Well, my memory has been pretty bad for the past few months. Apparently, so bad that I had forgotten about my blog. LOL So, here's an update on what's been going on:

• Had to increase the methotrexate
• Seeing a Pain Management doctor now who has put me on a stronger pain medication
• This doctor actually listen to me regarding my back and sent me for x-rays
• I go back to see him in a couple of weeks for the results

Other than that, things are pretty much the same. I'm just taking it one day at a time (:

Here we go again...

This weather has knocked me on my butt. Even with a sleeping pill I was waking up all night from the pain. Couldn't take anymore pain medication since I had reached my daily limit yesterday evening. There is no way I can drive to work. I'm calling into to work as soon as someone is there to answer the phone. I am afraid I am missing too much work. Funny thing is, I will get more work done from bed today on my laptop than I would at work in the middle of grand central station. People are so rude. They walk in the door and immediately start talking not caring that I am obviously working on something. They will not wait for me to get to a stopping place. It's a constant struggle each day trying to be productive with so many interruptions. Very stressful too. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

FMLA Form

My doctor had told me to get an FMLA form from work for her to fill out. I did and my husband picked it up from my doctor's office on Monday. I don't really understand exactly what my doctor has put on the form and what it means for me as far as work. She has put down that I would miss 1 day of work a week for lifetime. It will be interesting to see what HR at work tells me after they have reviewed the form. All I know right now is I am very tired and I hurt all over. My feet ankles and legs are swollen. My back, shoulders and neck hurt and ou can just feel the heat coming off of them. My arms ache. Even my face hurts. I have had my limit of pain pills today. I have taken both muscle relaxers for the day, both lyrica pills and my Zoloft. Now I believe it is time to take an ambien and put on my CPAP mask. I sure hope I can find sleep soon. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Still Not Feeling Better

Well, it was 5am before I finally was able to sleep last night. Slept until noon today. Still hurting all over. My pain level at this moment is about an 8 since my back isn't quite as bad as it was yesterday. Gonna try to shower and do my hair so maybe that will help me feel better.
