So glad that this semester has finally come to an end.
The stress of the route I drove the past two semesters proved to be too much for my physical (and emotional) health. My chronic pain levels went off the chart, and I now have pain in joints I did not have pain in before. The anger and frustration from all the reckless drivers I encountered caused my blood pressure to become elevated. Not to mention the deep depression and despondency brought on by all the extra pain. Here's hoping that most of this corrects itself now that I'm no longer driving THAT route. Needless to say, I won't ever pick it ever again. |

My pain is off the charts. The fog is so bad I feel like the Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz (no brain).

I am considering medical MJ but know nothing about it. I have heard that its expensive here. I have a small rx for a low dose opiate but I am not comfortable with this being the treatment option.

Yesterday & Today Be Like ...
Kinda gotta accept the blame though, because ... What studies have shown about sugars and how they impact inflammation and pain are soooo true! I treated myself to a turtle sundae at Culver's on Wednesday and BAM!!! Just like that ... Ow! Ow! Ow! I will have to reserve treats like that for very rare and special occasions! Is and isn't kinda worth it in a conflicted sort of way ... Know what I mean? |

I think I may have and abdominal hernia again but one that goes in and out. The one I had in 2013 was only found during exploratory surgery because they never were able to feel it on examination. So I am going to make an appointment but I worry that I will be told its nothing. Like I feel it especially when I use the bathroom (sorry). Would a cat scan show it?

My favorite chair at work is no more!
It was light weight & the arm rests were the perfect height to help me ease myself in and out of said chair. Some people find it difficult to comprehend just how painful moving heavier objects around can be. Alas, it had gotten old and worn and was no longer aesthetically pleasing to the eye so off to surplus it went! I am actually a little sad and weepy over this. I'm sure some of my coworkers think I'm a whiny-@$$, but I don't care ... They'll never understand ""IT" unless they've got "IT", but I hope they never have "IT" so they'll be able to understand "IT" ... Arthritis, Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain SUCK! |

Pfrog, I had the same thing happen with my desk chair at work. I'd gotten the agency to buy me a chair under ADA. It got worn looking so my boss got rid of it. I ended up with a chair that left me in agony by the end of the day.

my christmas day wasn't anything to really write home about.
I was alone for all of it, I didn't get what I wanted (which was a given even before the day had started, I just didn't want to admit it), plus: my turkey dinner was less than average I am still feeling depressed today though, despite taking down the christmas tree. I don't know why it's such a big thing for me... when I take down the tree I get so emotional plus side to christmas is that I wasn't in much pain sat quite comfortably in my chair yesterday watching the muppet christmas carol |

struggling a lot with pain this week
this afternoon I watched an australian drama on tv, and it just felt good to be doing absolutely nothing- just watching the show I mean: it would have been even nicer if I could relax, but like that was going to happen: relaxation just doesn't happen for me |

it is a high pain day, and it is not what I need because I spent the night having really intense flashbacks and doubting my safety (really, really intense). I'd just like to move about like a regular human being for once and not creak (I'm in my 20's and by bones creak). that is bad in itself
think I'm okay apart from that, just chilling on here, checking other emails- then I'm going to watch some catch up tv from yesterday and I have my fan on: this is always a bonus |

I had a peaceful night. I didn't sleep at all, (which would have obviously made it bettter), but compared to most nights it was rather quiet in the way
of thoughts or flashbackk mentally I am doing okay today, mood's good and I've eaten fruit (so a nice healthy breakfast) physically though I wish I was in another body. it really hurts |
