February 7th Update

Having a tough day today. Dealing a lot of pain today and none of the medications I have are not working. I have a call into my family doctor to see if he can give me something stronger to help me through these flare-ups especially until they are able to get me in to see a pain doctor- this plan is what the specialist at U of L has suggested. He also suggested starting IV fluids and medications but I told him I didn't want to go down that road right now since the vomiting is pretty well controlled with oral meds, I'm pretty sure that I'm not dehydrated, and I need to save my veins for when I really need IVs.

I've been able to eat pretty well today without vomiting once. Due to the pain issues I'm having sleep issues too. I've probably only had 10 hours of sleep in the last 3 days. I'm just glad that can take this time to take care of myself and get healthy.
