My current pain level is about a 6-7 when I wake up these last few days. The pain is an overly sensitive patch of skin on the tops of both feet. It is painful to be in the shower with the water hitting them. After I have taken my morning meds, then pain level subsides to a 3-4.
The ulcer on my left shin has healed. I have a new ulcer on my left ankle. The two ulcers on the top of left foot are still there.
I am taking these meds currently:
ASA 325 mg1 daily
Foltx tab 1 daily
Pentoxyfylline 400 mg 1 tab TID
Tramadol 37.5/325 mg 2 tab TID
Gabapentin 600 mg QID
Remeron 15 mg QHS
I am going to talk to my psychiatrist about the possibility of increasing my dose of Remeron. I have trouble sleeping at night; I am restless. I have increased stress in my personal life. I have increased thoughts I now associate with depression: hopelessness, despair and lack of appetite.
I will start now to track my weight. I weigh 137.5 lbs. I normally weight around 145 lbs. I hope that increasing my dosage will decrease my depressive thoughts and I will be hungry more often. I would ultimately like to weigh 150 lbs. I think that would be a healthy weight for me.
