Short update. Just trying to keep track of things and stuff going on.
My eye is continuing to improve! The little round bump under my lid is getting smaller and smaller. I still have like 3 days worth of antibiotics left, hopefully that takes care of it for good. After suddenly getting sick last night I decided to keep an eye on my temp today. Last night it seemed like the longer the night went on then the higher the fever got. Didn’t go above 100.6 degrees as far as I know. Same thing is happening today, my temp was 98.2 this morning when I woke up. It has been slowly climbing all day and is now at 99.7 degrees. I also have a medium bad headache and I threw up once around 3pm. I took a couple of anti nausea meds and that seemed to take care of it. I tried taking some tylenol/ aspirin for the fever but it is not having any kind of effect on it. I wish I could take more pain medication because my whole body hurts again, especially my back but I’ve already had my maximum for the day. Plus it would leave me totally stoned off my ass, which I do not particularly enjoy. Looks like the only thing I can do is try to get some sleep. Oh! I forgot- I also have a rash that broke out all over my back. It’s irritated and itchy. Not sure what the deal is there.
One other thing that is going on is that my tongue is hurting again. Every few months or so, my tongue will turn bright red and becomes crazy painful. Like I stuck my tongue into a pot of boiling water and burned the shit out of it. All the doc’s and me are curious as to what is causing that. That’s why I am mentioning it separately, to see if I can get any kind of pattern figured out. How often it happens, how long it lasts, ect. It sometimes happens when I am on a high dose of pain meds and this is my 2nd day of having them. It has been quite a while since the tongue thing has gotten really really bad…I remember around Christmas a year or 2 ago and my tongue hurt so bad that I couldn’t bear to eat, drink, or talk. Since then it goes through phases of hurting but it is more irritating and uncomfortable rather than straight up painful. I hope it stays that way.
Taking my temp one last time for today’s update. Yup, still at 99.7 degrees. Good deal, maybe it will stay there. Didn’t get a very good night’s sleep last night, I woke up like every hour and wandered around. Hoping that tonight is a little more peaceful.
