Oh, poor you!!! Did they test you for the flu and give you tamiflu?
I so sympathize with you - i have the same crap here, although my flu swab is negative, thank god.
I have a problem with pain when i have colds because for whatever reason the sinus pressure creates terrible pain in my facial nerve, which was damaged several times.
I m also lying here trying to figure out how not to go crazY.
I try to mainly distract myself.. I use essential oils like eucalyptus and lavender, especially in the shower, and i play video games..
Hope you feel better soon!!!

Hi Pink....sorry your so sick....that sucks...pain is still there in sickness and in health I think it is like being married to that bastaard pain.....hugs

I know that when I get sick my pain is worse. Also when I do not sleep properly my pain level goes up. You are a very strong person to be able to work through all of that pain and discomfort. The only advice I can offer you is to get some extra sleep this weekend. Your body is being overstressed with being sick on top of already having to deal with chronic pain. You should rest up, get a lot of fluids in, and try and have a stress free weekend. I hope you're feeling better tonight. Hugs!

BTW-I love your status quote. So, so true.

I am very sorry that you are having everything hit at once. It can get overwhelming. I definitely would keep in touch with your doctor so nothing gets out of control.

Sending prayers and lots of positive energy. Hang in there.

Hugs-RJ

Pink..
Sorry things are piling up on you..
It does become a vicious cycle when CP gets comoiunded
By new pain..unrekated ilnesses.. tiredness..stress..
Well..and so on.

I hope you get a break in the cycke that gives you some wriggke. Room to work towards feeling better.
Hugs

I'm sorry you are sick. I hope you feel better. Sending you love and light. My prayers are with you. Hugs

My 3rd visit to the doc was today... obviously had bronchitis/head cold and doc said it was def the flu that started Friday. Still coughing my lungs out, so I was put on 50 mgs of prednisone, I'll take the symbicort inhaler 2x a day & pro air hfa every 4 hours, and got a new cough syrup. Hopefully this all works!!!

On a better note- my spinal cord stimulator trial installation date is March 9th @ 3:30 PM. Can't wait!

Hang in there Pink you are aforce to be reckoned with. Hope all goes will in March. Sending TX size prayers

Thanks willodene! Glad it's Friday for sure. I'll be great when my head's out of the fish bowl so to speak. Just hope this coughing goes away by March 9th, because I cannot afford an error while that needle is going in my spine! Hope all is well your way :)
