The doctors did tell me it may take up to a week to start feeling close to normal, and my medication reads that I will feel cruddy on it for up to a week as well.
Honestly, feeling a little blue today. I am just so over feeling this bad. I could handle it if I was just feeling under the weather, but four+days of this intense pain is taking its toll on my mood.
Thanks again for your well wishes, they really do help boost my spirits. |
Well, how about just spoiling yourself with some downtime to let those meds kick in?
It sucks being debilitated by any sort of illness/condition, I know. However, I found that state of mind goes a long way towards helping. For example, when I can't sleep and I've been up for 48 hours straight or I'm down with a cold, I sort of self talk positive emotion like, "Well, to heck with the house, studying, cooking, etc. I'm awake, I can't do anything about it but I can control what I do whilst I'm awake/ill and I deserve to read that new book, or watch that show I've been meaning to watch and this is only temporary.." It makes me feel better to focus my attention on the things I can control..
Good luck and feel better x
