With that said, although, déjà vu may be applied here; for albeit many similarities did come across with
what turned a somewhat ordinary day, into a miss-adventure one.
You see, last night was not a
good one, body-wise, specifically pain-wise.
I had more areas of me in
more places than are necessary for pain and discomfort and so with my
prescribed medications taken I hit the hay!
And that was just before nine
P.M. and it did not mean my night was to be restful with my grocery list of
ailments causing their utmost screaming matches on my ears eyes, neck,
shoulders, lower back and stomach too!
I finally got out of what
should have been a cozy warm cocoon, at a few minutes past six A.M.; sounds like
I had a long rest, hmm?
No, absolutely NOT!
As soon as I awoke I realized
that I was going to need some legit medical intervention.
And so I got showered and dressed,
thinking that could help a bit, that is the warm shower…but with me and the
Multiple Sclerosis component most warm showers make my back hurt more, and as
sure as the day is long again it did just increase that factor, oops! Of course
though on any NORMAL day within a half hour or
so the back pain would subside, but NOT today, oh no, NOT today!
And of course the shoulders
and eyes etc. all rallied for their slots in the making me miserable parade of
ailments!
My left ear ached so much I
started to have flashbacks to 1985 when both, oddly enough, number one son
then, at the age of thirteen, and me old enough to be his mom, both had
Mastoiditis, which is not contagious, and it was my intro into the use of
Cipro that was prescribed for both of us!
Below is the link explanation of
Mastoiditis:
Any-who, it was very painful
and I was wondering why and what was up with everything else, now even experiencing
mild periodic chest pains, WHOA, DOCTOR CALL!
And so I did, I called mine
that is, my GP and her appointment person said that she could probably fit me in
this afternoon… Well, I being me said how about your Walk in Clinic? And she said sure you could go there, and I asked
for the number and wow I was lucky, during the ‘rain storm’ they were without
anybody in there!
Hubby drove me up, of course,
and this was now around eight thirty A.M.
The nurse saw me first and
took my vitals they even gave me a cup to give them a specimen of my golden body fluid…
I don’t know the results of
that, but my vitals were all normal including my temperature.
In comes the male doctor and
listens to my heart and chest and says that I have inflammation from the MS and
that he is going to put me on prednisone a high dose and I told him I get a
diabetic reaction and so he acquiesced to the lower dose in the step down six
day one that I have had before! No more gym for a week or more, according to
how I feel that is…
Moist heat, and he wanted to
give me muscle relaxers and I said no that I have my anti-spasmodics and he
said maybe I shouldn’t have lowered the dosing… I let it go, but mentioned that
in the Baclofen I have been able to take it only when I seem to need it… He didn’t
look at my ears and I had realized it when we were leaving and so we were called back
in the room and he checked both of my painful ears and he said that they were
both fine; CRAZY, but good I guess! I love my MS, NOT!
Our old pharmacist that I still use
for short-term meds had the prescription ready by the time we got there, with
this crazy insurance I was thinking that we might be gouged not getting it
mailed, but thankfully my co-pay was only four bucks! The emergency facility
charges the same as the doctor’s office co-pay twenty-five bucks too!
Peace of mind, but not happy
with this exacerbation and we all know in the MS World if these pills don’t do
the trick I could be back on those horrendous IV’S of the Solu
Medrol for days at a time, which makes my glucose go up way
too high and my body get fatter too, and me with NO gym now!
Gosh, I have been here way
too long for any of this and my body is telling me to say goodnight to all of you
and that you should count your blessings and to kindly share all those overages with you know who and we
will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!
