I Am Having a Very Bad Day

Third night with no sleep. Hurt my back reaching too high on a shelf. Desperately need pain pills. Took Tylenol and, for the first time in my life, it upset my stomach blowing it up like a balloon.

Headache, bad flare up of arthritis because it is starting to rain. Back screaming with pain but afraid to make sick stomach worse by taking pain meds.

Doctor appointment way too early today. Don't want to describe it but it did not go well at all. Convinced my HMO wants old ladies like me to crawl away and die.

It feels like every part of my body hurts. Thanks if you read this, feeling lonely, sick, tired, needed to vent.

That sounds awful, I’m sorry you’re going through that. I find it hard to get anyone to take Heath issues seriously, even doctors. Hope you feel better soon!

@SW-User Thanks. It helps that you took it seriously. I think HMOs are waiting for the baby boomers to die off.

@greenmountaingal That's ok, even at my age i can relate to some of what you have described. I find that if i go to the doctor i need to have something either visible or easily diagnosable. Anything else and they just tell me it's anxiety or something.

@SW-User I believe in God. I just don't think He wears a white coat and a stethoscope.

@greenmountaingal Finding a good doctor is like finding a good relationship, and about as difficult too. Most of them are like going on bad dates where you come home thinking, i can't believe what just happened.
