treatment post #4
Time: 11:23 PM.
Current mood: miffed.
I didn't get the IV infusion done today because my skin test showed a positive result for TB exposure. In terms of respiratory health, this means virtually nothing, since 90-99% of Filipinos are TB exposure positive. But this makes all the difference for me in my arthritis treatment, because now Dr. Ong says I need clearance from a pulmonologist before I can start my infusion. Which will take around 1-6 months. I'll elaborate more in the morning. I came here just to vent.
I've been achy lately. Usually it's just my elbows that are in pain, but today and yesterday it's been hurting everywhere. Elbows, knees, wrists, ankles, even jaw. They all hurt not so severely, but the fact that they're simultaneously causing me pain just adds a whole new layer of ache.
So I guess I'm feeling extra cranky and tired tonight. I find myself getting inwardly upset over all the things I usually just ignore, like the mess in my room and the scratchy feeling of my palms and the orangeness of pajama top. The patch of skin where I got my skin test is itching. My pillow feels too flat. My mouth feels too dry. Everything is infuriating me.
And it's a thought that has stayed with me since I woke up. I don't feel comfortable in my skin anymore. It hurts to simply let my arms dangle from my shoulders. It hurts to shampoo my hair or put on pants. It hurts to pick up my cellphone and hold it to my ear. Every little thing is causing me misery. I'm so frustrated.
And what frustrates me the most is that the treatment will take soooooooooo long. I can't bear to wait another day, what more a month (or six)!
Blargh. That's it. I'm going to sleep. See you in the morning, folks.
