Well, this sucks.

I don't know if any of you remember last January when I was in the hospital for a week because of an infection I had in my intestines, but I had another flare-up on Wednesday night. It started out as a stomach ache, then it moved to stabbing pains in my abdomen, and at about 2am I woke up with chills that were causing me to shake uncontrollably. I was so scared. I've never felt anything like that before. My teeth were chattering so much that my jaw still hurts today. I called my mom and woke her up to come over because I didn't know what to do. All I knew was that I didn't want to go back to the hospital. By the time she got here, the shaking had pretty much stopped. It lasted about 30 minutes, but it felt like 10 hours. Every minute was agony. My abdominal pains were pretty much constant, but then I'd get a severe stabbing pain every once in a while. I didn't sleep at all that night. I was in too much pain. Thursday, I could barely move. I had body aches all over (especially in my neck, which I already have problems with) and a headache, fever, no sleep. I was just exhausted. But I knew I needed to get to a doctor because this wasn't going to get better on it's own. So, we went to an Urgicare and waited for about 90 minutes before we saw the doctor. That also felt like an eternity. I was extremely worried that he would tell me I needed to go to the hospital, but thank goodness he just prescribed me 2 antibiotics and a painkiller (yay Vicodin!) and sent me on my way. Actually, the Vicodin hasn't done much to help me so far. It helped a little with my body aches, but then I get another fever/chill attack and they all come back. My abdominal pain is a little better, as long as I don't walk, stand or move. Heh. So, I'll be spending the majority of the next couple days on the couch. I'm on a liquid diet for the rest of the day. My mom went way overboard at the store. There's enough juice, popsicles, Italian ice and Jell-o here to last me all next week. LOL.

Anyone want a popsicle? :)
