  Just kidding about the super strong pain meds. I thought about it of course. I try to make sure I am awake through out most of my life. Sometimes of course I would not mind sleeping so much.

 

  Major mix up at the neurologist office yesterday. They secretary did not schedual half of the patients into the computer. So I had to wait all day just to get my meds and I could not even talk to the doctor. I bet someone gets fired over this one. The doctor is not that forgiving to his staff. I know someone who worked for him before.

 

  So this doctor comes to the out patient clinic once a month to save everyone else a long drive to his office. Imagine him not having more then half of his patients charts.

 

So I guess I should be greatful I got my scripts filled. Well I am sort of greatful and sort of not so happy about it because I really needed to see my doctor yesterday.

 

I am on day nine of Leviquin and the sinus thing is about bareable. I see the dentist tomorrow. I mean it is hard for me to tell if I have a tooth ache. Sinus trouble tends to make your teeth hurt for one thing. I take pain meds so that masks things most of the time.

Also I get swelling of the face alot and glands swell all of the time anyway. So confusing.

 

So I guess I will make it till Friday morning? They said of course if I could not to go to the eroom. My vicoden says to take every six hours as needed. I always need it so I take four a day other wise I would end up with none. Then that would be a disaster. Well I took six total yesterday and a flexeril. It really did not help so much.

 

I was hoping that this was more of a fibro attack than an RA attack. The musle relaxers are not aliviating the pain so much.

 

Seriously most of the time my pain meds work just fine so a pred pack is maybe the way to go. Just they insist on seeing me first. It would have been nice if they would have just called it in. Geez I was hyperventalating yesterday from the pain.

 

My feet are swollen on the bottom. Ususally they are swollen on the top. Plus the achillies tendon and the tendon that goes under the heel of your foot has been swollen also. Both feet but one alot worse than the other. My good foot. Well it used to be my good foot.

 

So yesterday it had been a week scince this started and it is only getting much worse. It is not just a foot thing. I am flaring in many body parts. Just the foot thing is the most important because I have to be able to stand onmy feet of course.
