Under Pressure

[snogged]

I 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.

I've never tried Naproxen.

As for allergies, I intend to take a Benadryl, but I've been putting it off because Benadryl tends to knock me out.

I'd try it, it's OTC too...Aleve maybe the brand name.

Yeah, Benadryl does that, and doesn't work as well on seasonal allergies. I'd try Zyrtec, Claritin, or Allegra they're more for seasonal allergies and won't cause drowsiness.

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

I snagged one of Nick's Allegra this morning. It seemed to make a huge difference.

That's great. I know everyone knows and is ready for summer allergies but very few people realize there are fall allergies too.
