I'd forgotten

Hey Everybody...

I'm sure a lot of you understand when I say I'd forgotten what it was like to have a flare-up! So far i've been on Serta-25 (a.k.a. Zoloft) and lately it's been wearing a lil thin.. I just kinda attributed it to stressing out about wanting take my business to the next level. 2 days.. minimum range of motion...the headaches and worst of all the nausea... i just wanna talk to my friends.. but they just don't get it.. my poor mom's so worried about me again.and i'm worried that she's worrying and this whole vicious cycle of worrying goes through the roof.. And i keep thinking that if i deal with the pain that makes me a stronger person. and i'm beginning to think that's a stupid way to think and it's ok to take just enough of the medication to keep me going. I'd love to read what y'all think..

Much love and gentle warm hugs

Arielle

Yes, by all means, take your meds. I tried the be tough attitude and it just makes everything worse. When your in pain the longer you wait to take something for it the more diminished the effect is. Does that make sense. (confuse myself sometimes, LOL) I have a bad time with nausea too It took a long time to get the docs to listen becauseI had no obvious physical symptoms. After I ended up in the hospital, totally dehydrated from throwing up and lost 50 lbs. then they believed. I've been through several anti-nausea meds but nothing works very well. I hope you feel better soon, hugs Charlie :)
