manage my health

at Kroger tonight, along with some groceries. Both of which should give me more energy…

I went into a spasm in my neck today…so bad my head has been pounding.

Stress is not my friend.

because things have been better lately. Maybe it’s because of that that I resent the intrusion when health issues come up again. Yesterday my pain doc gave me an injection of steroids into my back. Although that may be an effective way to treat my back pain, I immediately went into steroid syndrome….headache, disorientation, hyperverbal behavior, hyper-everything, not sleeping, feeling jumpy, and mostly feeling like crying for no good reason at all.

argh.

I really have to refuse treatments involving steriods, unless I’m using them for my asthma. Apparently most people don’t have a reaction this bad. Right now I’m struggling to keep a rational perception on the world, when everything in my body is screaming, “run! the sky is falling!”
