If you, by any miracle, have health insurance, get to a doc.

It could be something as easy to fix as sleep apnea or something that requires a mild upper during the day like provigil plus something to kill the aches. I find that killing the aches allows me to do something besides stagger between bed, bathroom and computer, albeit not a hell of a lot.

My doc dislikes the idea of putting a bandaid on pain (he has to deal with DEA goons, after all), but after 10 years he realizes I'm not particularly interested in spending my life in a narcotic haze and no longer questions it.
