brightrosefoxNow I'm just really tired.
I woke up on my back with such severe lumbago that my entire lumbar area felt smashed by hammers. So I cried and screamed and panted all through clenched teeth for a while, did that turtle thing where I rocked back and forth until I was on my side, curled up in a fetal position, inched my way to the bed's edge, and let my body fall until my feet touched the floor. Then I hobbled to the mini fridge, grabbed my creamy cocoa coffee, took it to my dresser for my pain pills, took my pills, then did a ton of stretching.
And that is how Joanna wakes up every morning.
And now that the caffeine has been working alongside the pain pills, I feel better.
Also, if I don't have coffee, I have superfruit energy juice or caffeinated drinks at all times. Often I use a food grade oil serum to mask the bitter tastes of the pills, which my cat Rose then asks for after I'm done. I pour a few extra drops in my palm and let her lap it up. It makes her fur smooth and glossy and her eyes shiny.
In conclusion, chronic pain is a terrible horrible no good very bad thing, but at least I can manage it well enough. I would like to thank pharmaceutical companies, supplement companies, holistic remedies, nutritional food medicine, and exercise ideas.
