So I have been miserable for several days now. Really it all started on Thursday when my sciatic nerve started to act up.
Mr. W is convinced that his little spawn is using Mommy's back and sciatic nerve like a tiny punching bag. I am not so sure that I don't believe this.
It kept hurting on Friday, and I kept going as usual, but by Friday night the pain was making me sick.
Tylenol? I laugh at thee. It may be a great fever reducer and help out in a pinch, but when shooting pains are making you want to collapse with every step, Tylenol is more of a cruel joke than anything else.
I am a loyal follower of ibuprofen in most cases where pain is involved. It allows me to function when I am miserable, and usually at least improves whatever the problem may be. It doesn't always cure, but it helps.
Nope, off limits.
Not supposed to have any of that right now:(
So after 4 days of feeling worse and worse, 3 bouts of feeling like I am going to puke all over the floor or pass out somewhere, 1 incident in the grocery where Mr. W and the freezer kept me from hitting the floor, and one night where Mr. W had to pull me up off the floor so that I could go pee after falling when I tried to walk to the bathroom, I am getting a little tired of this crap.
They say when your sciatic nerve bothers you that you are supposed to keep moving. The problem is that the more I try, the more the nausea comes on and I want to faint or vomit.
Maybe the Little Monkey will roll over so that I can have my right leg back, or maybe it isn't his fault at all, and my stupid, mindless uterus is pushing everthing out of order back there.
I know two things, though.
1. I would be a terrible patient for chronic pain, because asking Mr. W to do stupid things like pick up something off the floor or help me stand or even run out for something because I don't want to chance going to the store alone, is really getting on my nerves(no pun intended).
2. Tylenol sucks
