OK, so between my fibro and other health issues I'm going insane! My rhuemy is labling me with undiff. Spond. instead of Ankylosing Spond. since I have not fused yet?? OK, well the MRI says I basically have AS but since my SED rate is within the normal range and I don't have the gene (which about
70% of people with AS have) I must not have it "yet." The treatment for it is working as well as we thought it would so now he's kind of ignoring it and trying to go with the fibro instead. Throwing different medications at it, none of which work even in the slightest.
My pain dr convinced me to try an SI joint injection saying it may help, well the pain from it put me into a bad fibro flare. Then my grandmother died yesterday and the stress from that and crying made my flare into a horrendous mess of sore tight muscles and an exhaustion I can't bare. We lost power last night and by the time we crawled out of bed this morning the house was down to 52, it was 11 outside! I made myself go to work just to get warm. Now I'm tired. I want to go home but I can't just yet. My husband and I work at the same place and he's launching a new site today and needs to be here for it. I'm too afraid to go home on my own then come back to get him. I'm just too tired. I'm so depressed and worried about my grandfather. It's really effecting my health. I tell you crying hard really hurts costo!!
But some ray of hope, my one SI joint is feeling ok. Not great but better then the other side. Of course I'm going to request being knocked out and having them do both at the same time if he wants to do it again. The pain was too bad, even with the vicodin and xanax. Of course him, his nurse and I all had a good laugh at me giggling before hand due to the xanax!
