hey guys.
I am having a hard day today. The hardest in a while. I feel run down, almost to the point of collapsing. BOth my kids are here (no school) and Its not going well.
I am having extreme fatigue. the kind where its like you are wearing a lead suit underwater.
I can barely get up! I did manage to do a faw things around the house.
I have head and neck pressure body aches, and i am possibly having withdrawls from my pain meds as I am trying to wean down a bit. maybe i will give up on that and just take the meds. it will make my suffering easier.
I have to get myself up and go get my dads dog who had suregery today in about 1 hour. ugh,
all of my animals have been sick, wounded and everyother darn thing the last 10 days. I should be grateful that they are all doing well so far.
I really could use one whole day to myself.
any support appreciated!! back to lie down for a minute while kids are with grandparents!

Hang tough honey, days like this are hard to take but try to hang in there.....they usually do get a little better. How is your infection on the abdomen? Hope that it is gone by now.
Big Hugs, Feelfit

I understand the frustration. Having a bad spell myself.
But I am sending you a hug and a little understanding. It will get better. It will get better. We have to keep telling ourselves that.

Sorry your feeling poorly. I hope today turns out to be a better day!
I agree with jenny. If you need the pain meds, take something.
A nap or a hot bath can sometimes help, too.
Have a better day, today!

I really think it is more withdrawl than anything,,,wean down SLOWLY. Like if you were taking 3 take 2 or even 2 1/2.
I recognize how your feeling from running out of meds unexpectedly and cant get them fast enough. I dont take them anymore tho,thank goodness.
Some of those you cant go off so fast,,,again wean off as SLOW as you can or your in bad shape,,like today and yesterday.
IF it is not the wean off too soon,,,I would be VERY surprised!!!

melissa, Well, withdrawal is most certainly playing a role, but my husband works alot, has a long commute, is at work at nights, on holidays, weekends, too. That can be stressful.

It's nice to be able to look forward to it. I hope it gives you the mental boost you need
