Hurting this morning & feeling like an absolute idiot....
It was as a WTF moment. We were watching something on Netflix while eating dinner. I’d made us each a burger (Alaskan Pollock) and a salad.
Two bites into my burger I thought, “why am I not tasting that onion?” Then I realized I’d picked up my husband’s burger which was in his bread and not my gluten free. I spit out what was in my mouth, dashed to the bathroom and induced myself to vomit up what little I’d eaten.
Not a pleasant experience, but less traumatic than what lay ahead if I didn’t. Then I took a dose of my generic Celebrex and came back to pick at my own food, not that I had much appetite thereafter.
It’s raining this morning & I’m not a happy camper at all. I’m achy all over, with mild arthritic flares going on in both shoulders, my left wrist, my left ankle and my right hip. I say mild as I hurt, but the joint swelling and redness isn’t marked, at least not at the moment. Fingers crossed, I’ll stay this way, & this will be as bad as it gets. My gut is sore as well, which is not a good sign.
Fortunately, I’ve got plenty of my anti inflammatory on hand and I have room to up my dose to twice a day for the week if I have to. (Max dose is 400 mg daily; I almost never take more than 1/2 that.). I basically use the Celecoxib as a pain reliever, to calm the discomfort from joint damage done while the arthritis was active and hot. This week it will be to quiet the inflammatory process down again, thanks to my inattentive idiocy and I have no one to blame for that other than myself.
