Ugh.  I feel sooooo bad right now.  Last night, I decided to stay up past my med time to watch a movie.  Took meds, fought the sleepiness, nothing happened (good movie).  About four hours after my med time, trouble began.  I started getting a pain in my neck, causing a headach (which I still have).  I felt my chest get sore as if someone had pelted me with large rocks.  And then, It hit.

Remember the adolescent growing pains, where it felt like your bones and muscles were so sore and uncomfortable you thought you would surely bruise?  And all the otc pain meds weren't working?  And sometimes it hurt so bad, you wanted to cry?  Yeah.... it was like that ALL Over my body.  My legs and joints hurt so much; it was at that point that I struggled to go to sleep to escape the crushing pain.  I slept with a heating pad on my chest just to settle down.  My neck was stiff, and still hurts now.

I remember waking up the last few nights with a mild headache and stiff neck.  But I thought it was because of my unwelcomed bed buddy (my daughter fell asleep).  I had an uncomfortable backache as well- again contributing it to my daughter's tossing and turning.  Nope.  Pain is still here.  Hopefully, a little otc med will help with this. 

Lesson learned; take your med, go to bed.  Stick with the curfew
