Not having a good night
went to a comedy show left halfway through cause i hurt too much sitting in the chair, and i couldnt stay awake
joints have been worse last few days im up too 75mg of lyrica, so far nothing. I actually think im worse, maybe cause i stopped the mobic? i thought it wasnt doing anything except messing with my stomach dunno
ive just been a bit down last few days, just i dunno cant explain school has been way to stressfull. going to the ballet tomorrow that will be fun
So sorry LittleMermaid! Here a smile for ya
take care
Little - I have only realized since my diagnosis that the reason I couldn't keep up in college and dropped out was because I was having low MCTD symptoms, and I knocked myself out trying so hard, I wore myself out physically. I wish someone had advised me not to try so hard for a perfect record and the "D" stands for diploma. Happy Holidays. Cathy
Sorry, did not mean to upset you more.
Mermaid - I am at 150mg Lyrica. You can go as high as 600 mg which I intend to get to.I hope these following pics bring a smile. RoxyPictures you don't see everyday
??? McLogic gone wrong...
roxy 39417.9175231481 Get better soon!
Oh and maybe ask about Provigil (sp?) to help keep ya awake. Maryblooms says it has helped her a great bit with her fatigue. Maybe it can help you.
thanks getting in bed and reading a book :)You know, everybody has a horror with organic chem and everybody knows it. It's the freshman class from hell.
Hugs,
Pip
I was just going to post a topic asking how you were. Im sorry the Lyrca isnt helping the way you had hoped. And sorry that school isnt going your way either. Is there a way you can get tutor for Organic Chem? I think I remember Jas having a few good tips about it.
Hope this next week gets better for you. Big, gentle hugs to you.
Good morning, LittleM!! I hope today finds you feeling better and in good spirits!
It's very easy to start feeling down in the dumps when you're in pain. Also, it sounds like you have a lot going on with school. Try not to stress too much about your classes because stress can actually bring on more pain. I know it's easier said than done. Just remember once you pass this class, you're done with it! You are doing an amazing job keeping up, especially with the added challenge of having RA. You are incredible!
You might want to give your RD a call and let them know how you've been feeling. They may be able to write you a script for something to help you out while the other drug gets to working. It's all about you being as comfortable as possible.
I'm sure your trip to the ballet will come out a lot better than your trip to the comedy club. Try to focus on the beautifully choreographed dances instead of your pain and what's going on school. It will probably be really relaxing and you definitely deserve the break!
Thank you for coming to the boards for support. We are here for you! Hope you have a superfantastic and extra comfortable day!!
Thanks soooooo much MrsAlexander :)
lyrica isnt helping the joints but i did sleep amazingly sounly last night didnt wake up even when my roommate mate came back....
About orgo- i DID get a tutor-did so much worse on this last test dispite that....its the soph class from hell haha not freshman-thank goodness i didnt skip right into orgo, i could have i passed out of general chemistry but decided to take it anyway, had i taken it as a freshman im betting i would be an english major now lol im a science person science has never been hard for me. School is VERy stressfull. ive never had to worry about getting less then a C ussually i worry about getting a B or a C! im trying not to stress but not passing this semester means i cant take next semester and i dont get credit for the class which i need for my bio majjor which means i need to switch majors OR take it again-its a full year course!
the comedy thing was on campus so luckily i just left and walked back to my dorm. I planned this ballet thing and im gonna make it fun. I love ballet, i dance a lot soo i really enjoy watching the professionels. I actually have to tap dance for an hour today, im not sure how well that will go, i may just go and record the dance so i can practice later on my own cause my joints are not up for dancing today...im really behind in the dance though even though i go to ALL rehersals....i just am slow to pick it up.
i dont want to go up on prednisone.....ive been trying to get off it for past 2 years, still on 5mg....supposed to be going to 2.5 but i havnt. i think i should go back to the mobic i was taking a few weeks ago i didnt think it was helping but now without it joints are much worse and stomach is much better lol
ahhhh i dunno. got to study a little bio. Thanks so much you guys. i have amazing friends at school but they just cant get this.......Sorry to hear about your ochem troubles. they might do the retakinng class thing. but there is No way i want to redo this whole semester, i took the 5 classes! many of them i need for gen req and my major.....
i would take equations over english too...i LOVE chem just not orgo :( Make an appointment with one of the guidance counselors and see what your options are. You certainly have had much more to deal with than the average college student!!! i dunno. i really thing that orgo would be this horrible even if i didnt have the jra and everything. i am taking to my advisor on tues though. I just tend not to bring the health stuff up as excuses cause i really dont feel like it has so much to do with it A smile for you...Poor baby, you have a lot on you plate and dealing with school and this disease is no fun. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. Hang tough. You're stronger than IT is. thanks-well i didnt tap dance....i recorded the dance so i can practice on my own later. Somthing is wrong with my back? my back doesnt ussually hurt...but im seeing the ballet and so excited :)
