Now I know why I feel like a 200 year old person when-- Mood
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 | A Painful story
0Well I know now why I hurt sooo much lately.  It's the Fibro which is full blown now!!  I can't get a full nights sleep because of my cat.  She starts screaming from 6AM (when my Mother gets up and comes downstairs - that cat has a clock in her head because she sits there waiting for her and when my Mom eats she eats) all morning long until I wake up and then she sort of stops.  She screams when she has to go to the bathroom.  I have to take her to the vet next month and do I have a lot of questions to ask him.  Well because of lack of deep sleep all these months I am hurting like crazy.  I saw the rhermatologist last month and every pressure point she hit to check for that "conditon" (they won't call it a disease -don't know why because it's stupid) which comes from your nervous system being wacked up,  I almost hit the ceiling every time she touched me.  I didn't realize how much pain I as in until she did that.  I guess I have been doing my usual routine - try to ignore it and get on with it.  I hurt from head to toe.  She gave me a script for a pain medication that I can take anytime I start to hurt.  The name of it is Tramadol.  I can take that any time I have pain - doesn't matter if I took it a half hour ago or 10 minutes ago.  I hope it works.  But besides that I have some great news.  I have been approved by 2 places and they both were able to get loans for me.  I was "approved".   I have to have at least a 2500 deposit for the one place and the other one I don't know yet.  I applied somewhere that is closer to home also and I am waiting for a reply.  Right now I am so anxious to get a vehicle to put the adaptive equipment on that it's unreal.  I don't want to have to wait 2 hours in the heat anymore.  (That almost happend to me last week and I went in the hospital because of the heat once - heat is not good for anyone and even worse with someone with MS).  I want to be able to go somewhere and not hurt because 14 other people had to be picked up,  dropped off,  picked up and then dropped again.  I hurt so bad from that horrid ride I was crying that night into the next morning.  I want to be able to roll out of the house and get into something and be there on time,  etc.  I miss the freedom of having a car and I will use it to transport anyone else - car pool.  I am so happy that this part of my life is on the move and happening.  Well I have to sign off and LOL to anyone that reads this.  Take care and yak at you soon!!  galed7956
