Fun times

I've been getting hot flashes for the last hour. I got sick about 20 minutes ago and my tummy really hurts. One minute I'm sweating and overheated and then I am freezing cold. I'm craving coffee but I don't have any spoons to go make it. My partner probably went to bed at 7am. My back really hurts too. I guess I should take a tramadol and an antidiarrheal.#BackPain #ChronicPain Update: now I have a migraine. My skull is pounding. I'm gonna take a sumatriptan.

Ouchy

My #BackPain just spiked to 7. I took 2 tramadol and 2 hydroxyzine. I just put on my heating pad. My partner isn't home so I can't get a norco.i don't know what time she's coming home. Which is a problem because I got into the chocolate chips. I require adult supervision almost all the time. I'm like an 8 year old with access to adult privileges. Like who's gonna tell me I can't eat cake for breakfast? Other than my partner, she's a big stupidhead. I'm hoping the hydroxyzine will calm me down cuz my anxiety is high.

Exhausted

I didn't sleep well last night. I kept waking up every hour. I had nightmares about my dad and my partner. When I woke up I didn't have any pain but now my back hurts pretty bad. I took 2 aspirin and half of a Norco 2 hours ago.

My partner is getting a gift from me today. I ordered her a teddy bear hoodie dress and an eared winter hat. I hope she likes it. I'm giving her the hat today but I'm waiting till Yule to give her the hoodie dress.

I was hungry so I went to look in my fridge for food and found a bowl of leftover noods from last night. So I made them with sundried tomato Alfredo sauce and Parmesan cheese. Oh wow it was really yummy.

My partner is so thoughtful

She made me a pot of coffee this morning just before I woke up. It's delicious. She made the Nutcracker Sweet coffee which is really yummy. I added some pumpkin caramel syrup and a splash of oat milk. It's perfect. I was feeling very down this morning but now I feel better. She gave me half of a Norco and 2 aspirin but my pain is very intense. I'll have her put some CBD cream on my spine. My middle back is really ouchy. My entire spine is crunchy. Every time I breathe deeply something goes crrrrunch.

OMG owwww

I turned my back to reach for something and I got this sharp pain in the right side of my lumbar. Now my entire back feels like I'm being stabbed. I took half of a Norco about a half hour ago. But I probably should have taken a whole pill. We're trying to stretch the pills as far as we can. We already used all of the 5mg.

I scheduled an appointment with my opthalmologist. There's a potential issue we're trying to figure out. I've had atrophied optic nerves for years. Last year my neurologist found i have a narrowing optic chiasm. I've been struggling with double vision for 2 years. I'm just hoping it's NBD.

Intense pain

My spine just hurts. It's crunchy and the pain is at 7. The Norco didn't help.. my partner just put some CBD cream on my spine from tailbone to my neck. Then she had to put some on my right side of the back of my ribs. We're almost out of CBD cream but I'm expecting a delivery of 2 more jars this week. I should call my surgeon's office to ask what they think about me still being in so much pain.

I've gotta call my opthalmologist to schedule an appointment. I'm trying to stay calm but the MRI from a year ago found something that could be really bad. And my constant double vision is related to what they found. But when I asked my neurologist about it he said "I don't know, ask your eye doctor".

My partner and I did 13 questions for tonight's journal prompts homework. I'm trying to find some good ones for just the individual, but I'm not finding any that are deep and insightful.#BackPain #Relationships

Good morning

I woke up at 8am with horrible tummy pain. Long story short it's just gas pain. I've also got a migraine and My back is really hurting. I just took 2 tramadol and 2 hydroxyzine. I need a Norco but she's asleep. So I'm just laying down listening to music. I'm currently listening to Miike Snow. He's really good. I've been having muscle spasms on my head for 3 days. It's so weird. I'm considering changing my sheets and cleaning off my bed so my partner can sleep with me but her sleep schedule is really bad. She fell asleep at 7am. So maybe it's not a good idea.

Back pain

I turned wrong and my right hip went crunch and OMG the pain was shooting down my right leg. I can't take a pain pill cuz I took 2 tramadol about 2 hours ago. And I ran out of CBD cream 2 days ago. I ordered 2 more jars over last weekend. This pain is exhausting.

Pain

My skull is pounding, my entire back is awful, and my tummy is upset. My partner gave me meds 10 minutes ago. I'm wearing my heating pad and it's cranked up to 6 for an hour. I'm hoping the meds work. I feel absolutely miserable. I haven't had a BM since Saturday. But my partner went through my tea collection and we found a berry and aloe tea that tastes like bubblegum and makes me poop. I'll try making some tomorrow. Every time I move, my back goes crunch. I didn't sleep well last night... More nightmares about my dad. I had done so much work to deal with my PTSD and my mom undid it in 5 minutes. I've need to find journal prompts about PTSD.

Twice now the mighty goblins have eaten my post

My mom and I got into a big fight. I think this one will be the straw that broke the camel's back.

My back pain is at 8. I took 2 tramadol and 2 hydroxyzine. I am gonna attempt to meditate.
