Is it just me??

Talk about being fed up. At the start of the year, I had severe nausea for four days, lived on crackers, ice water, peppermint, ginger ale and ginger tea. Then I caught my husband's full-blown cold, and boy were a lot of tissues just that (full-blown). It was really crazy. Between the two of us I bet we went through three boxes.

So the only good part is for whatever reason it didn't develop into a cough. Yay.

Then I start having neck and shoulder trouble, kind of out of nowhere, but I did fall on my head back in June...and it seems my shoulder is not happy supporting my tablet, while my neck doesn't like looking down for too long. We have one of those pillowy things that can hold it, but I still haven't found a good position that works.

I do take breaks and move my head and stretch. Maybe not enough.

So I'm going to a really good chiropractor, and his adjustment to my clavicle is what immediately helps the shoulder. Sometimes the pain from that goes down the arm and into my thumb, and it feels like nerve pain. (I'm glad the Lyrica's working ) But hardly active me can't seem to hold the adjustment. It doesn't help that I'm almost blind and walked smack into a pane of glass I didn't see the day after that great adjustment. Another hard hit to my head.

Lastly, still with this shoulder issue, I'm back to feeling nauseous!! It's been three days so far.
What fun.

And so, my question I put out there is this: Does anybody have daily battles without letup?
I mean, I hope not. But I truly cannot remember the last time I felt anywhere near "good."

@30 plus years .....wow, I am so sorry you are going through all of this! Ack. One thing on top of another which piles on top of the last thing, and it just seems like too much.

I don't have the same issues you have but I know that feeling. Sometimes I just want to stand up and yell "Cut it the heck out!". The only thing that gets me through those times is knowing that everything changes, and when things are bad there will be a corner you get to turn at some point and things will get different. I always say "different" because there's no guarantee things will get better, but they will be different. Sometimes different is better, just because it's different. Or so it seems to me.

Don't know if any of this helps at all. I hope it might, just a tiny bit. But at least, know that you are not alone because we here on this forum are pulling for you every day. Hang in there, strong lady.

@sunkacola Your empathy is more than a tiny bit. But you call me strong?
Maybe crazy is more like it.

Not crazy, I don't think...........unless we all are!
And I think you are very strong. Just getting through each day when you are going through everything that you are dealing with right now requires immense strength. Be sure to give yourself credit for that, because you deserve it.

Thanks. I needed that.
