I wish this migraine would go away

by The Diva

My head is aching this week! I don’t know if it’s the weather or just me. It’s probably me since I suffer from some pretty severe migraines, but they’ve been better in the last few months – until now I suppose.

In the last 24 hours my head has been aching so bad I can barely do anything. Other than going out to the doctor for a scheduled appointment all I’ve been able to do is rest on the couch with an icepack on my head. I have shooting pains in the back of my head and sometimes I have visual disturbances – migraine auras that are something like the code picked up by a barcode scanner. All I want is for this migraine to disappear.

Perhaps if a thunderstorm starts up my migraine will go away once the storm passes?

Waiting to feel better …

Oh and speaking of storms .. when I am feeling better I’ll tell you about the tree that fell on my house a week and a half ago!

I can’t believe I have Arthritis in my knee

by The Diva

In the last year my knee started hurting more and more so when I saw my family doctor in March I told her about it again and she finally decided to send me for some tests.

I’ve always had problems with my knees. Ever since I was a kid. You see my legs just aren’t built right. My tibia and fibia are off to the outer sides. Yes I could explain this better, but without adding diagrams that will have to do. Lets just say that the bones just aren’t quite in the right place and that means that my kneecaps are everything else isn’t quite in the right place either so that means that I’ve had a lot of cartlige rubbing on bone for most of my life.

Needless to say, once my doctor finally sent me for tests ie an MRI of each knee, the test results came back that I had Arthritis in my right knee – the knee that had been aching so bad it felt like a tooth ache and had been giving out on me all winter. I’m sure that my left knee also has arthritis it just couldn’t be seen yet, but within a year or so there will probably be enough damage that it will be diagnosable too.

Now that summer is here my knees aren’t hurting quite as bad as they were in the winter, but I’m getting ready for next winter. I’m ordering a don joy knee brace so that when my knee is bad I can use the brace. It will give it more stabilization and I’m sure my knee will feel a little bit better in the brace as well. It’s got to help.

Certainly with the brace on I’ll feel a more confidant on the stairs. I think my right knee gave out on the stairs at least 20 times this past winter. That’s scary!

I’m also waiting for an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. Oh I don’t expect that I’ll be having knee surgery anytime in the near future. My knee isn’t bad enough yet, but I need to see a specialist to find out what kind of arthritis I have.

Noisy Neighbor Syndrome

by The Diva

I feel like I’ve barely been getting any sleep over the last few months. Actually I don’t just feel like I haven’t been getting much sleep, I know I haven’t been. I have noisy neighbor syndrome.

What’s noisy neighbor syndrome you ask? Well I’d imagine that you can guess what it is if you try. We live in a semi detached house so our neighbors house is attached to ours – just on the other side of ours. In other words there is a common wall between our two homes and likely due to the fact that our neighbors have hardwood floors we can hear all the jumping and running around that their two year old daughter does every single day from 7 in the morning until sometimes as late as midnight.

I have chronic pain due to Crohn’s Disease and other illnesses so I don’t sleep well to begin with and lately it seems that whenever I am just about to fall asleep my neighbors daughter starts up with her noise. So yeah … noisy neighbor syndrome … Anyone know how to remove dark circles ’cause unless I start getting a good sleep I think the dark circles under my eyes are going to become permanent.

Such a sore wrist

by The Diva

I seem to have hurt my wrist It’s actually been hurting for abut three weeks, but it’s getting worse and worse.

I have a bruised feeling on top of my hand just above my wrist and near my thumb and then the whole area around my wrist- especially the underside of my wrist just aches.

I think I’m going to just do a little maintenance on the computers tonight, maybe defrag the hard drives and for the rest of the evening I’ll wrap my wrist in a heating pad and see if the heat makes it feel better. I hope it helps. This pain in my wrist is waking me up at night.
