Under Pressure

snoggedI know there are a ton of people out there with far worse aches and pains and pressures than me, but they're not writing this blog. I am. That means, I'm going to share my moans and groans because I can and if you want to read them, feel free. I won't feel hurt if you don't though.
I know that it's partly a mental thing. For starters, I know that I have to write a pre-authorization for Medical Assistance tomorrow. I've never done one of those before, but I know they end up being 4-6 pages long so the nerves are definitely present.
Mostly though, it appears to be physical.
*I slept wrong last night and woke up with a painfully sore neck and right shoulder. Ibuprofen has helped a little, stretching has helped a little, but neither has super successful.
*My head is starting to hurt. I think this is because I can't get rid of the pain in my neck....
*My throat feels sore and several times today, it has felt like it was closing up. I suspect it's something allergy related, but since I've never been tested for allergies, it's hard to say for sure.

This is, for me, a bad time for general allergy attacks too...which could be your throat problem, have you tried an OTC allergy med like Zyrtec or Claritin?
Hope you feel better soon.

All my years working in a pharmacy can sometimes still be useful, I had to know all this stuff. ;)

I hope you feel better, sweetie.
