I don't remember if I blogged about this but I ran to CVS the day before the storm and I was standing there totally still not bent over or twisted and got this intense burning pain in my back. I hardly was able to make it to my car let alone get in, I almost had to call John to come pick me up. I got home and was in tears I was hurting so bad, John of course wanted me to go to the ER but I just paid off my last ER visit literally last week so I said no way. Well then I started with these pains under my ribs as well. Both sides. I can't even sit straight in a chair there is so much pressure and pain. Now weeks ago I had a little bit of a weird feeling on the left side under my ribs, but just really thought nothing of it. Well stupid me I should have. That was the start of it, weeks ago. I have pleurisy, the membrane surrounding my lungs is in inflamed and most likely infected. Instead of the membrane sliding against my lungs smoothly basically they are rubbing against it and causing a ton of friction. She said it could have been pretty much contained to that small pocket if I went in weeks ago but since I waited it is pretty bad. I am on a bunch of meds and need to go get some xrays to make sure no ribs are cracked which is sometimes a cause of this, but she said most likely the cause is my asthma and chances are I will be prone to pleurisy now. I am totally in excruciating pain depending on what I am doing or the time of day. I can really tolerate pain, but this is just awful, So I am lots of drugs, I was hallucinating an evil spirit was lifting my blankets off last night and starting screaming NO NO NO, my house looks like a giant dump, I am just feeling really crappy. And I am wondering why they don't make ace bandages/compressions wraps like they used to. Plain stretchy material with a little metal hooky closure think, they now make these awful self stick ones which are disgusting feeling because they are sticky, and they make me itch like the dickens so I am wearing a shirt under it.
