Extreme Pain...

I have suffered extreme pain for the last week or so, it's mainly in my legs but my upper body is in pain too. I have tried taking paracetamol on top of the meds I am already on but paracetamol touches nothing but a mild headache for me. I want to go back and see the doc and see if anything stronger can be prescribed, but we only did my medication review on 20th of July so it might look a bit dodgy me all of a sudden complaining that my pain relief just isn't doing it's job.

I have got to see him soon about the antidepressants so I suppose I could mention the extra pain then, I think it's just a co-incidence that I experience more pain upon changing antidepressant surely?

I have been bed bound mainly and I don't like it, luckily with the children going to Holiday Club it's not affecting them, but I don't enjoy spending most of my days in bed.

I was in bed when Mum and Dad came round yesterday, I tried to sleep as much as possible so that I was a good hostess and didn't feel grotty when they were here, thankfully they didn't stay very long, and Emma who came afterwards didn't stay all that long either and we had a chip shop dinner because I was too exhausted to even think about what to put on our plates.

We're supposed to be going out when the post has been as it is Bronny's birthday and she wants to go clothes shopping, I'm really not looking forward to it, but I promised her we would go and I'm not going to let my health get in the way.

I'll have to see how I get on and then decide whether I need the doc's intervention or not.

Huggles to all
