I just need to get it out now and then...
I feel like I'm barely functioning at this point and it is so frustrating.
Taking inventory this morning:
My fingers, toes, and the bones at the top of my feet hurt. I understand this sounds like a small thing but it's likely a bit worse than what might initially come to mind. This is a splintery, sharp pain- it's rooted in the joints and radiates throughout the entire extremity.

Most of the joints in my body hurt, along with what feel like the tendons- I can't actually find any kind of comfortable position and no matter how I lay at night, part of me feels like it is being forcibly twisted out of shape.

My eyes routinely burn and hurt- they are so dry in the morning that pretty much my daily AM greeting to the world goes something like:
"Oh, that's consciousness... I think I'll open my eyes- HOLY SEARING PAIN BATMAN"

Then sometimes I feel super ill- nauseated- most of the day. Don't know why. It's just how things go.

And days like today? I also can't really breathe. I'm kind of wheezing and raspy (note: this also happens when I eat crazy exotic foods... like OMG OATMEAL).

This rant has been brought to you by the letter "F" and the words "my life".

Thanks for reading, this helps haha.

All that sounds very unpleasant. My mind is trying to do the "amateur MD" bit (I obviously watched House too much ... "sounds like one of those Symptom thingies..."). All I can really do is offer virtual hugs ((( Josie ))).

Do you have Sjogren's syndrome?

I thought I was the only person who had this. My eyelids don't want to open because it hurts so bad.

Of course, like you this is only one of my maladies.

Have you been checked out by a doctor? Or are you like me and have too many different ones.

Hope you get to feeling better.

*A* doctor?
[Collapses into pile of giggles on floor]

…sorry. Yes, I am seeing a few doctors, actually.
Yes too many different ones and thank you some other people get it!

I have a GP, obviously. [Psychiatrist as well but may be kicked over to a psychopharm depending]
Rheumatologist, chiropractor, neurologist.
I've seen but am going back to allergist and ophthalmologist.
Have yet to be referred to physical therapist, pulmonologist, gastroenterologist and another dietician.

I'm kind of like...

Really?
It's just me.
Also, if I actually manage to keep up with the chiropractor I end up out of the house completely every day of the week and eventually crash and burn just because of appointments, then everyone gets pissed at me.

Right... So, let's overload the sickysick because they are so bad off that all these appointments are so urgent and then get mad when they can't make all the appointments because... tada! They actually do feel as bad as we are saying they do. Haha.

I kind of feel like I live at my GPs and also the oral surgeon's right now.
So all those referrals are going to take the next five years...
*eye roll*

Plus I am having all this major dental crap happening lately- part wisdom tooth stuff and part results of poorly done dental work and the most recent procedure was a freaking trauma and a half so they could only work on one tooth.

I try to just look for the ridiculous in some of it at this point?
