hope the pain can ease soon

after following up with my primary care about the rash that had spread all over my body, she prescribed me a new cream with a strong steroid. at least she didn't give me prednizone, right? the 1st day i put that stuff on it made it even itchier, but then it calmed down. 3-4 days later... wallahh! the rashes started disapearing! whoohoo! no more wakinup itchy anymore, no more squirming any more! the only thing is, i got little scars every where. and some of the rashes are still around, but hopefully they will continue to disapear. she said it's eczyma. ?? what causes that? where do you get it from? i guess i'll have to read it up. how many more diagnosis do i gotta add? bad enough i was recently dx w vericose veins. which btw, those compression stalkings are awesome! they help so much!! lets see... i got a rheumatology follow up today... it's for the cymbalta switch i just did. hopefully he ups my dosage to 60mg. cuz this 30mg isn't doin it. my aches and pains have NOT gone down since i got off the effexor. muscle pain everywhere (more than usual) and shooting stabbing pain. it was so bad the other day, that i was screaming cuss words at random times, and Matthew was wondering if i had got a sudden case of turretts. lol. i just laid on the couch all day and put in "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins" ...hey i felt like shit, but at least i was laughin, right?  the other thing bothering me lately is my sleep. my sleep has been so screwed up! on days when i have to get up for an appt or something, i can't seem to wake up. then on days where i can sleep in, i can't sleep in! end up tossing and turning. the other night i woke up around 0200 with horrible muscle pain in my legs and arthritic pain in my hips and lower back. i swear i felt a storm coming on... sure enough, it started raining, i could here it through the windows. the pain kept me awake for like 2 hrs. that really sucked.  well... hopefully after this follow up i get a better dosage and HOPEFULLY it helps. pain sucks! thanks for reading my journal... and thanks for being such awesome friends! God bless you all!
