UGH!

Today is one of those days! I feel like a big ball of crap. After two years of trying to figure out why I have been in so much pain on my left side and discovering other medical issues, it was discovered i have two herniated discs in my spine. It took 8 doctors to finally figure that out. i had reached my breaking point and my gyne was at a loss to suggest anything else and finally said she wanted me to go to a pain specialist. My first visit he said he thought my spine was messed up and my discs were out of whack. One MRI later I had two herniated discs at the L3/L4 and L4/L5. So I have undergone three spine treatments that were a combination of medicine injections and shock therapy. I am now functioning at 60%. It's better than it was, thank God! I'm back to work full time finally after being on leave for three months.

But today it is really acting up and I must have ate something bad that is wreaking havoc on my digestive system, because since yesterday I have been worshipping the porcelain goddess frequently. The thing that sucks is I just had some kind of flu two weeks ago.

And on top of that, even though I have had my Mirena IUD going on 9 months, I still have my period. It stopped for awhile after the doctor discovered it was not providing enough hormones and I now take a hormone pill daily. She wanted to know at my last visit 4 weeks ago if I came off the hormone if I would start bleeding again. The answer is YES! I forgot to get my medicine filled in time and went a few days without it and almost 5 weeks later I still have a period daily. I was so getting used to not using pads or other methods of contraception. I'm thinking if it does not stop soon, I'll need to call her back to see what we need to do to get this stopped.

I'm tired of feeling sick and tired.
