I'm totally wake, yup, nope

I'm so tired I'm afraid my head it going to explode with all the information that I'm sure I'll have to listen to today. Yup that's right, mid semester break is over and its back to uni. And how did I spend my last night of freedom before uni? Working the close.... 5pm-12am YAY! So now my body aches, I can't walk and Uni... nope not for me. I think I'll do my lectures later online and go in at 4pm for my tute. I'm not sure that my body will handle anything else. Might need a long, hot bath and use my massager for a while. Gees! I can't even believe how sore I am, I knew that I would be sore because it was one of my only long shifts that I've done since I hurt my hip, but this is ridiculous. My whole left side it aching and even my leg and back hurts. This is ridiculous. Is this it?

I think I'm coming to the sad realisation that I go to more doctors and physio appointments in one week than I work :( I feel like I made all this progress 2 years ago, by going to pain management, learning how to accept pain and all these strategies to cope etc. etc. but now I don't even know how. It's like everything I learnt was related to coping with Migraines and then elbow pain came along and that was sort of alright because I could still walk and then hip pain started and now I can't even do anything. This is so stupid, I don't even know what to do. Oh well, maybe I'll go back to bed and start my day again.

BB :)

Turquoise for Dysautonomia Awareness Month

Again it's been a month since I posted... Opps! It's been an intense month! My endoscopy went well. They were worried about an anaphylactic reaction to the Propofol but luckily that didn't happen. Sadly though they didn't find anything so still no answers but I've got my gastro appointment in about 3 weeks so hopefully we'll have a plan to move forward then. I also managed to have a POTS flare after the procedure due to the 'eating and drinking nothing for 18 hours' thing. But after fluids and the threat of an admission I went home to snuggle up with Ami. Next in September was an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts, uni problems and a possible CRPS diagnosis, amongst others. Let's just focus on the possible CRPS diagnosis. As you may or may not know, I fractured my right ankle in 2014, followed by 13 weeks in a boot and crutches + 4 months of rehab, plus rehab that continues to this day. My ankle has since never be the same, but usually it...

Absent

Sorry I've been so absent recently. I've had loads of exams this week and I've been quite stressed and not super healthy. I don't think my body has been coping very well with all the stress and I've had some GI flare ups and joint issues these past couple of days. On Saturday night I went to a party and I paid for my choices the next day as I couldn't walk without my crutches. I do through phases where I am almost jumping off the walls and feeling amazing and the next day I can't walk. Boom and Bust. I've never been very good at managing the boom and bust and stress cycle. I guess I haven't really mastered the art of pacing quite yet. I also did something quite stupid in my semi-drunken state on Saturday. I told some of my friends what I'd been going through. Usually I would never say anything and I wish that I could take it back, but I can't. I guess in that moment I just felt safe. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't tell them everythi...

The wrath of medication forgetfulness

I'm really feeling the effects of my stupid forgetful brain this morning. I didn't realise how much my medication helps (because sometimes it doesn't feel like it does anything) until I forgot to take it last night. I have to admit, it probably wouldn't have been a great combination with the alcohol that was probably still in my system when I went to bed, but still, I'm really feeling the effects this morning. The bad part, my rescue medication has some seriously horrible side effects so I probably won't be taking that any time soon. I guess I deserve the pain I'm in this morning, after all I did drink and then forget to take my medication before I went to bed last night, over estimating my pain management skills I think. Now even the sound of my computer keys tapping is sending my brain into sensory overload and I have no idea how I'm going to get all my assignments done today. I deserve this, but still I feel sorry for myself. The feeling of waking u...
