Venting about Pain

So to my blog readers, today, I just need to vent. If you have not read 30 Things About My Invisible Illness you should; it explains a lot.  My pain and migraines hit me hard a couple of days ago. I had been dealing with the pain for about 5 days and nothing I could take or do would relieve the pain. I was really suffering. I got to a point where I was just miserable. I tend to take a lot when it comes to pain. I've accepted the fact that I will more than likely experience pain in some fashion every day for the rest of my life. I got to the point where I had been in pain so long that I was irritable. I was "fussy" and nothing my DH could say or do would make me happy. I was hurting so bad I was in tears. I was just plain mad. I had taken medicine and taken medicine and slept and ate and slept and ate and tried ice and tried heat....okay so you get the point. I didn't know what else to do. I actually for the first time ever asked Chris to take me to the Hospital. He didn't take me but he consistently tried to calm me down. Eventually it worked and I chilled out and took more meds that I didn't want to take. Within the next couple of hours I was beginning to feel some relief. NO, the pain wasn't gone, but it was bearable. Thank God. I still have a slight "twinge" in my neck that won't go away but I can bear it compared to the pain I was in just a day ago.

For readers who suffer with Migraines, I have included a Headache Journal Worksheet for you to use.
