Well, its a brand new day...but the same old problems..

Pain pain go away, come again NO other day!

Wow. I had what I fondly refer to as a Merry Sickmas. Everyone in the family was sick, literally EVERYONE! Then, on Christmas Eve night, I got horrendous stomach cramps, so bad that I thought I needed an ambulance because I could not move. This may not seem like such a major problem to most people... take some meds, get it under control and no sweat, right? WRONG! The meds I had to take to get it to stop- Im allergic to it in some way. Phenergen (used for nausea and cramps) makes my body restless all over but it also, for some reason, causes me to be in EXTREME amounts of pain for days. I feel inflammation in my joints and pain in all my muscles, even worse than I normally do. They are still trying to get my pain meds leveled out where it is in a working level so I have spent the days after Christmas taking care of my poor sick little boy..and trying to do so while I am not even at a functional level myself. This is just bull honestly. People do not understand what it's like to have to live like this. All they see is the pill bottles and they assume what- that I'm a druggy. But, the second they get the flu and feel exactly what I feel everyday the first thing they do is what- reach for a bottle of meds to get them through it. But the thing is, my meds get me through the day. Theirs, it gets them through the sickness which disappears in a week or two. Mine? It never goes away!
I guess it's a double standard; it's all good for someone to take meds when THEY need it, for as long as they need it but God forbid if a person has something that DOESNT go away.
