Many... Health Problems

Where do I start? Goodness gracious.

Well, just a couple days ago, I got a weird sort of virus that didn't even last a full day. Aches, stomachache, fever, and all. Then it was gone, but now my eyes are very sensitive to light. The top of them will hurt and the crown of my head hurts, same with the nape of my neck.

And remember the rotator cuff strain that was in my right shoulder? Yeah, it's worse. I guess that's kind of my fault, though, since I haven't done the exercises in a few days. Hurts to lift it now, move it around, or lift anything over five pounds. Now my left shoulder hurts a little like my right one does, but not as bad.

I'm also trying to lose weight. I won't say how much I weigh, but let's just say I need to lose about thirty pounds.

And I have a really bad tooth. It had a small crater in it when I was about 11 (I've got bad enamel. Not 'cause I don't brush my teeth, it's because I had a bad, bad fever when my permanent teeth were still forming.), the dentists capped it, and just yesterday when I was eating, it chipped off and I can tell that the crater has gotten bigger. I know for a fact that it's going to have to be pulled and replaced with a denture tooth because even if they cap it again, the tooth is just going to rot away an the cap will fall off again. Luckily, it's just one of the second bicuspids and the crater is in the back, so it's not noticable.

Ever since the little virus thing, my lower back has been a bit sore if I bend any which way, even if I stand or sit up straight.

Sorry if this seemed like a "poor me, feel sorry for me!" sort of thread. I'm just really frustrated with all these problems, and I feel like I need some prayer.

Praying. If you can, go to the doctor about that virus, though- it sounds like even though the big symptoms may be gone, the virus isn't out of your system. Some illnesses like to mess around like that with people.

That's what I was wondering.

Also, my mom thinks that it may be a withdrawel problem from an allergy med I've been taking for a few months. I stopped taking it a little over a week ago since it was empty and the bottle said "no refill". Then again, wouldn't the "virus/withdrawel problem" have started sooner?

Ouch man that's rough

Don't worry about sounding like "pity me," you dont sound that way to me. Take care of yourself and keep your chin up. We all care

The body can take a little while to process that you're not getting the medicine and go into withdrawal after a day or so, but it's worth talking to a doctor about anyway, even if it does end up being withdrawal. I'm also thinking that the big symptoms would have lasted longer, but I'm not a medical professional.

I'll be praying for you. I know how it feels to be frustrated with random health problems, you certainly aren't alone there.

Went to the doctor today for my shoulder. He says that since I've lost strength in my shoulder, I'll be taking formal physical therapy lessons. He also said that I can just do the normal exercises for my left shoulder.

I'm not getting the headaches or eyeaches anymore~ I have no idea what it was. Probably just the last stage of the virus.

My back is better~

Had the bad area of my tooth capped again today. THe dentist that it should hold up longer than then last time as long as I don't chomp onto anything hard. (I.e. a jawbreaker.)

And as for the weight issue, I'm gonna be taking gym every two days in highschool and there'll be no time to snack on junk food. Therefore, I'm probably gonna lose some weight. :P

Thanks for all the prayers, guys!
