PAIN
I have had excruciating pain in my right leg and arm for the past two days. I only have excedrine to take as I have no dx. I cannot take heavy narcotics as they make me very sick to my stomach. I guess this vicious cycle only gets worse. I haven't told my husband about the pain. He gets worried simply when I get foot drop. going on day three of the misery of weak arm and leg. Now the pain is involved and I am feeling like I am going crazy. Hubby wants to go out and do things and enjoy the final days of nice weather. I just can't get myself to go do anything. I put a load of laundry in the washer and am exhausted. I told him if he wanted to wheel me around in my chair I was up for it. He decided it was best to stay in. He doesn't want me to get too worn out. I think i need a scooter or electric wheelchair! To be honest tho, I don't have the energy to go out and around. I was hoping I could go out and shop a little tomorrow, but the way I feel today says no! stay home!
I wish I could get in to the doc sooner.

I am sorry to hear your down and out. I would invest in a scooter, I have one. You can get one cheap if you are only going to use it for short trips, mine was a bit pricey, but I bought it when I lived in Florida and we had passes to all the Disney parks, so the batteries had to last for a while. I also upgraded the seat, the one it came with HURT when you sat on it for a while! I sure hope you feel better soon! I understand about not telling your husband, my husband freaks put and wants to go to the hospital. He worries about me all the time, right now he refuses to let me walk around the stores and walk the boys to school. I know that walking the kids to school would be pushing it, but I feel like such a lump! I guess it is better this way, I save my energy to do the things that I need to do at home, so I can take care of my family the way I use to.( Not exactly, but enough to make me feel like I am \"mom\" again) I wish you the best and I hope you feel better soon!
