Getting my butt kicked by pain

Today was a busy day spent at uni with my friend, sitting for 5 HOURS trying to work our how to do our assignment. Thankfully I think we've worked part of it out, I'm going to leave the rest for tomorrow.

The day didn't start out so well, as I barely slept all night and then chose for some unknown stupid reason to wear my hair up. No sleep + tight hair= migraine! Then my ankle had been aching all day and it just got worse and worse to the point that I actually had to take off my boot in my sign language class, which didn't help. So now I've had a shower, taken my boot off and am lying with my ankle resting on a pillow waiting for my mountains of pain killers to kick in. So far... no luck.

I don't know how much longer I can keep this whole uni + ankle thing going because I get home and I'm exhausted. It's not just my ankle that hurts, the pain goes all the way up to my knee. Not to mention the fact that I have all my normal joint pain as well! Ahh this is going to be a long journey.

I'm going to have to do so much exercise when my ankle heals. I've put on a bit of weight trying to heal my stupid ankle and I just want to feel healthy and fit :) So there will be no excuses once my ankle heals!

Sorry for the rambling rant... I'm just super tired and in quite a huge amount of pain.

Now for a quote for the day...

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...
