Sick of being Sick!
by heather

Sorry in advance, but this is going to be a whiny post. I've had alot of pain this week and I'm getting really sick of it. I think people forget that I have pain every day, even on my 'good days'. I was getting headaches that felt like low pressure headaches off and on for a couple weeks. Dr.B recommended that I increase fluids, caffeine and sleep with my head elevated. I've tried that for 2 weeks and now the pain is worse. I just got an email from Dr.B and he said to stop the caffeine and fluids because he no longer thinks its a low pressure headache. He said we have to just wait and see what happens now. I hate the 'just wait and see' phase. As I said before, sorry about the whining!

sounds familiar

been reading all your blogs...you sound like me on my blog. endless pain and tired of being sick. I actually blogged something one day I called "sick and tired of being sick and tired". I had the chairi surgery in sept 2006 and getting ready to have a ruptured disc fixed that they just found(idiots)...cuz the pain in my neck is still there. I am not able to work doing what I want either. I hope you get better soon! know you are not alone!
