For the past three days, I have had a migraine that will not subside no matter what drugs I take for it. I missed work for two days straight now. Imitrex, pain killers, other migraine medicine just are not cutting it. I believe it has to do with my immune system going out of wack due to my AS (ankylosing spondylitis). The last two days, it started with a bad head ache, then my body became stiff and sore as if I were coming down with the Flu, I got a fever (low grade) but still ended up freezing to death in 68 degree room temperature. All I did was lay in bed with the lights off and the windows covered up the best I could to make it as dark as possible with covers over my head so I didn’t have to deal with the light.

If I wake up tomorrow with a head ache, I am going to the docs office and getting a pain killer shot because I can not take this much more. I can deal with not being able to move and in pain due to my joints but this pain in my head has to go. I originally thought I was coming down with something but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

This weather I think is the culprit. It can’t just be warm out. It has to be cold, warm cold warm… etc… This is fucking with my body really bad. You know, I know pain. I live with it. When I get a migraine, most of the time I just want to die versus my AS pain which I just can’t move due to the physical pain and thats fine with me but this migraine bullshit has to go. I can function even at my worst with AS, but even the littlest migraine puts me down for the entire day or until it subsides. The medicines I have taken to relieve my migraine may have done more harm to my body these last three days then the migraine itself.

I am praying that this episode of pain is over…

I missed work today. I woke up and could not move my legs and or my elbows. AS/RA had set in over night due to a few reasons I believe. I quit taking prednisone over the weekend due to high blood pressure and high/low blood sugars. Also, the the weather kicked in too. It started snowing and got very cold. Not sure which was more at fault but either way it hurts like hell and disables a lot of the shit that I can do. I am so sick of feeling like this that it pisses me off. Nothing I can do about it. I am sleeping a lot more for some reason too. Probably the reason why I can not sleep right not at almost 2AM.

As of November 2, 2007 @ 1:30 PM, I am now a non-smoker. This Pneumonia is really kicking my ass. I thought for sure by now I would be getting better. I am still coughing up my lungs though…

Diagnoses: Pneumonia

This fucking sucks.  I am light headed, I feel weak and worst of all I can’t stop fucking coughing! Now with a headache.  I need some serious drugs to put out of my misery now.  Umm…  I have some 151 Rum…  That might do the trick.

Now I have missed 3 days of work due to this sickness. My son now is very sick. We are hitting the docs office today to see if there anything that we can do to get better faster. This cough I have feels like I am coughing up a lung or two. This thing has hit me so hard that I am now going to stop smoking for good this time. I will set my quit date sometime next week depending on when I can get certain meds to help me. I think we have some type of FLU since both of us have nausea and can’t breath when we start coughing. I was running a fever for two days. I got the strong feeling that my co-workers did not want me at work yesterday due to I might get them sick (can’t blame them either) as I would not wish this feeling or sickness on my worst enemy (well, maybe my worst enemy).  Last night was really bad as I could not sleep and or breath due to coughing up my lungs.  I personally and honestly would rather be at work and be fine then feel like this.  This blows.
