   Oh........My.......God
I have never been in such pain as I am now. But I should start at the beginning.........

I woke up Friday afternoon, and there was this red mark on my arm, like someone slapped me. My forearm was tender to the touch, but I just assumed I slept on it funny. As the day went on, the pain got worse, and when I went to bed it was all up into my elbow. So, I woke up yesterday, and I couldn't move my right arm. -_- My dad took me to the ER at 1pm, where the doctors had (and still don't have) a friggin' clue what the hell is wrong with me. My right arm swelled up really bad, and the pain started to spread down my back and around my neck, and down my other arm. Then it started to feel cold - like when there's no blood circulation, ya know? So they sent me to another hospital to have an ultrasound on my arm to check for a blood clot. That was at 6pm.
So, we get up there, and wait SOME MORE. To sum it up, the blood clot's not there, they shot me up with stuff to take the swelling down, and they don't have a clue what's the matter with me. So they gave me.......not Vociden, but something that begins with an 'L' and is basically the same to take. So, I spent 10 straight hours in two ERs consecutively, not getting home until almost 12 that night. Good God.

The thing is, when the pain progresses, it doesn't go gradually - it jumps. Like, one moment my left arm was fine, and the next I couldn't move that either.

So, I woke up this morning and my arm was a little better, but still really stiff. I get up, eat, take a shower, all that, and as I'm lifting my leg to put my shoe on - my right thigh locks up. I think "Oh shit" and try again, hoping it's just something normal. But nope - now my right let is in extreme pain whenever I move it. My mom didn't want me taking the meds the doctor gave me because it's a derevative of opimium, but my dad said to take it because of the pain. I mean, he was with me all yesterday and saw how bad it was. It was BAD. So it dulls it a little bit, but I can't move that much anymore.

But I took a cane and made it out to Borders to get the last four vols of Fushigi Yugi, as well as the last vol of Imadoki. ^_^ You should've seen me limping around - I'm pretty good with that cane! So I took some of the meds around 6, but I'm still really sore. I can't put any weight on my leg or else is spasms and goes out underneath me.

You know what hurt worse? They had to draw blood for tests, and they couldn't hit the vein on the first try. >_< That FUCKING HURT! Oh my god........I sucked it up pretty well, though. But that's the worst pain I've ever felt, even more than my arms. And they wonder why I hate needles now....-_-

That's why I wasn't on yesterday - I spent my Saturday in the ER. I'm supposed to check in with my doctor tomorrow to let himi know what's up, but they don't have a clue what happened to me. (Or is happening.) The best they can think of is the B-19 strain of the pavrovirus (I think I spelled that right...), but I'm not displaying the right symptons other than the pain. And it can last months, according to what I found on WebMD.

And my STUPID FAMILY!! My dad, who's been through a lot of surgeries, understands what I mean when I say I don't want to deal with the pain, but my mom, grandma, and even my aunt (in NJ....) all say I shouldn't take the drug. So, I'm supposed to sit in pain instead? Screw them - they seem to think I'll be addicted once I take it. So much for my integrity, huh? Frigging......I'm still pretty pissed. I was in serious pain and my own mother won't let me take anything for it. What does she say? "Motrin". Good god, Motrin doesn't even work for my fucking menstrual cramps - what the hell does she think it's going to do for THIS, whatever the hell it is?!!?

I'm sorry - I'm just really in pain and extremely frustrated. I hate being like this - I feel like a cripple - and the doctors can't figure out what to do for me about anything. It hurts to type, but I wanted to let you all know what's going on. Ow......my right arm spasmed again. It seems to be moving down my body - at this rate I'll be paralyzed in two days. -_- Whee....I wonder if she'll let me take pain pills then, ya think?

Well, I hope everyone had a better weekend than I did, though I think that's to be taken for obvious, duh. I did manage to watch some more Virus Buster Serge with my dad tonight, at least, and I'm going to read the last vol of Fushigi Yugi later too. My next goal is to get the "Art of Fushigi Yugi" book. Can you imagine how awesome that is? And on Tuesday I get to get Advent Children and vol. 9 of Tsubasa, too! ^_^

Ow.....I have to stop now before it gets any worse. Damn, it really hurts! I'll see you all later.....

PG

I just wanted to add that if ANYONE tells me to suck it up, you'll piss me off enough that I'll take you off my friend's list. Unless this has happened, you have no idea what kind of pain I'm in, so you're not in a position to criticise, especially since this is the only place I can complain about it and not get yelled at about how I'm exaggerating and it's all in my head. (SHE wasn't there to see my damn arms swelled up twice there size......)
