I feel super barfy like yesterday. I feel like I’m just barely holding it back. Gross. What a yucky feeling. Sure wish seeing that dr last week would’ve been more helpful. I feel worse because I only got a couple hours of sleep last night. I believe that a lot of this is sleep related. I called my dr, dr May, today and left a message with her receptionist. Hopefully she’ll call me back tomorrow. I’m calling dr Hauptman’s office tomorrow. If this is related to the Suboxone, he’ll know. Maybe there’s something similar that I can take. It was obviously doing something!! The way I’m feeling, so tired and crabby and sick, this will likely be a short post again. Sorry everyone. I’m just not quite myself. If you can’t tell. I spent almost the whole day lying down and even though I only got a couple hours of sleep, I could sleep for the life of me!! Such a frustrating feeling and so annoying. I can’t even get comfortable and just lie there and rest, because I can’t, for the life of me, get comfortable I’m just so bloody restless, tossing and turning! It was 6:00am when I last looked at the clock this morning and my alarm went off at 7:37am. Ug! I thought lying down once my son went to school would help, but I still couldn’t get to sleep. I feel worse now because of it. I’m sure it’s sleep related!! I need to lie down, goodness knows why when I cannot sleep, but I’m just so exhausted! So, here’s to trying!! Night All! 💤😴

To help with research and treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia please go to http://www.tnnme.com (Trigeminal Neuralgia and Me) to sign a petition to have the we’World Health Organizationu (WHO) add Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) to their “Health topic list.””Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

Barf Man!

Okay. I just threw up my dinner and my night time medication!! Gross!! I need to lie down, so this is going to be a super short paragraph. It doesn’t matter that much, because I have nothing positive to say right now. Feeling as awful as yesterday. Except that the gags are turning into full fledged throwing up. Fun times! I didn’t end up calling the dr yesterday, now I have to wait until Friday, because he’s not there on Thursday’s. Stupid stupid me. I just felt so awful that I didn’t have the motivation to do anything. I again spent the majority of my day horizontal!! Lying down. I’m trying not to gag again, I need my pills to get into my system. How else am I supposed to get my regular 3-4 hours of sleep?! Ug! His is so super annoying. I just hate it. I don’t feel like myself and I’m tired of it. Tomorrow, call dr May’s office. Friday, call dr Hauptman. Now, try to sleep or at least lie down. And that’s my post. Tired of the negative?! I am too! So so tired of it. When will it end?! Sigh… Night All! 💤😴

Rough Day

Okay. Today was worse far more gagging, far more nausea, far worse headache!! I thought yesterday’s post was going to be short. Well, today is going to be more shortest post to date. (Oh! I just remembered, I forgot to call my dad back!! Shoot! Sorry dadda!) I called the school, the pharmacy, the dr’s office, the hair place, but I forgot to call my own dad back! Oops! Last night was one of the worse sleep nights. First off, I couldn’t get to sleep – I was so damn tired, but I lay here until 3:00am. I finally fell asleep and about an hour and forty five minutes later, my dog woke me up. Grrrr then I was awake for the rest of the morning. I lied back down once my son left for school. I did sleep for a couple hours more. I stayed in bed though, for more than half the day (which is when I missed my dad’s call. My room was/is nice and dark and the light hurt my head. It was so rough today. Yuck!! It was much easier just being on the bed. Even though I can’t get comfortable to save my life and I’m tossing and turning like crazy! I truly can be in a position for 30 seconds and I start to feel restless and uncomfortable. I’m praying that it doesn’t happen again tonight! It’s so frustrating. Even if I’m not sleeping, it’s nice to be comfortable and just lie there. Anything is better than tossing and turning for four hours!! Yuck! So, here’s where I cut things short today. I could keep on whining, but I don’t like the constant complaints. So, I’m just going to stop writing. Night All! 💤😴

Gag…

So this is going to be a short post, because I feel like I’m about to run to the bathroom to yack!! My damn gag-reflex is working overdrive and one of these times it’s going to be more than just gagging!!

Nothing helps and my hands are shaky as I write this. I have had a rough day. Most of it spent horizontal…either on the couch, or in my bed. I don’t know why the darn nausea is so extreme right now, but it’s testing me, that’s for sure! I just want a moment of peace. I’m so done feeling like this.

