TENS...nine...eight...

I definitely want to be sleeping but a particular monster, of the pain variety is making that currently impossible. Once personified as a fuzzy but sketchy orange character it's one of those nights where I'm hollering for him to leave me alone and he's laughing. I'm TENSing and it is helping, but nevertheless this takes time because although I could fall asleep with it on because it makes me feel so much better...that would be back. It has automatic shut-off! No fear! But...I'd probably get tangled in wired and rip the electrodes off...haha... BAD PLAN. So...I blog and wait for the monster to be forced into submission by the modulating electric current which honestly is comparable to a soothing massage. I loveeeeeee it. It still astounds me how electricity can take such intense deep rooted, ridiculous pain and soothe it into submission. Given, when I turn the TENS off relief could semi-remain or no-longer exist in any form. There is still hints of pain there, as usual, daily life around these parts, but the pain of the past few days, tonight especially, was getting to that going crazy stage. I mean my normal level would be that for most people so let's think a moment... no wonder I can't sleep. URGH. Of course it is doing its pretty color show too, bright reddish/purple and freezing cold, though a bit better since I showered and am TENSing. For those of you completely lost... we're discussing a crazy pain disease, RSD...learned about it...began the battle...going on 6 years this October. No breaks from pain ever, fun times. I don't usually whine about it, on the new "happy blog". the old blog focused on it, but I'm not "supposed" to do that. It is just what has led me here, to blogging this evening so, it is alright. I'm indifferent, same old same old, I know what needs to be done just annoyed, happens to the best of us ;-p
