Living with Chronic Pain: Good and Bad Days
One thing I have found in the past few years since officially dealing with my chronic pain is that you have very good days and very,very bad days. Today was a very, very bad day.
About a month ago I found out I was B12 deficient. Remember when I posted about having a case of ennui? I was really low in B12. I took some supplements, but it was doing squat. I wasn’t taking them as regularly as I could, but they still weren’t having an impact. So my rheumo sent me to my GP to get a B12 shot and I continued to take the B12 supplements. I could not believe the difference in my body. I went from feeling like the walking dead to pretty close to my “new” normal. {fatigued but functional} My GP said to come back in a month.
Fast forward a month to this past Friday, I went back to get my second shot. GP’s orders were to get the shot but discontinue taking my supplements. She wants to see how my levels are after a month. Ok, sounds like a plan right? Wrong. I feel horrible. It’s only been 2 days but I didn’t sleep at all last night, my hands have been shaky since yesterday afternoon and I feel like the walking dead. Again. Since my rheumo can’t give me the shots, I have to deal with my GP. Do I call the GP and go through the long arduous process of getting her to listen to me only to have her charge me $25 that I can’t afford and basically do nothing for me? All I know is that I don’t think I am going to last a month. Argh! It was such a tease to finally start feeling better only to have it taken away. I know it’s a process, finding what works, but I am getting really tired of the “process”.
I feel like screaming!!!!!!!