I’ve decided that tomorrow night I’m going to call my pain dr. He’s only there on Tuesday’s and Friday’s. I’m going to tell him about the Suboxone and that I’ve felt like hell since I’ve stopped it. I really don’t know what he’ll say, but I don’t know what else to do. Something’s got to give…because this has gotten ridiculous! My daughter’s burn is getting worse, so I’m going to make her a dr’s appointment tomorrow. My hubby made it home around 6:30 tonight, safe and sound. It was good that he was here. He g ran out and got some groceries and took care of supper. Thank goodness, because I was out of commission! And, speaking of that, I’m going to stop shaky writing and go to sleep (let’s hope!). Night All! 💤😴

Happy Thanksgiving!!

So, I actually left the house today…two times!! Once, very briefly, to pick up my daughter and her friends from Timmy’s and give rides home. Also, we went to my mom and dad’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. I drove okay, considering how crappy I was feeling. I get worried about driving when I feel shaken and sick, but I was fine. My sister and her family were there also. It’s been a while since we’ve seen them. Pretty sad actually, we used to be a lot closer than we are now. It was nice to see them. We had a good meal and a good visit too. I enjoy it when my parents are here. My dad did my needle into the back of my arm for me. It actually hurt! It didn’t last though. It just hurt in the moment, if you know what I mean. I felt a little dizzy afterwards, but it did not really help with my headache – which was really disappointing. I’m just sick and tired of being sick and tired…

I spoke to my hubby briefly. He’s feeling a bit better about his job after spending the weekend with the work guys that he’s with. Which is good. It would have been nice to have him here today, but I’m glad if it will improve things for his job. He’s coming home tomorrow evening.

I hate that this program doesn’t keep my paragraphs apart, even if I do a couple hard enters at the end. It’s weird. You’d think that since it’s a writing app that it would work with basic grammar!! My daughter is sleeping in my bed and it feels like every time that her phone vibrates, the whole bed vibrates. She has it on a super vibrate thing so she doesn’t miss it. It’s crazy annoying! She has a horrible cough right now and is hacking away beside me…well, beside my son. He’s in the middle!! Gotta love the big bed! I feel like that’s all our room is, it’s definitely a bedroom. I feel just wiped – probably because I did much more today than I’ve done in some time, since I’ve been feeling so yucky. So, I’m going to go to sleep, I think. Not much more to say anyway!! Night All! 💤😴

Tired Me

I spent half the afternoon in bed today. Yuck. I am just so darn tired. I am desperately in need of a full night’s sleep. Again, last night, I fell asleep okay, but woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. I chickened out with the needle too! It’s probably not that bad, but I haven’t done it yet. If I chicken out tomorrow I’ll just get my dad to help me when we’re at my mom and dad’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. The dr said most migraine medication works at the beginning of the headache and he thinks I’m into an already established headache. So, he isn’t sure if it’s going to be effective at all. Not encouraging…

So, it was hard to even get comfortable just sitting on the couch today. I wish it weren’t so. So, I went into the bedroom and kind of half-slept this afternoon for a few hours. Other than that, I didn’t really do all that much today. Not that that’s really doing something. Just taking care of myself is all. This is going to be a short post, because it’s already 11:30 and I’m tired. Also, I’m really tired of these negative “I don’t feel good” posts. They aren’t fun to write and they’re probably no picnic to read either. I did get a good laugh in today. My daughter and I watched some of the James Corden (okay, I don’t know if I spelled that correctly) car pool karaoke videos tonight. Very entertaining!! Too funny. They made me laugh. I like how it makes the stars seem like such normal people. I’m too tired to keep writing tonight. I’m off to bed now. Night All! 💤😴

Needles – Yuck!

Still feeling the same. The new pills haven’t changed anything yet. I’m hopeful, but hate feeling this way. I picked up my medication that I’m supposed to inject into my tummy or my arm. Even though I don’t feel well, I didn’t try it yet. It kind of freaks me out! The pharmacist explained what to do, but I just don’t really like the idea of giving myself injections. I’ve never been afraid of needles or anything like that, it just seems weird to have to give one to myself. I hope I get the courage to try it tomorrow. If it helps me feel better, I guess I’ll have to get over the fear of doing it.

