Pain sucks. Yeah, I knew that already. And I’ve spent many nights up awake, in too much pain to sleep until my eyes started to close themselves. However, this is different. It’s horrible, nauseating, and has not gotten better within an hour of a vicodin and a flexeril. Because I have four horrible pains.

1. I have a horrible sinus headache because trees and grass and flowers are blossoming. Every sinus on my head is swollen and hurting.
2. I got my first period in 6 months. How is that possible? I’m on the three-month birth control pill, Seasonique, and three months ago my period came late and barely lasted for 1 day (it was more spotting than anything). Since I have fibromyalgia, my muscles get achy from being contracted/used as they usually are, and hurt a lot if more than usually used. So, since I haven’t used my uterine muscles for 6 months, well, a surge of cramps will cause nauseating pain.
3. My grandmother-by-adoption (and marriage) broke her wrist and a good friend broke his hand. Since everything happens in 3s, I thought “who’s next?” as I was walking on the stairs. And my left foot turned. So my ankle is killing me. The only way I know it’s a normal turn/twist and not broken is the lack of any swelling or discoloration. Stewie is lying on it now, and it’s feeling a little better. But I did something to my left wrist as I tried to break my fall and that’s hurting as  I type.
4. I’m an idiot. That given, after the couch and chair were delivered, I moved and turned them (they were heavy, but on sliding casters) so that they switched sides of the seating area of the tutoring room, and then moved them back 6 hours later. Now, my arms (especially my left arm) feel like someone tried to rip them out of the sockets.  Again. I felt this way shortly before we went to LA, and couldn’t even hang shirts up, only this time my neck kills, too.

I better feel better quickly, because I’d had plans for this weekend involving putting books on shelves and clearing 2 kitchen counters!

Ahhh… it felt good to get that whining out. Thanks for listening.
