I'm about to post something intensely personal. I debated this for ... oh .... about 4 or 5 seconds before deciding to go ahead with it. I figure, what the hell. I'm frustrated with my pain level but even more frustrated with the Dr. I saw on Thursday. I absolutely hate feeling like I'm not believed. And because these are the experts, I begin to doubt myself, which also pisses me off. Then I will spend moments in my day, cursing the people who do this to me. I think I have tourette's syndrome. But anyway. Here it is:
Saturday - 4/22/06
Did not take Thursday PM dose of Celebrex. Reason? I was feeling pretty good, was half-angry with the latest Dr, and maybe was doubting myself.
He poked me in a few different places and pronounced that I did not have arthritis. Either his communication/beside manner sucks, or he's a terrible Dr. I sincerely hope (actually, suspect) it is the former.
Felt pretty good Friday. Worked at desk all day. Some stiffness, but nothing outrageous. Late Friday night, made love to husband. Afterward, relaxed in sitting/reclined position on sofa, watching TV. After an hour, got up to go to bed and was astonished to realize I could barely move for the stiffness and pain. It hurt everywhere.
Frustrated, I took a Celebrex and went to bed.
Anytime I moved during the night, the pain of stiffness woke me up. Slept until 10:30. Would have slept much longer, but helicopter outside woke me up.
Felt about half as stiff this morning as I did last night. Am debating 2nd Celebrex.
I won't know for two weeks the result of my bloodwork, but they did take 7 vials of blood from me. Hopefully they'll find something in that mess.
