Uncertanty
Yet another night where I cannot get to sleep. I know it's nothing but the devil trying to distract me.
There are so many things on the horizon, that to say I feel overwhelmed and lost is an understatement.
I have had three procedures on my spine to relieve the low back pain, but it's back. I can walk around my apartment, but standing still makes me dizzy. I attribute it to my being lower to the ground in the electric chair.
From where I sat my center of gravity wasn't so bad, but as I stated before, standing still makes me dizzy and I feel as if I will fall again. When I had the radio frequency done on Tuesday, I expected to be completely pain-free, sore from the procedure for a few days, but when I attempted to make dinner, it was less than five minutes in when the pain in my hips and low back came back and I had to sit down for the throbbing to stop.
I have been in constant pain the majority of my life. All of the women in my mother's family have some form of rheumatoid arthritis, but my last doctor more or less dismissed me. It took for Dr. Jose Polanco to refer me to Dr. Robert Ycaza for the management of my pain.
The doctor's made the decision to take me off of the ibuprofen due to it damaging my kidneys. I am on the tramadol now for pain. I really try to get in four doses, but my sleeping pattern is real erratic and troublesome. I know it's because of having to have so many appointments in the last five months.
Dr. Ycaza has a natural ibuprofen called Lembrel, but Medicare will not pay for it. According to them it is an over the counter medication, therefore, not covered by my prescription plan even though the dosage I take on the packaging clearing says "by prescription only" so I have to appeal the decision to get my medication paid for.
Even though I am uncertain, GOD will work this out either way.
