it's barely 10am and I'm already done with today.
Not been doing well health wise. My stomach has been worse than normal. I've had a lot of trouble with the reflux again/still and a lot of nausea. I got proton pump inhibitors though so hopefully they'll help, once they eventually kick in.
My asthma has been really playing up but I didn't have to take more than one puff of ventolin yesterday so hopefully that's easing off.
My pelvic floor has been cramping/tightening up for a while now and I think it's because my chair has collapsed a fair bit at the back and it's tilting my pelvis wrong. I have been trying to fix this with a pillow etc but 1, it's not really high enough to work, I need a wedge of foam to go under the cushion and 2, the chair is now harder than it was so my lower back is killing me.
My neck has also really been bad. I don't know if I've re-herniated a disc or if it's just swollen muscles pinching a nerve. Either way it's massive fucking pain all down my shoulder and arm. I barely slept last night with the pain and woke this morning with incredible tension in the muscles on the left side of my neck. I have used ice packs etc but still can't stop it. All my muscles seem to be tensing a lot today. It causes all sorts of problems. I'm worried my left shoulder is going to dislocate again it's pulling it that far out. Don't have any muscle relaxants though, the doctors wont give them out any more.
I just need a brake from all this pain.
Oh and our internet isn't working properly. Again, still, I don't know. Last night and today we can't load Tumblr and AO3 wont load properly. How am I meant to distract myself from the pain?? ugh.
I managed to get to the doc on Wednesday, even though I wasn't well enough for Hydro. I'd been off my patches for a week then. I'm on them again now but it's not kicked in yet. I'm going to take more codeine and if that doesn't work today I may have to seriously consider the benzos in my draw. They're clonazapam. They're about 5 years old but I had so much trouble getting off them. I was on them daily rather than just when needed but I don't know if I take them if I'll be right back there, you know?
No idea when this will post. It's not loaded enough for the tags to come up etc.
