Feb. 23rd, 2007 02:23 pmI'm having a rough day.
- Woke up with a distinct cold. Stuffy nose, sore throat, mild cough, the works. Coughing makes my ribcage pain worse. My body aches the way your body does when you have a cold, which doesn't help matters.
- There's a new and exciting weirdness happening in my body that has gotten quickly worse the last couple weeks. There's this patch on the outside my left thigh that has been experiencing numbness and pins-and-needles type stuff for about six weeks now. About two weeks ago it became more consistent and worse in pain, and about four nights ago I actually woke up to it hurting like crazy- like curl up and whimper hurting. I have been unable to put any pressure on it since, which makes sleeping extra annoying since I like to curl up on my left side (actually used to be either side, but haven't been able to sleep on the right side in almost a year). I left a message for my doctor today, but she hasn't called me back yet.
- The meltdown I had a couple weeks ago when I realized my purse had been stolen has resulted in a new depth of depression. I can't seem to break loose of it at all this time. I'm extra disoriented, and experience Sensory Input Overload way more quickly than I used to. Apathy has officially taken hold. Not sure what to do about this. Also something I need to talk to the doctor about.
- Got partway filling out the online SSI forms, and got stuck at the medical history stuff. I'm glad I'm finally taking the initiative to get it started, but now I'm overwhelmed, and need help. Finances are getting worse and worse, and if I don't do something soon... well, I don't know what will happen, but it won't be good. Hopefully, I'll actually eventually be approved for SSI, and I won't sink like a ship before that happens. As it is, I'm getting really tired of refilling my RXs week-to-week, and wondering every week where the money will come from.
I am really looking forward to the day when I have something to talk- I mean really talk, not just mention in passing- about besides:
1) CPT crises (haven't done this in a long time, but last we left off with my "normal" life it was all I could think about)
2) Pain
3) Medication
4) Money
Bleurgh.
