Crazy Week

This has been the week from hell. I have never felt so much pain in my body. Every joint is screaming in pain. I could barely get out of bed or get myself ready,etc. It has been awful.

I went to my doctor's office where I saw a P.A. I saw her Tuesday and then again Friday. She doesn't know what is wrong with me. On Tuesday she did a CBC. Everything was normal. On Friday I explained to her that is is getting worse, not better. She doesn't know what is wrong with me. She tried to get me in to a rheumatoid doctor. No luck. Not til Monday. She ordered more blood tests. She gave me a sample of pain medication, Ultram ER and a prescription for Mobic an anti-inflammatory. I got it filled and came home.

My family is gone this weekend to a family reunion out of state. I am home alone. While I waited in Walmart for my prescription to be filled, I made sure to pick up fruit and healthy foods to have over the weekend. Got home, took meds. No improvement in pain after an hour. I took 800 mg IBU. That helps. Rested and went to bed early. Got up during the night and took another 800 mg IBU. Saturday morning I felt alot better. I only had slight stiffness, swelling and pain in my hands. The rest of me felt much better. I got alot done. Probably too much. I did laundry. I studied, we have a test Monday. I took a couple of naps during the day. I was optimistic that maybe it was finally going to go away.

When I woke up this morning (Sunday) I was sore all over again. Not as severe as it has been. But still, much worse than it was yesterday. During the night I had waken and taken IBU. I took it again this mornig. I am taking 800 mg every 6 hours. I hope I am not eating away my stomach or intestines. My hands are still worse than any other part of me. What in the world could be wrong with me??? I have looked alot online and can not find anything like what I am experiencing.

Tomorrow I have that test. I haven't studied near enough. Should I take the test or take an extraction from my final exam. That is a good question. I do not know the answer.

My family gets back home tonight. I hope my husband can take the kids to school tomorrow morning. I know I am not going to be in any shape to do it.

I am scared this is something very serious. I hope I get to see a rheumatoid doctor tomorrow. I hope he/she can tell me what is wrong with me and offer me a solution.
