After much faffing about and attempts to order, Boots finally got me some muscle relaxants, Baclofen, on Saturday. The maximum dose is 100mg and I'm down on 5mg - the smallest pill on the market is 10mg so I have to cut them in half which is good as the higher dose side effects can be show stopping - respiritory and cardiac depression. It can stop your heart and breathing, admittedly mostly in the elderly but still...
So I started taking them and to my immense suprise it relaxed my foot for the first time since I got some magic cannabis over christmas. This meant I could walk in a more mechanically-friendly way which in turn took the pressure off my arthritic knee. I know, I'm a wreck of a man. All of which was good. What was less good is that I was high as a kite all weekend. Absolutely spaced out - for the first time I could finally see what my peers had seen in Ketamine! Luckilly that passed by Sunday night and now its fine - either you build resistance to the side effects or I've got used to it - so at least I can work on it. Otherwise it will just have to be a naughty weekend treat where I relieve the pain and destress but have to vegetate in front of Dancing on Ice or Harry Hill's TV Burp... certainly nothing intellectually challenging!
