Happy Hump Day!!!

If only I had a camel that would walk across the screen... or in real life! Man that would be so cool!!

Today here it is cold and rainy. My skin feels as if I have 3rd degree burns across my entire body, my fingers and legs hurt. One different symptom for this time is my back and neck having pain. Last year I don't remember it affecting my torso this much. Up both sides of my neck across my shoulders and down my right side of my back feel that they are in constant strain. I have a full day of work ahead of me and it is currently not going too well. I have on a hoodie and sweats. Due to the my skin burning when  the wind blows or when something touches it I put on a tighter fitting long sleeve shirt to act as a second layer of skin that would protect my actual skin. Today seems like the day where everyone is touching me!!! I just want to scream out but instead I scream silently in my head.This has helped a lot. I also joined a support group on Facebook but they seem to complain a lot and it seems like there is not ever anything happy that happens to them. LOL I try to keep the complaining to a minimum and focus on the good things.

One of the things that has helped me through is setting small goals such as: make it to the car, make it in the house, make it through work, buckle up... then I cheer myself on when I reach these small goals. I also listen to music as much as possible. If you're just getting to know me I looooove music! It calms me and gives me energy. I have gone gluten free and am not eating sugar or meat this week. Right now I just want something good. Something fried and or something chocolate. Or some mac and cheese would be so comforting right now.  Enough about food. I am at work and we just won our special needs basketball game.  I am so excited!!! I cant wait to see what else great happens today! I will update you guys soon. Have an amazing day!!

P.S: If this doesn't make sense I am heavily medicated so forgive me! LOL!!

Bang Dem Sticks

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: I teach a class called Pound. It is amazing class with drumsticks that you bang together and lots of movement up and down, on the ground, back and forth. It is an amazing full body workout that I absolutely love. Today's class was horrible! Absolutely horrible! I went to hit my sticks together and my pointer finger radiated with pain. I dropped my sticks (which very rarely happens to me). I kept teaching but let go of my left stick. When we got down to the ground my hip area hurt so bad that I could barely sit, much less move side to side. I was in so much pain throughout the class. I managed to smile through the class but I just wanted to cry. But there are people to help get fit and no time or crying. My fingers also feel like I have blisters on them when I text or use them to type. And without texting you cant post to FB, IG, or talk to friends. I do all of the above a lot. Today was a very quiet day. How I felt: Scared. Wi...

The Longest Night

Note: Start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Two days ago I quit taking my Neurontin cold turkey. I did not know that you were suppose to wen yourself off gradually........I went from taking 1500mg to nothing. Help me Holy Spirit, Sweet baby Jesus! I need the father, the son and the Holy Ghost!!! All three right now! I am sweating like I  have been working out, my head hurt soooo bad and I cant stop trembling. This post wont be long because my vision is a little blurry but I wanted to write to explain the way I feel right now. It is 3 am and I have been up since 11 pm trying to not throw up or call my mom crying. I googled reactions to coming off of  Neurontin and I match most of them. Oh dear LAWD!!!! If this is what it feels like to be on drugs and come off....Never get on them but if you do just stay on them (yes this feeling is that bad). Every time I close my eyes there are images of Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and other characters from Looney Tunes but only half of th...

Back to McDummy

Note: Please start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Well the Neurontin is not helping and I have not heard back from the nurse with the results from the last visit on Feb. 28th. So I went to see him. His receptionist said that they are down a nurse and that she would be calling me with the results and making the call to set up the appointment with the nerve conduction specialist. Me: What??? She hasn't called yet? Are you serious? She was picking up the phone when I left your office last visit. You mean to tell me since then she hasn't had time to make one phone call? Her: Ma'am calm down please. There is only one of her. Me: There is only one of me. But you didn't mind charging me my copay regardless of whether I could pay it, you don't care that I came to you in pain and am still in pain possibly because she didn't do her job. No, I will not calm down.  (Within one hour she called me with my appt and blood results. Blood results showed nothing)...
