Undxed, need to whine. Starting to worry.

[Guest guest]

What now? It's always something wrong with me. I stopped even going to the upid

doctors. Then I was in a wreck. My " issues " are 10 times worse. I can deal with

most of them. Now it's something else. I've got 2 things going on. I am so

swollen. Normaly I feel swollen from time to time but I'm not. Well this time I

am. Going on the 3rd day. My hands, feet & face. I'm starting to worry because I

have a minor heart issues, MVR. But they always say to watch for swelling for

hands,feet & face. What y'all think? I see the rheumy Tuesday. If I'm still

swollen, I will bring it up to him.

I get the " slapped face " (aka:SF) when I have ocular migraines. Which ever eye

is effected, that side of my face is ultra sensitive. Like cold is freezing &

hot is like fire. Almost a sunburned feeling with no change is skin color or

texture. Well I've gotten this feeling other places on my body for very short

periods of time. In June or July I had some kind of infection in my right ear &

glands. That side of my face, ear & neck were like SF. Oh, I call it this

because the 1st time it happened I swore my hubby had slapped me while we were

sleeping.

Any how, it doesn't bother me too much. The migraines on the other hand make me

feel like I'm dying. I had my 1st true " come to Jesus " moment during the worst

migraine I'd ever had in my life. Well SF took over the top of my thighs & upper

arms a few weeks ago & lasted I guess a week or 2. Well it came back with a

vengeance. I am in so much pain right now. No one can get even close to me

without me grimacing. My skin feels bruised, sun burnt, hot, swollen but it

looks perfectly normal.

My upper arms, all parts of my legs, my shoulders, butt & back. My boobs (sorry

if TMI) started to hurt so bad 4 days ago. I figured it was something hormonal.

Then I realized it was SF taking over my body. Even my pant legs touching my

calves hurt. When will this madness end? I am so freakin sick of getting new

symptoms upon new symptoms. I see the rheumy 3/24. Maybe he''ll have an answer.

No one else does. I guess I'll give him a try. I have to get this arthritis or

whatever this is under control.

Not to help matters, I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. Then got up early

to go to the Flea Market with my best friend Sara to sell dachshund her puppies.

We were stopped by everyone. We were there 6 hours. About 45 mins of that I was

standing in the same place. My knees started to kill me. They never both hurt.

Usually just one or the other. When I got home I put heat on the worst 1 for 2

hours. I took 2 neurontin, 10mg Lortab, an anxiety med, muscle relaxer &

anti-inflammatory. Nothing helped. I'm finally better but it took me siting or

laying down for the past nearly 7 hours.

Sorry about the whine. I just really needed to got it out. I try to tell my

hubby but he just don't get it. I so wish I could give everyone I know this pain

for hour. They probably still wouldn't understand. Sorry for the long post. Have

a blessed & wonderful week!
