I have had Costochondritis since 2005 I was diagnosed with it while having Bronchitis, I had moved to Missouri at the time and had my very own place and was living alone for the 1st time, it was terrifying and I was at the Emergency room more then can imagine. .

I moved back to L.A. and found a doctor (I had always been very healthy up to that point) as luck of my random search would have it she was amazing! She helped me out put me on meds, Viccodin was one of them I was starting work at Disneyland and didn't want it to affect me.

I also have Cerbral Palsey and walk with quad canes which means I use my upper body strength a lot it kind of makes sense that I would get this it just sucks more then one can imagine.

I also have asthma which I know isn't helped by this, as the years have gone by I have learned to deal with it, although recently its gotten worse. I was at the hospital twice this week and of course all the heart things were checked out the first trip they gave me Viccodin, but it wasn't working weirdly and just made me really Nauseous which it never really had before, Even at one point I couldn't swollow food down, I was very shakey and I got really cold (its L.A. its like a billion degrees right now)

I went to the emergancy room again they gave me three things for Nausea and a thing of pain meds which didn't work so then they gave me Morphine which did, said I was fine and sent me home with some Nausea meds and told me to either take IB profin or Vicciden for the pain.

I only have a little pain not but its still pain and it still hurts, I have to start school tomorrow and I am worried this is really going to affect it, I had done so well over the past 2 years I don't understand why its coming back now.
