I just spent another sleepless night with such intense pain. I did try using a capsaicin solution a few times last night and today. (You can read about it on the Home Remedies page.) It did seem to help a bit. But still a very bad pain day. During the day it wasn’t as intense as it was overnight but it was up there enough for me to still rate it as a 9/10.

Despite having Covid, I’ve been eating my regular diet. Lactose-free yogurt or toast with avacodo for breakfast, mango or canteloupe for a morning snack, grapes later in the day, chai latte (with lactose-free milk) mid-morning are my regular everyday treats. Lunch might be homemade soup (chicken today) or nothing. Depends on if I’m hungry. Dinner/supper is whatever I feel like having. Nothing spicy or hot though.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
