In turn my supers f@#$ me every chance they can. I only stand up for whats right. Then there is my aprt. I just moved into. Its still a mess bc i dont have the time to do anything bc im always helping or taking care of everyone else. When i do have.the.time i am either exhausted or in pain from IH. And oh the IH i dont even.have.to explain there...
So much everywhere.i just want to cry! So this morning my boyfriend atops by when he got off work. He calls me to unlock the door. So i get up out of bed(tired and not thinking to take it easy) i go unlock it. Im rushing back to bed, screaming out in pain holding my head in tears. He gets his bottle of excedrine and has me take some. Sits there rubbing my head. Finally he asks if i want to take a shower. I need one. I know i do but the pain is so horrible the last thing i want to do is move. He.talks me.into it. So i SLOWLY move. And with every inch i moan. Sharp stabbing pains. After about five minutes i make my way to the.shower. and in my apartment, the end of my bed is at the bethroom door so the shower is two feet away. he helps me but its still excrutiating. I dont condition or shave. I just want out of shower. I to back to the.bed and directly lay down. Its been two and half hours sinve ive been up. One diamox so far and six pain pills. Now i have to to get my sister.and take.her to dr. Apt.

Well - am relitivly sober now. Please excuse my apelling. Doctor have me a shot of dillaudid. I think thats how it spelled. Ladies this is amazing. Howeverr not skmething to take it you have things to take care of or obligations to attend to. Put me on cloud nine. It is AN opiod drug. And you would not be able to drive once u leave the hospital. But it worked. I am pain free. And i have my script for fioricet now. I love that medicine it helps too.
