Ugh, sick

I hate it when my mother is right. She said, “You are going to do too much in the move and end up having another one of your pain attacks.” Harumph. Here I am in pain. But this one is different…

It started about two weeks ago when we went out for dinner. I had about two sips of beer and got a horrible pain/nausea in my belly and had to stop drinking and eating. I love beer and this is never a problem but suddenly the beer made me sick.

Then the next day I woke up and felt extremely dizzy, light-headed and nauseated. Spent most of the day feeling bad and actually stayed home and slept all day the next day.

I’ve had similar experiences since. Fast forward to today. My arms, shoulders and feet have started burning again this week along with major numbness in my fingers and toes. I am constantly dizzy and low-grade nauseated and have been feeling really run-down and exhausted. Yesterday I almost fell asleep at the dinner table. I’m taking all of my anti-seizure meds and the Cymbalta for the pain so none of this should be happening. I’m also taking all of my vitamins and drinking water like a camel. Grrr.

I’m going to give it another week and see how I feel. My period is due any second now so it may just be a weird PMS-related thing but if I can’t shake it, I guess I need to go back to the neurologist. The good news is that I have gone a full six months without major pain (last long-term cycle was in January). The bad news is that he will probably want to either increase or change my meds. Blah.
