I had an awful night last night. In fact, I had an awful day yesterday.  Yesterday was my birthday, so it was supposed to be a good day! Well I had fun and I love my life but I felt miserable.

I did obedience with Chase and Levi on Saturday and Sunday. But I felt okay. I mean, I didn’t feel like jumping or running around with lots of energy, but I didn’t feel miserable either. Monday was Memorial Day, the holiday, and I stayed home all day. I had some puppy excitment that day I can’t talk about so I was a bit manic, but other than that I seemed to feel okay.

Monday night I went to bed about 9 like normal and I had five dogs in bed with me.  Which made it hard to sleep but usually I’m okay anyway. But I woke up Tuesday morning and felt like I’d been hit by a truck. I was so completely tired and all of my muscles just hurt, in every part of my body.

I went home a couple hours early from work on Tuesday and came home and went to bed for an hour and a half. That seemed to help. So I got up and cleaned up my spare bedroom a bit, then sat and watched Land of the Lost from the 70s for a couple hours, then went to bed.

However, I could not sleep at all.  My muscles all were in excruciating pain.  They felt like they were on fire.  Not like a flaming orange fire, but like a smoldering red coal fire that is left of a camp fire after all the flames are gone. I don’t know how else to describe it. But I could not sleep so I listened to my Charles deLint audiobook off and on all night. I finally decided, at 2am, that there was no way I’d be able to function at work on Wednesday so I called my boss and left a message saying I wasn’t going to make it into work on Wednesday.

I ended up falling asleep about 3am after I took a hydrocodone for the muscle pain. I think it did help the pain go away a little bit.  I should have thought of taking one earlier. Bleh. My mind wasn’t working either.

So I slept until about 11am today. Got up, am working a bit from home, and taking it easy.  This has happened before.  I think it’s taken me a long time to find words to describe the pain I go through. I don’t think I really did anything to cause it.  Nothing that was very high activity or stress or anything. Ugh. I hate this. I think there is more than Mono going on. Maybe Lyme, maybe Fibromyalgia. I don’t know. I have an appt with a doctor on June  15th, Monday, to find out. He’s an MD and he knows about Lyme and he also uses holistics in his practice. And, he’s on my  insurance, yay!

I will try to take it easy until then. I am weak today, I feel so tired and my body is so very weak. And I can still feel a bit of the muscle pain too.  Maybe I should try another pain killer. Or maybe a Colonix would help… ugh I just don’t know!

On this day..
