How much more crap am I going to have to go through before things start "looking up" for me? And I'm talking about my health. I say about 2 weeks ago I noticed I started having really bad headaches... daily. Along the way I've had a few people suggest taking allergy medication at night and try to get a good night's rest... well I finally bought some, and did... and the headaches started to subside.. that was relief.
Then, last week I noticed the side of my mouth was bothering me where I had bitten it one night while eating... by the weekend there were not one, but two canker sores on the left side of my mouth.. one on top of the other. One was bigger than the other.. and they were in the worst spot ever. My tooth constantly hit it when I talked, moved my mouth, or even smiled. So needless to say I didn't say much or give out too many smiles that weekend. The severe pain followed me to this week and at work. I did invest in Anbesol, but all that crap did was numb me for what felt like a half hour! Then it was back to the unbearable pain.. I'm surprised I haven't lost weight because I haven't been eating because it hurts to. I will admit the pain has significantly gone down compared to when they first appeared, but it still is painful to eat. As long as I don't move my mouth much I'm fine... I stopped using the Anbesol. It still hurts like a b*tch in the mornings when I brush my teeth though.. this might sound disgusting, but I haven't brushed the lower left half of my mouth since the sores have been there because it hurts like f*cking hell. And yes I'm cursing because it hurts that damn bad.
But no, it can't end for me there.. not with the healing canker sores. Since last week, I have acquired a small, yet consistent hard cough. It has been present ever since. I purchased Vicks Dry Cough and that crap seems to stop my coughing for a half hour as well, but the directions say to take every 6-8 hours.. How the hell do they figure this medicine is going to stop my cough for 6-8 hours?? I'm just so upset because I take the medicine that only lasts for about a half hour and then I'm just stuck having to deal with the cough for another 5.5 hours since I cannot take more. A good friend who works at a pharmacy suggested Delsym, but that crap is $10 a bottle, but I might be giving in today and buying some because I literally feel like with each cough I'm just going to die. And it makes my head hurt every time I do cough. It sucks because its just a hard, dry cough.. no phlegm or anything comes up.. its just a damn cough that won't go away. Its ruining my life.
I know I shouldn't be complaining because I have soo much to be thankful for.. and if a cough is the biggest complaint that I have to deal with then I should shut up. But its seriously feel like one event after the other; headaches, canker sores, chronic cough... when will my health go back to normal??? I don't feel like myself... I'm not able to interact with my son like I usually can because I'm always coughing.. I also try to stay away because he swings his arms and many times he's swung and hit me in the face right where my canker sores are.. hurt like hell. I know only good can come from bad, but shit, when is my good going to start coming??
