Come on in and whine!

[autumnpalm]

Sorry for the whiny post but I don't want to irritate everyone IRL with constant complaining so I have to let this out somewhere. I figured maybe some others would like to join in and complain about little stuff going on too?

As some of you might remember, since January I've been diagnosed with mono and then started having daily, constant headaches around February... and today I just got diagnosed with bronchitis! I have an inhaler and have to go back in a week to make sure it doesn't turn into a bacterial infection and then I have an appointment Monday morning with a TMJ specialist for my jaw. Yikes!

My grades are suffering quite a bit this term because of it and I'm hoping my overall GPA won't get dragged down too badly. Life is just so busy and I wish I could go to sleep for a week straight.

I know compared to things other people are facing, my issues are small but... I'm just so darn sick of being sick!

Anyone else have anything they'd like to whine about? Let's have a pity party!

I'm doing fine, but I brought some

Why get fancy?

I'll take you up on that offer to whine.

My neck hurts, my shoulder hurts, my jaw hurts, my ear hurts (sometimes), my other shoulder has started to hurt... myofascial pain syndrome. Only 4 months now (I've read some folks online who've had it for 13 years!), but it's really annoying. Physical Therapy is doing nothing, except maybe making it worse. So, I'm thinking I'm going to have to try the trigger point injections. Bleh.

I sometimes whine to friends or family IRL, but I can tell they don't really want to hear about it. Honestly, I feel bad complaining, because there are so many people so much worse off than me. But, dang it, it hurts!!

I want it to go away. I want a job that doesn't make me sit on my butt for 8 hours a day (which can cause this). I'm trying to improve my posture to help with this, but it's difficult to reverse decades of doing things the wrong way. I want less stress in my life (which can, and probably did, cause this), but good luck with that.

BAH!! I just want to whine! And I'll take some Chedderella to knaw on with it.

ok, chiming in, lol. i have a raging case of carpal tunnel, and my chiropractor doesn't seem to be helping. this is my last resort. if chiropractic doesn't work, i'll need surgery. i can't work, i can't sleep...just brushing my daughter's hair is torture.

I want to join in too but I think the post might me too long. I am very unhappy with 2 people at work. So upset that I think I am making myself depressed. One person is new this year. I had felt we got along really well and he flat out stabbed in the back at a meeting with our boss. The thing is we don't even have the same position so he has nothing to gain. I am so hurt because I just didn't see it coming from him.. It was actually early in Feb and it has bothered me to the point of tears. He knew I felt a certain way about a situation and went into a meeting and said exactly what I did not want to happen was what would be happening. He could have at least talked to me before the meeting. I was blown away!! The thought of now always having to watch my back and the hurt is just weighing me down. I coud have taken it from other people but I just didn't expect it from him. The other situation is a staff who has such unrealistic expecations of me. Granted she is pushy and aggressive and most eveyone knows it. This situation is the worst I think even though the other one hurts at a personal level. I can not do what she wants. I finally told my boyfriend the other night they I may have to quit. I know I need to make at least the same amount of money as I am making now and not sure how I am going to do that. I just bought a house in the same town I work. I love most everything else about my job but I didn't go to college to pay the bills and be miserable. I am just so unhappy. The one thing in my favor is I have been around longer then both of them and am very well respected. Regardless I just can't go on like this. I feel so depressed.

I underdstand no one may understand my post but it feels good to get it off my chest. thanks

Oh, I love to whine
and usually no one wants to listen!

Here is my rant:
January, flood IN the house (pipe broke), second floor, leaked through two floors and into the furnace (cha ching!)

DS wrecked the truck, having his license a whole two months....

February: my van died. right on the interstate, hauling the family to an away swim meet

March: snow weight caused leak in the one room that didn't have water damage from the flood


off to a great start this year

at least my health is good
I do feel for those of you who are ailing or in pain!

 

[C.Ann]

Nothing to whine about here, but wanted to wish you well.. I hope your health gets back to normal real soon..

Definitely not fun being sick..

 

[autumnpalm]

Ooooh, Cheez Wiz! Anyone want to bring some Nutella?

Sending to all of you going through stuff, big or small. It does help sometimes just to let it out! Hopefully this spring will be a good one!

 

[ohiomom28]

Ok, I'll take my turn....

My right ankle hurts when I stretch or walk, I stubbed my 2nd toe on the ceramic tile, I woke up one day last week with Carpal Tunnel in my left wrist, my right isn't far behind and until recently, I have had a headache since November.

On a positive note, my new migraine meds are working very well.

OK first . (Not to OP, but to the cheese.) This reminds me, last year we were invited to a Wine and Cheese party. We are not fancy people and DH is a bit of a comedian so he brought a bottle of Boons Farm and a can of cheese. Yes, everyone laughed (his goal) but it was the first wine and cheese to go!

