Issues

Well these last couple of weeks I have just been filled with issues. Lets be honest. On a 1-10 scale and 1 being no pain and 10 being the most pain I would say I was around an 8. 10 is giving birth 9 is kidney stones and and 8 I figured was a good number to settle at.  For reals the worst physical pain I have like ever felt. Well you know after weeks (a little over three weeks) of being in pain and a lot of convincing I decided it was never going to go away and something might really be wrong with me, I called my Doctor and set up an appointment to see what was really wrong. He said I pulled, hurt, irritated, stained a back muscle. (I really do not remember that the doctor called it. But, it is all basically the same thing...I think) Then continued to say that there is nothing really that you could do about it. ARE YOU JOKING ME? I was a little up set when he said this. Actually a lot upset. A tear or 2 might have come out of my eyes when I told my mom (who is unforchantly on the other side of America) what  my doctor said. He told me to put a heating patch on it and try stretching it which it nearly impossible because it is the middle of my back and to take at least 600 mg of ibuprofen every 4-6 hours. Sounds simple enough right?
GUESS who is allergic to ibuprofen? ME. Guess who found that out the really hard way? ME. So now my stomach is TORN up. Lets be really very honest. I itch everywhere also. There is no visible hives but holy cow do I itch EVERYWHERE! Back to my stomach. Worst pain ever. I cannot laugh, breath, walk, stand, sit, lay, do basically anything with out being in pain. So I called my doctor again and he said to stop taking the meds which I already had done and he got me some muscle relaxers and told me to take Tylenol for my back pain and some other meds to flush out my system.
It has almost been 5 days sense my stomach started to hurt. Today is the first day that I have not slept almost all day long. But I am still keeping an eye on my fever, the color of my urine and stools, and where the pain is located. It has been a party. I would never wish this on anyone. One step at a time. We will see how I am doing tomorrow because one second I am good then the next I am not so good.
