guys, hi, forgive me, i'm in soo much pain today..

I called my dr, for an emergency appt..
 I'm taking all these major pain meds and after 12 hrs, of sleep, i still woke up in such pain, that i even had to shut the door
on my cat, bc i was just like , i was just screaming inside, ya know and couldn't be around anyone..
 
If anyone mentions exercise, seriously, I WILL scream, i walked to my mailbox....minor stretches, and the pain..
gawd.. F... f.. and F!!!!!!!
 
I feel like i just had surgery and am waking up in pain..
no specific , besides the usual Major places, for me, wrists/hands and knees..
, just Ow all over, achey.. and surely vicodin, valium and my major Opiate Opana, should.. note Should be doing
Something!!!
 
Sleep, gawd i LOVE that, when i finally can sleep.. tho i'm basically unconscious, don't think anything could wake me..
 
and here, i am wanting to make travel plans, visit people, and have a fun summer.. am i kidding myself?
 
sorry, i know others are worse, it just doesnt help and i knew you guys would ..
 
thanks for letting me vent.. i'm just soo upset!!!
i try sooo hard, to be positive... but this.. this is too much!
 
and being alone, ...i just can't deal today..
note, i'm just too grouchy and hugs to anyone else who needs them.. just can't post today~ except this! lol..

 

Whispered2008-04-23 15:24:03Sorry you're feeling so bad Whispered.  Do you have a bath that you can have a good long soak in?  I know the thought of the agony of getting dressed after a bath or shower can put you off having one, but why not just give the bod. a quick flick over with the towel then crawl back into your warm bed. 
 
Also do you have a good book that you can try to lose yourself in? 
 
Using extra pillows help a lot too.  I have to sleep with one between my knees and another under whichever arm is on top if laying on my side.  If on my back I have a pillow across my chest and rest both arms on it. 
 
Hope you're feeling better very soon
 
 
i am sorry whispered.    i completely understand. 
 I'm so sorry.  I hope the doctor will be able to get to the bottom of your pain and get rid of it. 
 
 
HI Whispered, I can relate to how bad you feel, just like most people on here.  I feel so bad for you, I usually just rest in bed with an electric blanket on, how about a short term pred pack, that really is our saviour when we are this bad.  Try to comfort and spoil yourself a little, no a lot, you deserve it!  I have given up making plans to go places, I always end up letting people down, so I just decide on the day, a pain for the family I know, but they all understand thank God, I will pray for your fast recovery.  Hugs Janie.
It is so awful when the pain is soooo bad.
I hope you start feeling better soon .
Lots of hugs to you !!
 
I really understand
Whisper......I hope the pain stops for you and soon! Hang in there, it's bound to be better.
take care
Whisper, have you heard back from your doctor yet? I'm sorry you are in so much pain. I agree with the others, a nice hot soak in the tub and crawl into bed sounds heavenly. An electric blanket turned to high would be the icing on the cake. Feel better soon sweetie, I know how miserable you are feeling when you don't even want kitty around and just want to be left alone.
 
Gentle hugs to you,
Deb
I am so sorry but unfortunately, I too, understand all too well.  I can't tolerate a whole heating blanket but I do love my heating pads.  I would kill for a nice big bath tub, we have an old house and a VERY small tub and well, I am not a small girl.  I am sitting at my desk at work with a microwaveable neck bag around my neck.  I should be home in bed but thats not an option.  I too, try to remain happy but sometimes you just want to scream ENOUGH, haven't we suffered enough already!!!!  Hang in there.  When you are ready, let kitty back in for some snuggling. THANK YOU , !!!
tHank You  and  THANK YOU!!!

 You guys rock, i seriously couldn't have got thru the day, yesterday, w/o your support and just saying

 "you understand" and hugs
 
Thats everything!!!
 
I woke up this morning, after 3 hrs, of sleep (ohh yeah 3 hrs, w/ vicodin, atarax, darvocet, valium and opana)! (taken within 1-3 hrs, of each other)..
 
and on my brain, i was just trying to figure out, what was different, what did i do the day before, that made me in such agony??  I drank my water juice jug.. instead of water~ TANG, lol
 
i live in southern ca,  inside its been a nice 73-75 degrees at night.. but I still turn on my oil radiator heater...
EXcept for the night before the  hard pain hit.. i decided not to use it...  It HAD to be that!!.. thats the only thing, majorly different. .. seems minor, but I don't think so..
 
So , i really feel for you guys, who live in the colder climates, which is most, lol,  but man, I would be in such agony..
thats also why i don't swim..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway, its soo odd, to wake up, feel the usual uggy, lol, but nothing like yesterday. This is the weirdest disease..
and thankfully, my caregiver is coming over today!!
hoorah..
 
ohh yes, I did hug my cat, when i got myself under control..
(emotionally)
and called for the other one, they're my babies!!!
I always know when something is way off, when I don't even want to be around them...(usually  manic-d stuff)..
 
and yes, i did take the hot bath w/ epsom salts.. and stayed off the computer, most of the day.. slept a lot..
 
ohhh also, i thought my period was starting and took
Darvocet and that REALLY helped!!! 9 at night.. very odd..
(thats kinda a minor pain med, for me)...
 
I'm writing this stuff , down in a journal!!
 
just THANK YOU!!!
 
hugs to all, I just really Really appreciate YOU and its also weird, bc i look totally normal....
 
I'm keeping the oil  HEAT radiator ON, at night and covered w/ blankets during the day, when watching tv!!
