MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

I am still having that stabbing sensation behind my browbone. The pressure in my head feels like a constant. One way to try to describe it, I guess, it that my brain feels swollen. I have sinus pressure in my face. My nose, cheekbones & forehead... maybe I'm not over being sick afterall, but I don't feel like this is a cold stirring back up, nor a sinus infection. Could be wrong, but this feels like that pressurized feeling my head gets from time to time. It hurts. I keep catching myself clenching my teeth from tensing up because of the pain. I'm trying to concentrate on relaxing my facial muscles, along with the rest of my body..... difficult though.

My shoulder pain has deminished significantly today, although I can feel it a great deal across my shoulder blades so it may only be a matter of time before it rolls down my arm again. I feel weak & tired, but I did sleep better last night. Once I was finally able to get to sleep, that is. ;)

It is still pretty difficult to walk. Wish I knew where my dang cane is... I misplaced it recently. Hadn't needed to use it since August. I'm hoping I didn't leave it somewhere. It's one of those foldup kind so I can keep it in a bag, but then have it if I need it. Most times I avoid using it because of my stuborn pride. I'm an idiot sometimes. I sure could use it today though.

My neck is still really hurting, and it's spreading into my upper back as well as up the back of my head... great. *rolls eyes*

I'm hungry, but I don't feel like eating. I have no desire to put something into my mouth, yet my stomach is growling. Maybe it's because in my mind, I know I will likely get sick to my stomach after I eat. I will eat... something. I know I have to take care of myself, and I am, but right now, the thought of eating anything is just a bit less than appetizing. :(

I homeschool,.... the stabbing pain in my browbone is making it difficult to even look at the books today. But, I must. Shortly, I think I will have to consider another nap though. *ugh* It feels like there's a tiny little dude in my head and he's using a jackhammer on my eye! *OW!*

Iam sorry that you are having such a bad day. Just when I think Iam pitiful, I find that someone else is in much worse shape.
I do hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, Angel... I do that, too. And pitiful is exactly how I feel. I'm just trying to journal how I'm feeling more now. Before I would rant from time to time when I just finally got so fed up with how I was feeling, but I now I see that I should be keeping track of all this more regularly. It gets too difficult for me to remember things later. I hope you get to feeling better soon... nobody should have to go through this kind of misery. And don't feel like your experiences are ever less than someone else's... your's matter just as much as anyone else. I know others are much worse than I am as well, but that doesn't make me hurt any less. That, and we all have different pain tolerances/interolerances... Thank you for the kind thoughts. I appreciate them very much, and I do hope that you feel better soon also.... and remember, don't undermine your own condition! (((HUGS)))
