Ugh. No sleep until 7 am.
I guess I can't take these pain pills anymore for my back pain.
Had the hiccups all night. All night! Also had trouble swallowing, and my face was beet red. I tried all of the remedies for hiccups, but nothing worked. They seem to be gone now, and my skin tone is back to normal.
I looked it up, and it looks like those are possible reactions to opiates.
That's why I hate opiates. I always get some weird reaction. Some of that reaction may also be due to the Prednisone. Both the opiates and the Prednisone should be mostly out of my system by now.
Fortunately, the pain is a little better this morning. I'm crossing all my fingers hoping this will get better, so I can get some work done.

I hope you can find something else as I hear you re: these drugs.
Some help and other do not.
I managed to get the local pharmacy that delivers to get my old medication back so I'm looking forward to getting rid of the crap they gave me as a substitute in Jan. due to "no longer available" status.
I hope you feel better very soon!
Take care! 
& recommend.
even if you are a weight lifter, if you are doing something while not in a good supportive position, like I did, you're still going to mess yourself up!
