15 states of fed-up
Since the last entry, my health took a small nose-dive.
Around the date of the last entry, unbenownst to me, I was marinading a mild case of the flu.
I went to my rhumatology appointment on the 3rd of Feb. and was told concerning my (current) arthitis:
"It is a self-limiting arthritis and will burn itsself out - it was contracted from an infecton."
So I was told to stop taking the Arcoxia, and if there were any flare-ups, to call him.
He did say that while there is a posssibility I might have rheumatiod arthritis, if I'm lucky, I'll not be seeing him again (you can bet your ass I'm crossing my fingers).
I also had more blood taken for many tests - including one for distemper, of all things and I'll be getting a letter some time in the future with the results.
I was thrilled with not having to take the Arcoxia anymore. I figured that it would take a few days, but there would be no more coughs and heaving. No more nausea. I was wrong.
Remember that marinading Flu?
The nausea got worse. I had the flem from hell. I started throwing up a minimum of twice-a-day. The night sweats and the floating muscle/joint pains were so delightful as well. I haven't slept properly for three weeks.
This was my FIRST case of the flu, and I'll tell you, I DON'T want it ever again.
Then, to top it off, about 4 days ago, just as the vomiting was subsiding, I wrenched some rib muscles near my armpit. I'm still coughing, so the associated pain is just the pits (the pain is just starting to settle, thank god.).
I've now been house-bound due to Illness for over 3 months.
WHAT IN THE FUCK HAVE I DONE? Which deity have I pissed off? What?
I'm getting to feel I can't win anymore. Just as I start to feel any grade of better, the health shit hits the fan again.
Ok, I'll quit. Obviously I'm being self-pitying. But this is getting beyond tiring.
- and I'm 15 grades of tired.
Later.
