It's was a painful week that led to a shoulder blade attack at 3am Friday morning. At 6am I gave myself my humira shot. I should have injected a couple days early this week to maybe have avoided the pain in my shoulder blade, and I will try and remember that next time. Both shoulder blades had hurt all week, but whatever happened at 3am, I never want to experience again. I woke up to, what felt like to me, was someone stabbing me over and over again in my right shoulder. I got up and took a norco and 2 neurontin, and proceeded to fight through the constant intense pain. I went outside to avoid waking anyone up, sat on my stool, and smoked a cigarette to try and calm myself down, and wait for my medicine to start working. It was an exhausting and overwhelming experience. I went back to bed an hour later and slept for another hour and a half. After waking my son up for school, I took my humira shot. My right arm and hand felt sore and numb, like someone had punched me in that area.
I felt this way pretty much all day, and very tired. Probably because a couple extra neurontin, but I would rather try and stay ahead of the pain. Humira felt like it started working within an hour too. I believe I would die without this medicine. And that is another story.
I have not accomplished too much all week, but I feel grateful for the moments I have experienced, and am ready for a new week.
