My Intentions...
I was getting groceries out of our minivan and carried them into the house. There were quite a few but I make it a point to get them all and not make another trip back outside. Got them in the house and then sat down in my chair in our bedroom and my left arm felt really funny. Not heart attack funny. Different than what is usual for me. I looked down and it was shaking like a parkinson patient. My other arm started doing the same thing but not as much. My first thought was muscle exhaustion. But I have had that before, this felt completely different. It lasted for a long time. I took 3 prescribed muscle relaxants an hour prior. Had to take a 4th one which made me feel drugged. I am prescribed 6 a day. 3 at a time so this isn’t odd for me to take that amount. I fell asleep.
Woke up feeling really groggy and everything was swaying. Extremely odd. I was still shaking just not as badly as I was before.
I haven't posted anything in awhile. Probably because looking back on my pain journal makes me feel, almost segregated from the rest of the populous. I haven't met anyone anywhere that has my problems. I have met people that have similar issues but they were diagnosed with a certain condition that has already been ruled out by my doctors. So, what gives?
I have had many "episodes" in the past that I didn't bother posting about. If I did then my posts would consist of me just sounding whiney and pissy like, ow my toe hurts or eek my shoulders feel like they are getting ripped from their sockets, OH POOR ME!
I sure hope I don't sound like that. It really isn't my intention. If you look at the top of my page it says :
"A blog documenting my medical condition. Created in hopes that someone, somewhere will be able to help in my correct diagnosis and/or treatment. 1 flip to this coin. If people read/follow along, if they feel inspired, or suffer from the same affliction or similar, we all have an outlet to say NO MORE will I wake up and dread the day to come. We WILL find cause, closure, treatment, and life because we deserve it."
...and that is what my intentions are.
