@colleenyoung Thanks for asking. Up thru night and took plain Tylenol, morning started out same as yesterday but will not be taking muscle relaxant again any time soon. I ended up phoning Telehealth latrer in day, free talk with nurse through government here in Ontario and I explained not urgent but told her what has been happening, she was very nice and listened and did suggest I see a dr. within 3 to 4 hours; but only place to go would be Emerge and its a 4 hour wait and last time when had some horrible "spells" at home, and Dr. said go home take Tylenol, so I decided not to go and wait for my GoodDoctors.ca phone appointment and made it for mid week ... just because I spoke ot someone at government Telehealth didnt mean I would get to see a Dr. at emrge any faster and also Saturday night, .... although I understand Its difficult for an emerge Dr. , you have not been his/her patient, they are stressed re time and can be held liable for what they do... and I felt I just wanted the conversation with a nurse to see if he/she thought it urgent.... but its been a painful life for me for a long time and I think I just needed a listening ear although felt quite ill.
She did give me the phone number of a pre-grief support line in a nearby community called Warm-line and I did phone. I see they have same or similar places run by volunteers r ? in parts of USA but we have none here in town where I live... . and staffed by people who have had first hand experience of illness/to the point of thinking about suicide etc and did phone and tell my mini-story... but I dont think they can give medical advice but he said some especially living alone, of all ages, make calls sometimes every day and a different person answering the phone each evening of the week 7 days a week.
I am discouraged because even mild otc pain killers should not be taken if have narrow angle Glaucoma. I felt nauseas today too my daughter visited and said to take a travel pill..Gravool.. but even these are not recommended with Glaucoma... so I just took half of one pill, but I feel its a constant worry and wonder if am going to wake up with no vision. But that muscle relaxant did its job yesterday, too well for me, scared me as I felt like a non-feeling Zombie. Daughter said, thats the idea, Mum, I said sorry dont want to get "drugged out" to not feel pain, but is this the only way out?
