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.

Everything Hurts! Not a good day at all ):

Woke up this morning and felt sort of "out of it". Not really pain at that time except for my right calf where I had a cramp in it last night. Got ready for work and drove to Greensboro. By the time I arrived there every part of my body was starting to hurt. Even my face. I only stayed at work for about an hour and then I left to come back home.

As I was driving I began fighting an overwhelming feeling to go to sleep. It was really scary. I honestly do not know how I managed to arrive home without having an accident. I came in the door, dropped my bags in the living room and went straight to bed. I slept for over 4 hours. When I awoke the pain was even worse. I'm sitting here in the recliner with my feet up and a heating pad on my neck and back. My upper back feels like it is on fire when you touch it. Like a very bad sunburn. I'm running a low grade fever so I'm having on-and-off chills. I have taken one pain pill but cannot tell that it is helping any at all.

The weather today is fairly warm for this time of the year. The high today was around 60 and it has been raining all day. It's 9pm as I type and the outside temp has only dropped to 59 degrees F.

My doctor is always asking me to rate my pain level from 1 - 10 with 10 being the worst. So I think I will rate it daily on here using that same scale. Today's level is a 10.

Working in Greensboro Again Today

I'm really getting to like working in Greensboro. It's such a change to the hectic environment I'm usually in. And I'm actually in an office with a door, windows, a nice leather office chair and a REAL desk. LOL I'll never understand why some places put workers in the most drab, depressing environments imaginable and expect them to be happy and productive. My RA and Fibro have been much less painful during the days while I have been working here. I almost dread going back to my normal work location. I know the pain will be worse again ):

Anyway...time to get some more work done. But I promise to start keeping this blog more up to date from now on. Even if no one else reads it, I do believe it helps me to have a place to vent.

Wow...it's been a while...

I'm so sorry it has been so long since i have posted on this blog. Mostly medical reasons on my part. I do promise to start blogging regularly. Goodnight for now!
