Grunt!
Ow. I am in quite some pain right now. I've been having these weird headaches ever since Friday or so (that's 7 days now), unlike any I've ever had. They weren't the most painful, but they were strangely debilitating. Walking takes conscious effort. Going down stairs is slow and requires serious concentration. For the most part, Ibuprofen seems to quell the headaches, usually. On the 3rd or 4th day, I started really worrying that I could be ill. I have a temporary insurance right now that expires in 6 months and cannot be renewed. It would suck to get a tumor NOW. But that's seriously what I started thinking about. I've since seen a doctor and gotten a prescription. He thinks the problem is some massive long term tension in my shoulders and neck and back. So he gave me muscle relaxants - I started them today. Here's how THAT went.
First off, my muscles don't feel relaxed or loose. I still need the ibuprofen or the headache comes back. The worst was my last class today. That room was cold, and since I left that class, I've been cold. My fingernails are turning blue. The goose bumps on my back are actually painful, like hundreds of needles. As I shivered to my car and tried to control my breathing, I felt my chest tighten. And tighten. And TIGHTEN. I was beginning to think of the hospital, but it finally subsided. Now I just have my usual heartburn and those damn goose bumps. Oh, and my fingernails still look kinda blue. This weekend is going to be quite hectic, so I hope that these relaxants friggin kick in tomorrow morning or I'm gonna be one displeased mofo.
