Can't Sleep Yet

[fabrisse]

I ended up going back to the hospital last night. I'd had pain in my lower back for sometime, but it escalated rapidly.


After the diarrhea and vomiting of a couple of days ago, I've been on a bland diet fighting nausea since. I'm definitely better, but the pain and its sudden worsening alarmed me.

Long story short, I have a degenerative disc in my lower back (nothing out of the ordinary for someone my age), but the lack of exercise, lack of fiber in my diet, and inability to swallow my usual medications (which include an anti-inflammatory) meant that I was so constipated the pressure on the disc became excruciating.



So. I'm better or will be soon. I'm going to sleep for awhile.

Dammit. {{{{{{{ hugs }}}}}}} Back pain like that sucks huge. Sleep comes in little micro-naps.

Oh, man. That sounds like pure agony. *empathetic wince and wibble*

I'm glad you went in. And that there's hope for improvement on your horizon. *careful hugs*

Fabi, I was just thinking about you last night, wondering how you were feeling. I'm sorry you had to go to the hospital again! I hope you feel much better very soon. xoxo

PLEASE take care!! I've been fighting a stomach flu for the last day and it was awful enough, you've been fighting for a week and I REALLY hope that this turns around and that you begin to feel better.
