Six of one, half a dozen of the other

I have not been at work at all this week. Instead I have spent the majority of the time either in bed or wishing I was in bed. At the moment I cannot stand for more than 15 minutes before the nausea becomes overwhelming. So here is the symptom count at the moment:

  • Abdominal pain
  • nausea
  • exhaustion
  • dia*****

No it is not very pleasant. On the plus side, in a major coup, I was able to secure an emergency consult with the best Doctor in the state when it comes to Chrones. She agreed to see me this coming Monday. I couldn’t even get in to see my regular gastro until the end of August.

I did manage to see a nurse practitioner yesterday that was able to prescribe something for the nausea and pain. The medicines do work somewhat, I still get nauseous after standing for a bit but it is now as overwhelming and it goes away if I sit for a few minutes. Unfortunate side effects of the meds= even more exhausted than I was, but I will take it over the other problems any day.

I am hoping to resume a regular posting schedule here soon and post something that isn’t whining about my illness!

God bless,
Jeff A

The fourth is now but a memory and soon the fireworks will die down and out and all I can say is thank God, maybe I can get some sleep now. It sounded like a war-zone out there Tuesday night/ It went on till at least three in the morning as that is how long it took me to finally fall asleep from exhaustion!

Wednesday was just not a good day. I couldn’t do anything right and when I got to work it went downhill from there. I was ready to put a bag over my head and try to hide that way, just to get away! When I finally got home from work I was experiencing the worst headache I have had in a long time, and it is still throbbing away, come on ibuprofen.

I am going to go read some blogs now, as I haven’t done throughout the holiday and try to catch up on all my favorite people and maybe even a few non-favorites, just so I am not playing favorites that is.
