My husband asks me all the time: why are you broken? He asks because I seem always to be suffering from some strange ache, pain, illness, infection, you name it. My primary, ongoing complaints are my ulcerative colitis and my sinus issues. If you're not sure what ulcerative colitis is, go to Wikipedia and check it out. The severity of the disease varies and I am told that mine is relatively mild, though it sure doesn't feel like that sometimes! I take an oral medication called Asacol, 3 pills, 3 times a day (that's 9 pills a day) to control my symptoms. Sometimes, when things get out of control, I have to take medication via enema. As far as my sinuses, they just seem to be defective. I'm always sniffling, sneezing, stuffed up on one side, running on the other side, blowing my nose, etc. At night, I'm told I breath loudly and sometimes snore, which becomes problematic for my poor husband, who is sensitive to this type of noise when he's trying to sleep.
Other complaints include random spells of lightheadedness that don't seem connected to anything (example: I was walking down the street and suddenly felt like I was being pushed down and was going to fall over), occasional joint pain and foot cramps, a random squeezing feeling in the left side of my chest, lower back pain...I think that's about it. Right now, I've got a sore upper left arm from a pneumonia vaccine I received almost a week ago.
Are you starting to see why I might be broken?
