Another Doctor Visit

My poor body has just been through the wringer lately. I went back into the doc's office because I thought an infection I had a few weeks ago was either back or not completely gone.

Long story short, it's a brand-new infection!

More meds.

Then another yeast infection from the antibiotics.

So, more meds to counteract that side-effect.

Then, a different pain med, because the antibiotic will do something funky to my body that will make it so my regular pain med WON'T work.

Three scripts in one day! That's a record for me.

Easing Out Of It

Today, I'm at a Level 2 - this is according to the Fibromyalgia Pain Scale by Carol J. Johnson, which can be found, HERE.

That's alright. I can ignore many things - pain included.  Yesterday was a different story.

Yesterday, I needed my prescribed muscle relaxers, Advil, a natural muscle relaxer, ice, pillows and a gel stick from "The Happy Hempsters" (I think).  It took all day to get about 2.5 hours of relief; at which point it started up again. Fortunately, but that time I was at home and took a heavy dose sleeping pill.

July ended with a praise report...

No cancer

Still the tender body issues

Now the medical bills issues

Always the praise.

For it wasn't this ~ It would be something else.

I'll take this.

Thank you, Lord.

Arms Today

Today, it's the arms that don't like being attached to my main frame. Too bad for them. They have to stay put. I can't take them off!! I don't know why they ache today - I guess fibro doesn't need a reason.

The meds that my doctor gave me the other day -- they are way too strong for me. In fact, I think after a few days, they caused a jittery nervousness in my system.  I couldn't fall asleep like I normally did before I started the meds.  Then, after finally falling asleep, I didn't wake up until 9:30 a.m. yesterday and almost 10 a.m. today.  Normally, I'm awake by 6:30-7a.m. and I'm bouncing outta bed.  On these meds, I noticed that I'm half asleep, groggy, foggy in the brain and not functioning properly until Noon or later.  This just won't do.  So, I'm stopping this med.  I think I'll just ask for a 5 mg. Valium or something. This 30 mg. pill is way too strong.
