im trying not to cuz i don't want to make me sicker from taking the excedrin migrane and then adding more on top of that
i have 50mgs of tramadol that would prolly help it just means the next 2 days im grounded....its my rule that when i take that im not allowed to drive and if possible go out alone at all because of how out of it i get but im so tempted to just so i can get some sleep and escape from all of this
the other problem with taking it is mom tries to monitor it for when i really need it as a last resort she doesn't want me to take it and could have used something weaker and then need it and be all out
i have this constant migrane that makes my stomach so upset and it feels like i beat my head against a wall or something and it makes doing anything really hard because i can't do loud sound or even go outside i keep all the lights off in my house right now to keep me able to function and then theres my arm killing me which are the main reasons i can't sleep
I understand where you are coming from, I walk to get my exercise. I invested in a tread mill for days that are too hot or cold or when I just don’t trust myself being too far from home. It really helps a lot. Walking works for me because I can control the speed and time I am execising. It serves more than one purpose, as it not only helps physically, but helps me to achieve goals, which boosts my morale. We need a boost in that area whenever we can get it. Sometimes I have to force my self to go, but I am always glad I did. When you walk everyday at the same time, your body begins to want to do it, it then becomes a routine in which you will come to enjoy.

I try not to but it feels like when im in a flare all i do is stay in my room n sleep
and now that its been like a week of doing this im so sick of my room and wish i could go do something then i try to get up....bad idea
the pains starting to get to the point where its waking me up at night this is so not going well
at least in 2 weeks i will be able to sleep as much as i need to
its like when im in pain i sleep but now the pain is making me tired but keeping me awake so there's no escape its making me have to suffer through it
I try to play with my wii fit if i can and i get alot of exercise in school my last 2 class periods i do alot of walking around
i set goals to try to feel like i accomplish something once in a while....I made a saying that i always turn to when things get hard and its Courage is the strength to keep moving forward even when it feels like everything is pushing you down
It reminds me that if i don't at least try to get up when i feel like crud then i will never feel accomplished there are so many days that i felt so bad but i have a rule i always have to TRY to go to school and i surprisingly started to feel a little better and made it through the day and i feel so much better because i know i can always say i at least try. You only fail if you never try.
So i finially gave in and took my stronger stuff earlier thus why im awake at 3am lol
It gives me this high that makes me rather awake ive been up for 2 hrs now so i slept a little
but man am i glad i did i tried to relax to sleep and my back hurt so bad from my neck and all the way down and when i tried to breath it hurt my chest and all the way around my ribs as well as for some reason my left arm is still bothering me im wondering if im sleeping on it wrong but it doesnt feel like that its different than sleeping wrong....if that makes sense
but then again the stress level also went through the roof today turns out im moving in a week now not a month so between mom starting a new job and me having school n starting finials soon we now have to pack the whole house this week :/ i went and hung out with friends to destress some but then i came home n all the stress n depression came back

when the pain gets so bad that it keeps me awake i usually take pain meds. Is there any way your doctor can give you something stronger than over the counter meds? another thing to try might be a bath with Epsom salts and bath oils. I hope you are able to rest today and feel better. Keep writing!
your so helpful in trying to explain what will help n having the patience to help me get through this flare that i don't know what i would do this set if i didn't have people who understand It's hard when no matter who your around they don't really understand or know because there's nothing to really compare it to
How would you explain how you feel to teenagers? like the pain the dizzyness the headache and the exaughstion or why my face changes colors or i have the butterfly rash they see it they just don't understand it shows im in a flare or not feeling well Im not sure how to tell them about all that n how its all because of one source
PS: mom said im looking better today when i got up there was color in my face she also said i felt warm....im thinking its because of the tramadol cuz i always feel hot when i take it but hey if taking something makes me stay warmer the pain go away and helps me sleep ill take it once in a while hopefully this wont last to much longer n it'll chill for the move next weekend
