Saturday, August 1, 2009 | A Painful story
Man oh man....who was it that told me to relax?? choose rest over laundry they said. stupid me felt pretty good yesterday and started cleaning up a room. i didn't get far before i told my husband i should lay down. he left for store. while he was gone i had a full blown attic of something from outter space. POOF! talk about panic. i called someone to come over and then called my dear friend whom i scared to death. she couldn't understand anything i was saying which upset me more because i know when someone has a stroke they understand what they are saying but others think it's jibberish. made me cry more. (it was not a stroke) OMG  the cry...it was like nothing i've ever experienced. it was a different kind of crying. my voice was different. if my husband had been here he would have called 911. then again he has a wonderful way to help me relax. that's all i needed, too. relaxing my muscles is all that was necessary. the more i tensed, the more it hurt. strange kinda hurt, too. i couldn't remember things. my son is the one that noticed that and kept checking on me when he returned home. He loves me :))) Got to remember to share all this with doctor on monday. Today I'm doing NOTHING. Don't even want to get dressed. Just rest. Feeling a bit nauxious, but not bad. Will eat some oatmeal or something. Can what we eat make us feel worse? Can it cause pain? I keep calling it pain, but it was nothing like the pain i've experienced before....and i KNOW pain. i feel like i'm repeating myself here. I really feel for everyone on this tx. It is definately a fight. I hope ya'll are having the best day possible. Going back to bed now. Headache comeing on again. Thankfully they don't last long.

    Awwwwww. each day you will learn more about your body. You must listen to it. The feelings we experience, physically and mentally, are so unique and I think only those of us who have been through it can really understand. If nausea gets to be too much, doc can prescribe something. Good to take that and ibuprofen or extra strength Tylenol before your shot. Keep food in your stomach. And most of all if you feel tired at all, lay down.............. One day at a time, you are doing it..................

    REST! I eat a meal hi in protein, then take my shot an hour after. I think it helps me. LOL I eat often, not a lot, but I'm always trying to nibble on something....exp when I take my pills. I think our body needs all the calories, because of the trauma we are going through.

    It tends to get mental, these drugs,. for me, I am highly emotional, but, not enough i need meds.........my sweet temperament, has become short tempered....

    I hope this week is good for you........I'm off for the weekend, but let's get caught up next week. Relax, don't do it..........LOL, let yourself be taken care of. My DH, has been so good to me.

    nerves can cause this too but better to get it checked out than to just dismiss it.

    Sounds kind of scary. Best thing definitely is to tell your doc. Maybe you should keep a food journal. I know if I eat beef I'm going to have a problem afterwards.
