I have been suffering from extreme pain, weakness, and fatigue especially over the last 10 days. I started antibiotics 11 days ago, so I should be feeling better but by two days ago, I realized I was getting worse and not better. I called my wonderful doctor and she talked me into taking Gabapentin (“But Maddrey I don’t want to take a whole bunch of drugs dude!”) and it helps, so much. The pain I am feeling is in my upper back, from my shoulders down to the bottom of my rib cage. It is such a strange and specific pain and very intense, like burning beneath the surface of my skin, all through my tissues. I hate it!!! I had shingles about 13 years ago and the fatigue of this reminds of shingles, but this is not shingles.

I have often said about my self that my brain/mind is strong and good, my heart center is good and loving, I am working on my emotional health and my tendency to copy parental patterns of controlling codependent behavior (what a challenge! But I think it is getting better), but my bod! My bod sure likes to get illnesses and I am hoping we can work on that as well. I am not sure why I am so sensitive to illnesses, but here we are.
