I havent really had any typical UTI symptoms, but I am starting to wonder. I think it's probably a good thing that I've been drinking a lot of water if I do have a UTI.
I'd go now to the urgicare to get that checked, but they moved. Used to be less than a half mile from my house. Now they're 5 miles down the road. (before that, they were renting space from my regular doctor's office) It's also snowing/freezing rain/sleeting/frozen crap falling from the skies.
I just want to cry because it's sooooooo uncomfortable. I dont want to go anywhere, do anything. I've hardly even showered because of the energy it costs me to do that. My dad is cool. bought me a basic shower stool last night without me even asking. When I had my shower remodeled, I'd gotten a teak shower chair, and it ended up not working because it was wobbly on the floor of the shower. (floor is angled to allow water to drain, the teak stool had solid wood legs, not adjustable. Gave it to my mom to sit on in her bedroom when she's drying her hair.)
I havent used the new plastic shower stool yet, but I'm seriously considering it right now. I'm just really tired and dont want to have to spend the energy.
I'm pretty sure part of why I'm really kind of bugged by what's going on is the weather. It's freaking cold outside, I havent been out of the house for about a week...or longer and if I were to go somewhere I wouldnt be able to do much before I crash. I want to sit outside in the sunshine and knit and get mosquito bites. (ok, I dont really want mosquito bites, but I want it to be warm enough to sit outside)
I'm actually looking into getting some acupuncture. (not telling my doctors!) and I'm getting stuff together to send to a doctor in TX to get some LDN. (not telling my doctors about that either. They already treat me like I'm nuts) My dad said that he could pay for a few acupuncture's to see if it would help.
It's just hard to sleep when you're numb/MS Hugged from the chest down to your waist. Tonight the small of my back is burning and the burning is going down my left leg.
I'm just hoping this flare will let up and let me go back to normal for awhile (if that's possible)
I hope I'm not whining and kvetching (complaining) too much.
