and the beat goes on Mood
Thursday, April 30, 2009 | A General Update story

geesh... ten  years ago I'd laughed at some of the posts on this site.  Yeah, I was one of those real 'sensitive' people who believed it was mind over matter.  Healthy since birth - God got me back at age 48 with onset diabetes.  Kept my levels fairly normal until the past two years and got everything known to man. 

 

Now I'm a chronic pain sufferer.  Lower back, hips, legs, feet, and recent and perhaps recurring bout with the shingles.  Missing time from work - thank God for FMLA or I'd be living under a bridge.

 

Off again today with real bad aggrivation (my words for manageable pain with pills) in hips, legs (nearly numb) and foot pain.  And, nasel pain that streches into my head/skull/upper neck.  I call them near migraines.  Need to find out (other than Lortab) how to manage the awful pain in the left nasel cavity.  I'm thinking since I live on a golf course (in a condo, please) that I'm now allergic to the air and wind.  Good grief, what's next??

 

Called the Drs office yesterday and today.  It is a HMO - so I should be hearing back from them during the summer.  I made an appt for next week - at least I'll get about 90 seconds of face time.
