Been taking brain befuddlers over the last 24 hours to reduce the pain in my back. Works pretty well, but leaves me with less than a complete train when it comes to thought. Not liking this effect is one of the strongest guards against addiction, that and limiting use to times of genuine pain.

Like the low-lying mental cumulus the back pain comes once in a while. Limits movement and reminds me to appreciate those hours when it is absent.
