I have a connective tissue disorder, that I'm trying to get under control. That's one reason I'm trying to lose weight. The less pressure on my joints, the less pain...hopefully. I had a horrible episode Sunday...first, my shoulders dislocated. That wasn't too bad. I can put them back in, and it doesn't hurt too bad.
But then my hips went out. Oh. My. Goodnes. That was a ridiculous amount of pain. I was screaming, my husband was asking me what was wrong, but I couldn't get any words out. Obviously my meds were not working. I went to the doctor, she gave me new meds, again. They were actually the meds that she prescribed last time, but they weren't covered by my insurance, and at $230 for a ten day supply, they weren't exactly budget friendly. This time, she gave me a bag full of samples. We'll see how they work, and if it's worth it, we'll appeal to the insurance company to see if they can make an exception.
Today, I went and had my x-rays and bloodwork done. I had to fast for the bloodwork, so I didn't eat anything until this afternoon. I haven't gotten the okay to exercise yet either...My Doctor wanted me to take the whole week off, but I have too much to get done. I took Monday and Tuesday off, and I'm feeling better already. Let's see how tomorrow goes!