OK, as for the mono. DD15 had it 3 years ago. She had a very severe case and missed a lot of school, we were afraid they wern't going to pass her. It took her almost a year to feel like herself and still wears out quickly. PLESE, give yourself time to fully reover. I know it is hard but in the end it will be so worth it.

OK, my whine for the day. I am trying to decide if what I think I need to do is what I want to do and if so how do I do it. A friend of mine is not a good friend to me. We were friends though our kids but her DD is not going in a direction I want my DD10 to folow in and thankfully my DD has seen it and has distanced herself from her daughter on her own. The mom, my friend is one that does things like says things I do are stupid, sort of passive agressively puts me down, and generally seems to make herself feel better about herself by knocking me down. I dread when she calls anymore and while this was always an issue, it has gotten to be more common and I feel like I just don't want to waste any of my life feeling bad about myself. It's a hard thing to do though. I think it will take some time.

Hope everyone is feeling healthy and strong tomorrow. Take care. Sometimes we just need to vent to our stranger friends.

okay here's my whine,

I really want a second baby, but it took me 14 yrs to my first and I so don't have another 14 yrs!!!!!

I had to drop my computer class today becasue I was failing it and I figure a w/d will be better than a fail.

I am tottaly lost by the new season of Lost.

My DH has never put my DS to sleep, well maybe once or twice, but com'on, my DS is 17 months old!

ummm, I could keep going but I don't want my carpal tunnel to flare up, LOL!!!

 

[MickeyMomOfThree]

BTH, my DH had carpal tunnel surgery and it worked great! Don't be afraid of it. He did it on his lunch hour and went back to work and no one even knew till he walked in with his bandage.

my whine of the day... which btw i'm extremely good at doing this...

had to go to the dentist yesterday for a cavity filling, and it was below the gum line so they had to take away a huge chunk of it to fill in the whole thing.So now it looks really funny. At least it's on the bottom row and can't be seen.

My jaw is sore as can be, and chewing is a pain. Yesterday I had dinner while my mouth was still numb on one side, but I had to keep wiping my face off to make sure I wasn't cover in food. And a few times, food would collect in my cheek and I couldn't even feel it was there.
Tonight, I decided to get a pizza on the way home, and it probably wasn't the smartest choice. On top of that, I dug in way too soon, and so I burnt the roof of my mouth.

Other than that... every thing in my life seems to be going just as bad.

 

[AKL_Megs]

We spent a lot at the store today. I brought what I could.

I want to whine a little, too.

I have had this cut in my nose for I can't even remember how long. It just won't heal.

I've tried Neosporin. Didn't work.

I've tried Vaseline. Didn't work.

I even read online to try K-Y Jelly. Still isn't working. All it has done is cause me embarassment. I keep a 1oz tube in my purse, and it keeps falling out at the most inopportune times.

Also, I don't want to have to go to work tomorrow.

I'm sorry, but I laughed out loud at this. I can so imagine it happening to me.

A thread where we whine? AWESOME!!!

OK, I have had a respiratory infection for 9 days now. Already did a Z-pack, didn't help. Went to the Dr. yesterday and she prescribed another round of antibiotics but I was too tired to go fill the prescription so it is sitting in my purse.

Last night I griped at DH because he was off all day and didn't do ANYTHING other than stuff he wanted to do. He apparently didn't WANT to vacuum, or scrub the tub, or any of that fun stuff that I always get to do on MY days off.

This morning at 6 AM DH decided to absolutely douse the entire tub in bleach, because last night I said he never cleans. Hello? RESPIRATORY INFECTION! The last thing I needed was BLEACH FUMES engulfing the bedroom.

I ended up getting out of bed and stomping around feeling sorry for myself. Eventually I tried to nap on the couch. The cat climbed up there with me, and he REEKED of bleach. DH left the bathroom door open and the cat had been in the tub. So we had to rinse the cat off in the kitchen sink. Yes, it was as fun as it sounds.

We are waiting to hear if DS14 has been accepted to a wonderful magnet school or if he will be condemned to 4 years of Thugs and Drugs at the "regular" high school. The wait is absolute torture.

OK. I think I am good now. Thanks!

Sounds JUST like something my DH would do as an "I'll Show You".

Hope you are feeling better real soon!

Yeah, DH and I are not getting along all that well this weekend.

still hurting. 3 visits with the chiropractor this past week, and no noticeable improvement-each one costs me a $35.00 co-pay, and that's if i'm lucky-if it falls under major medical, i'll get to pay the first $500, THEN a $35.00 co-pay each time. i'm slathered in activ-on from my shoulders to my wrists, so i REEK of menthol and my skin is on fire. i've only been able to work part of one day this week, so i made a whopping $11.23. DH's work hours have been cut from 60 to 40 for this coming week, which is REALLY going to hurt, but i'm grateful he still has a job.
on the upside, i cleaned the bathrooms today, even though i wasn't really able to. they are beautiful and smell really nice. i love the satisfaction of a job well done. i also got 3 new pairs of jeans today that make my butt look really good.

i pray we're all doing better tomorrow
