Can you tell i'm excited? Hahaha too bad i'm not excited for shots of the alcohol variety. I am singing shots to the LMFAO song. lol I have issues.

Today I called the spine specialist to see if I can move up my next appointment from Friday. AND I GET TO GO TODAY!!! YESSS. I am so excited. Esp since the past week has been insane.  My goal is to get the magic shot that makes the pain go away!!!

I.have.been.in.so.much.pain.

Like my normal pain times 100000.  I don't know why but I can guess it is because of all the walking and running around I did in San Francisco.  Also, my pain meds no longer work! I am like immune to them.  So the little relief I used to get from them...is no more. I used to be able to lay on my back and my leg would feel ok...not anymore.  No matter how I lay or sit it hurts SO BAD.  When i'm at work I have to sometimes stand and work on my computer. Weird.  It's awful.  At this point I will pretty much do anything to make this feel better.

Here is what my nights are like.

5:30pm- Get home from work.  Pop some pills and lay on the couch on my back.

7:30pm- Still on the couch.

9:30pm- Still on the couch.  Pop some tylenol.

11:00pm- Move to my bed. Lay on my back. Somehow fall asleep.

1:00 am- Wake up in crazy pain.  Get up and walk around my apartment.  

1:05 am- Pop pills.

1:30 am- Fall back asleep.

5:00am- Wake up in worse crazy pain, cry. Walk around my apartment. 

5:05 am- Debate the pills....end up popping stronger pills.

5:30 am- Fall back asleep.

7:30am- Wake up for work. Exhausted from a terrible nights sleep. Snooze it.

8:15 am- Finally get out of bed. Have to be at work by 8:30.

9:00 am- At work...late as hell.

REPEAT x the past 4 months.

Yup...that is exactly how my life has been.  I hate to complain all the time but it is really getting me down.  I try to stay positive and mostly I am.  I can handle this, but I am about to break.  I want it to go away.  I am always in pain and always so tired from not sleeping.  I HATE popping pills all the time but it's the only thing that can help me not die in pain.  I am SO over this!

I hope the spine specialist can put an end to this and figure out how to make it go away.  I am ready.  I want to run again!!!!!!!!!