My daughter came home from camping with a massive burn blister on her ankle. She was cold, sleeping on the tent, so she slipped some hot pocket thingys into her socks and went to sleep. She woke up with burns on both ankles!! One really tea bad one. A huge blister, bigger than the size of a toonie. It looks awful. The pharmacist said she should probably see a dr to get on antibiotics, to avoid infection. Great! Good luck finding a dr on the Thanksgiving long weekend. I don’t know what I’m going to do. If I try to find a walk in clinic or we wait until Tuesday. I guess I have to decide.

Today was just a lazy lie around day. It’s so frustrating! I feel like I’m losing my mind not being able to function normally. My house is just getting worse and worse! I wish I could afford a maid…or just a big dumpster in the driveway – lol!! It’s pretty bad. My hubby was going to clean up this weekend, but now he’s gone to Radium for a work thingy. It happened last minute and seeing as his job situation isn’t the greatest right now, it made sense that he goes. So he’ll be gone for Thanksgiving. I understand that it’s for work, it’s just a pain in the rump to try to take care of everything when he’s not here.

I’m so tired and cold right now. Actually, I’ve been cold all day. Especially my feet and ankles. Weird. I have no idea why. I had my wool slippers on for most of the day. I’m going to head to bed now and try to get some sleep. Try being the key word.

Night All! 💤😴

Dr Day.

I went to my dr’s appointment today. Apparently he thinks I’m in the middle of a two week migraine. He thinks that’s causing the nausea and headache. He gave me more medicine!! Yay! Just what I needed, more pills! Actually, if they help, I don’t care!! I’m so tired of feeling like this. So, if I have to take some more medication I will, as long as it helps. He also prescribed a new migraine medication that I have to inject into myself!!!! That scares the crap out of me!! He didn’t even tell me how. I hope that the pharmacist will. They had to order it and it won’t be here until tomorrow. He’s worried that it may not work, because you usually have to take migraine medication at the beginning of your headache, not two weeks in!! So he gave me toradol and some new pills that should help with the nausea. Fingers crossed that I start to feel better. He didn’t give me anything for sleep. So hopefully I’m able to sleep tonight. Yesterday I woke up three hours after I went to bed, around 2:15 and I couldn’t for the life of me fall back to sleep. So, hopefully, I’m able to sleep. He thinks that the headache is keeping me awake. So if you fix the headache, you can fix the sleep problem.

At least I was able to drive there. I wasn’t sure I’d feel up to it. Not that I had much of a choice in the matter. If I wanted to see the dr, I had to drive my butt there. I just hope that he’s correct and the meds he gave me help.

Once we got home I crashed onto the couch. I kind of half slept. I am so tired I wish I could sleep for a week. Not half asleep half awake for a couple hours on the couch. Oh well. Half asleep is better than nothing. I had to drive again to pick up my son from school. Then I picked up the prescriptions that were in and we came home.

Oh! We booked a place for Jamaica. We were torn between a bed and breakfast type place, a resort or a bnb type condo/apartment. We ended up picking a villa that has three guest rooms. My hubby likes the idea of meeting the locals and not just being in some resort. So we went with the villa. It comes with a driver who will take you all over the island. It also comes with a cook. She will help you shop and then she cooks for you whenever you require it. So, hopefully it will be nice. It got nothing but five star reviews across the board from close to 20 people. Fingers crossed that we made the correct choice!! The driver even picks you up from the airport and drives you back in a week. It sounds good so we’re going for it!!

I am feeling tired as Pooh! So, I’m going to try to see how long I’ll sleep for. Hopefully better than the past few days. Night All! 💤😴

A Small Triumph

Another day, another headache! Another day, another bellyache! Fun stuff man! Well, not really a bellyache, more nausea than achey. I see the dr in the morning. Maybe they’ll have insight into why the hell I feel this way. Let’s hope. Maybe tomorrow’s post won’t be so damn negative and oh poor me and I don’t feel good, etc. etc. At least I’m going to get out of the house. If only for a bit. Hopefully I feel up to driving downtown. Yuck!

