Sunday: housebound

well a lot has happened since my last entry. i had the FM meeting even tho i was suffering. it was a really good one and we got to talk to a radio host that is dedicated to veterans and all the suffering we go thru. He wants to air us regularly to get the word out about our group. he won't charge us anything and was even saying that we should get our own show. now...i'm not sure about getting my own show, but he can ask us questions on the air and announce things for us. that sounds really good. I can't wait to see what happens next! now about the head aches... the migraines were stickin around for about a lil over 2 weeks. i went to urgent care at the VA 2 thursdays ago and my doc gave me some migraine meds and told me to come back in the morn to let her know how i am. but that night the pain got to be unbearable and i really didn't sleep much. Matt took me to the er a lil after 7 am.  the doc that was attending me was an asshole to me and i was in such screaming pain. the fibromyalgia fed off of the migraine and spread unbearable pain thru my body, so it was like the migraine took over my whole body. it was a complete nightmare! and the asshole doc took her sweet fuckin time getting me some pain meds. she took like an hr n a half. and it only took care of the head pain but my body was still in screaming pain. i told her about it but she wouldn't give me anymore pain meds. and i asked her to check my kidney since it's regular protocal now for me to have it done (since i get chronic kidney infections), and she wouldn't even run a test! i wanted to choke her but i was too drugged up and in too much pain to think or move! after the discharge Matt took me home and by the time i got home my kidney started throbbing. then i really wanted to go back to that doc and punch her good and hard!! then i remembered that the VA had sent me some extra antibiotics to have on stand by. i went looking for em and found em. i was so happy and started taking them asap. gotta love havin those antibiotics around just in case! the rest of the time i was waiting to follow with my PCM my bro had some percocet left over from his recent dental surgery, so he gave em to me for my head aches. so i just took those to help take the edge off till my appt. when i came for my follow up, i told her everything that happened and about the percocet that i took, so she prescribed me some to have till i get to see the neurologist. i told her how i hate neurologist and the 3 that i saw last year were all useless. she said we hope this one is a good one. she checked some of my recent blood work that was done and said that my sodium was really low and i told her about how i have been so sensitive to it lately i've had to cut it aout of my diet. she said it's too dangerous and i should eat it even if it taste horrible to me. so the will look into having my brain scanned to see if there may be something wrong with the sudium regulator in my brain. hopefully there is nothing there. she is also having me do a "24 hr urine" where i have to collect my urine for 24 hrs and keep in a cooler. that's what i'm doing today and will have to turn it in tomorrow morning. don't ask me what the huge bottle of urine is for cuz they didn't explain that part. so who knows.  anyway... i've blabbed enough and i'm so greatful for everyone here that has checked in on me. you mean so much to me! i'm feeling much better and i hope i stay this way. God bless you all and i hope your weekends are going well!
