I just want to whine this morning, but I will spare you...😉

@4meAndyou Oh whine away, it's an open invite. This is your safe space right now.

@SW-User Well, thank you!
I was realizing how many things hurt today. I used to whine about the seemingly permanent tendonitis in my right wrist, which happened during the worst of the pandemic, and which they told me would go away by itself in two years. (It hasn't). It's actually slightly better. 2 1/2 years in.
Now I can whine about my sinus infection, and the coughing that just doesn't want to respond to antibiotics. I am allergic to almost all antibiotics, and two of them that I can take have failed.
I coughed so hard last night I actually threw up, and had to sleep sitting up. Instacart bought everything on my list EXCEPT the cough drops I needed so desperately.
And the diverticulitis in my lower right side is a real party for me. Nothing is making the pain go away today. Feels sort of like what you would imagine appendicitis feels like.
My right knee is killing me, (arthritis), and I am sleep deprived.
There. I've whined. Got it almost all off my chest. Did I mention my chest hurts and my ribs are sore from coughing? And no, I have tons of home Covid tests here, so I don't have Covid.

@4meAndyou May I ask - have you ever visited a chiropractor? It may seem odd but if there is a trapped nerve somewhere, it could be causing a few of those problems.

@SW-User Yes, I did. The man was a quack. I needed surgery on the arthritis in the 3rd shoulder joint, on the left side, and this idiot pressed on the area as hard as he possibly could. I screamed bloody murder, and never went back. When a chiropractor never even bothers with an x ray, you know it's time to beat feet.

@4meAndyou I'm so sorry. I wish there was more I could do.

@SW-User It's okay. I am seeing my PCP tomorrow. Maybe she will be able to help with the sinus infection. And she might be able to give me a referral to the orthopedic place downstairs for a steroid injection.
