I hate what they do to me, and as much as it is against every fiber of my being, I'm having to take them. From antibiotics to muscle relaxant, I'm having to down them all.
Yes, I'm suffering a most horrible bout of musculoskeletal spasm... no wonder it hurt so much when trying to take a deep breath. Bronchitis has gotten better, though. I can hardly sit up with my back straight, let alone walk. The doctor said he didn't know how I managed to get to the hospital on my own. Did you know you can bruise your ribs due to coughing?
This is how it feels to me -like I'm downing poison. Every 6, 8 and 12 hours, there's always something I should be taking -doctor's orders. What's worse is that even the Flexeril I'm taking for relaxing my muscles, only slows me down, in the head, and makes me sleepy. My muscles don't feel relaxed any.
What I want is a massage therapist, acupuncturist, the scent of candles and nice soft music.
Shit. It's taken me a full 37 minutes to write just these few little lines. :o(
Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself.
Can you get a massage and light some candles as well? Sounds like if you had bruised ribs from coughing and bronchitis that the medicine was probably necessary. But no reason you can't do the other as well to keep your spirit healthy while the body heals. And yes Flexeril will make you feel that way. It relaxes everything! Hang in there. I hope you feel better soon.
Oh gosh that sounds horrible!!! I agree, a massage and candles sound better than popping pills to me.
Get better soon there, bucko. I'm down with flu-like symptoms here. Ain't a whole lot of smiley goodness in being sick and feeling like shit.
I know a good massage therapist, if you need a recommendation. She's working in Celebration which is quite a drive, but she's good. I used to work with her at Disney in Entertainment (hint hint, nudge nudge).