I actually got out of the house today!! Not for long. I forced myself. To go to Shoppers to pick up a few things that I needed, with my daughter. Then we went to Starbucks, which I haven’t done in ages…it’s so expensive! Then we had to pick my son up from school. From there we went home…how exciting a life I lead!! But, I guess it’s better than being a sick hermit and never leaving the house. It’s something.

Other than that mini excursion, I didn’t do much. I made supper when I needed to. It took a lot of effort. I hate feeling so weak and low in energy. It makes everything a challenge. Even the simple tasks. You should have seen how heavily I was leaning on he cart at Shoppers. It felt like it took every ounce of effort to keep myself upright. I bought the new Dan Brown book. I was so excited to buy it, I can’t wait to start reading it. I always enjoy his books. The details and descriptions and the way he knows history so well. They’re always an exciting read. I haven’t been reading much, since I’ve been feeling this way. But when I get back to whatever my normal is, which is not your typical normal, I can start reading it.

I took two of my sleeping pills before I started to write this. Plus some melatonin. I’m determined to sleep tonight. At least a bit more than I have been. My dumb arse routine of falling asleep, then waking up and being unable to sleep, at all. Until I just have to get up. It’s getting old real fast! I’m ready to feel sleepy and go to sleep. I also ate part of a “brownie” that my hubby and I baked out of my cana-butter. So. It’s going to be weird if I don’t sleep. I’ll be an even more tired piece of myself. If that’s a possibility. So I’m going to head to bed to end this and get some sleep!Night All! 💤😴

Sick And Tired Of Being Sick And Tired !!

Another day has come and gone. Another day of doing nothing, because of how I’m feeling. My dr’s office called me back today. They can’t get me in to see her for at least three weeks!! So, since I don’t want to wait that long, I’m seeing a different dr on Thursday. Which kind of sucks. He/she doesn’t even know me or my history or anything. Sigh…it’s such a pain seeing someone who knows nothing about you. I’ve been seeing dr May since I was about 22 years old. I love her. I’m comfortable with her. I know her. She knows me. It’s very easy to talk to her about things and I don’t have to over-explain myself. But, I really didn’t want to keep on feeling like this for another three weeks until I can see her. So, I guess I get to see a stranger. Fun! If only they can get me sleeping normally again. I think I’d probably feel a hell of a lot better if I wasn’t so bloody exhausted!! You can only go so long without enough sleep right?! Isn’t it worse to drive when you’re sleep deprived, then it is to drive after drinking? Not that I think it’s okay to drink and drive. I just remember on Mythbusters once they compared he two and the sleep deprived were just as bad, if not worse, than the impaired drivers!! So, they’re both bad. I haven’t driven anywhere in days. Not even the kids to or from school!! Yesterday my hubby did it and today my hubby drove them there and my daughter picked them up. I have to drive Thursday morning to the Allin Clinic downtown, which is where my dr’s office is. I’m not looking forward to it. I just really don’t feel well! So, I just really don’t feel up to it. I don’t really have much of a choice!!

Oh, hey! I did do something other then sit on the couch all day, I forced myself to have a shower!! Even though it was difficult to stand there for so long, because I just don’t have the energy! I did it anyway!! I have been feeling so yucky that I just let myself go and I desperately needed a shower. So, I finally had one today. So at least I’m not gross anymore! I just feel gross!! I also feel tired. In case that want clear. My son had skating at school today. He’s not a very confident skater, so he wanted someone to go with him. Since I feel the way I do, my oldest daughter went with his class. She said that he did well. At first he was scared, then he got a bit more confident as the hour wore on. I’m lucky to have my kiddos and my family. It’s just very nice of her to go with him. My other daughter leaves for her camping trip tomorrow for her outdoor-ed class. We’ve been getting her ready all day. I’m afraid it’s going to be cold!! But she has lots of warm clothes and gear. I’m sure that she’ll be fine. I just worry. A mother’s job is, in part, to worry!! However, I’m sure she’ll be fine! Speaking of a mother’s job, my son just woke up and wants me. I am going to see what he needs. Then I’m going to sleep. So, I guess this is it for tonight!! Night All! 💤😴

The Spirit Scribe

I challenge myself to write 365 posts in 2016to heal Body, Mind & Spirit. Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
