I seen my surgeon and he wants me to wait to get a fill because of all my health issues right now. He said with me getting so depressed with my body not acting right and not treating me good, I don't need the frustration of food getting stuck, if it would, or any other complications.

I have had a horrific week:Cry:. The exhaution went beyond anything I have felt in awhile. I was borderline psychotic :eek:due to sleep deprevation, pain, and stiffness. I have been crying a lot and I threw some crap in my house the other day because I was so darn angry:going_mad:.
I am so sick of my body attacking itself and making my life hell.

I missed class Thursday night. I could barely walk. I am having problems with muscle weakness, twitches, and spasm, especially when I walk or take a shower. It happens mostly in my legs and arms where they feel heavy and weak to move, and I get spasms in my back different places. My lower back is in so much pain too. I think I pulled a muscle or something. I believe the muscle stuff is my fibro. My counselor mentioned MS, but I seriously doubt it is that. I wish she didn't say that though. My symptoms are fibro that is what it is not MS. I see what Karen goes through and I don't think I have those kind of symptoms.

I am getting my Rheumy, who is leaving the practice I go to in the end of May, to reffer me to Johns Hopkins Hospital. The need her referral and bloodwork with any other tests she has done on me. Then they will send me a packet to fill out and let me know what office I fit in and where to go for treatment. I am hoping I get someone that can help me.

I am also going to ask my Rheumy to try Oxycodone-CR on me. I know it is a more potent pain med, but it is slow release and I rather take slow release then to always have pain keep coming back and it hits me at night and I can't sleep. My sleeping pill did nothing for me last night. I got to sleep at 4:30 AM.

My surgeon and my other docs told me to not get overwhelmed about my weight right now because I am having to many health issues that is holding me back. They want me to eat healthy still, but not to get upset about exercise right now except stretches and some toning. They told me not to do cardio unless it is light walking. I get fatigued taking a shower, so they don't want me to do too much and get hurt.

I can barely think straight. Writing this feels like slow motion and like my brain is in a big cloud. I have 3 weeks left before my final. I have to finish this semester. I am so close to being done.

I swear I feel 100 years old. I used to say I feel 80, it has moved up to 100. :faint:

So I gained a few pounds because of the limited movement the past week or so. The pounds go up and down 5 lbs from week to week, Drives me crazy, but there isn't much I can do this present moment. I am looking for a window of opportunity to have energy to get out a take a long walk.

Just wanted to update for my b2g buddies.

Hope all turns in the right direction for you soon. Are you going to a pain clinic to help manage your pain. They have patches they could prescribe. Lots of my patients with chronic pain are on Duragesic patches with oral meds for breakthrough pain.
Saying a prayer for you right now and daily for speedy recovery.
