i should be thankful/happy tho (see spelunker, lookin for positives
i should be thankful, cuz i got diagnosed so soon, and got the medicine stuff that i needed right away. and that i dont have much pain, i heard some kids REALLY hurt alot. so, i should be happy my pain is minimal, see im positive.
and more positives... the mtx works, obviously, cuz the pain goes away
still, i guess i had to whine to somebody about my ankle, im such a baby sometimes
whenever im sick or in pain, i have to tell EVERYONE... which might be sorta rude...
You're in the right place to complain. ;)
Have you tried putting ice or heat on your ankle? I hope the MTX works right away. *hugs*
oh i wish i could, i always ask my mom for some ice, but she says no
all the time, it gets me super annoyed.
me thinkin to myself, ugh im in pain and all i want is ice
if i could, i'd get the ice myself. we do have heatin pads too, but idk how to use them either. all too confuzing for me.
i'll just suffer i guess, im going to bed in a little while, hopefully i'll sleep thru it. altho if u saw another of my posts, u know i frequently wake up at night.
and my parents r both sleeping now, so i CANT even ask them, ugh, whatever...
Why won't she let you have ice? I've found recently that when my ankles hurt, I put a bag of frozen peas on them. Someone (I think it was Jas?) said they have these bracelet-like wraps that you can heat and chill that work tons better.
The heating pad shouldn't be too confusing - plug it in and turn it up. :)
At your next doctor visit, make sure you let them know you're having trouble sleeping.
idk, she doesnt tho, i remember one night my knee was all red and hot, inflamed
and hurt like h*ll, i was beggin for some ice and she sayd no. so that sux.
august 19th is a loooong time away, i just had a doctor appt. recently, last monday actually.
we always tell him about my sleeping trouble, he doesnt do anything.
oh ive had weird times, since ive gotten sick, all the problems i have are caused by the pred usually tho
when i was on 90 mg of pred, i was wakin up more than 5 times a night, soaked in sweat. that sucked.
and i was havin to deal with mental side effects too (i know that sounds weird)
but i was terrible, one moment i would be terribly sad, i had even felt suicidal at times
and then, i might get mad or full of energy
really bad depression and mania symptoms, i would wake up at night full of energy, i remember one morning at 5 when i had to get ready for school, i was jumping around and was talkin super fast.
well, that wore off after we lowered the pred, thankfully.
i should be going to bed soon, since i gotta wake up early tommorow...
