Chronic Pain Awareness

Happy TGIF everyone!

I am so glad that this week is over. Four more days of school next week. The kids are crazy and ready for school to be done... just like us teachers. End of year stresses are building up and making life more challenging that normal. Add on top of it all, I am in a pretty good flare with my neck and back. Went to chiropractor on Monday and sounded like Rice Krispies. I was really tight and out of alignment. Have to go back on Monday coming up.

In the meantime, I go from sitting to laying to sitting to laying. Pain from the base of my skull to my finger tips, shoulders, ribs, lowerback down my legs and into my toes. My nose doesn't hurt... except for the pimple on it. SO I guess that is good news.

Pain meds are not touching a thing. Ambien isn't working like it was for sleep. Sleeping better than I did before ambien but now having broken sleep again.

I know that some of my back trouble is fibro related but I also know that a lot of it is joint related. I have degenerative disk disease, bulging disks, scoliosis, bone spurring in my c-spine, thordosis in my lower back. Too tall... too much basketball... too much military... too much abuse

We'll, I've vented enough for now. I hope that everyone is doing well, feeling great and living life to the fullest.

Best wishes and soft huggies,
