and you wind up washing everything off before you pass out at 6:00 a.m. and putting Desitin and socks on, which helps a little.
Do you ever have nights like that?
Me, too.
