Not Sure

I last had Salazopyrin last Tuesday but still have dizziness today and had real vertigo till Friday morning. I even fell while crawling!!

BUT, my other joints that I started the salazopyrin for are complaining big time! AND I keep having what feels like kidney pain too!🥹🥹Is it the Salazopyrin? Is it the NSAID?? Is it even kidney pain anyway? What if it’s gastritis again? It radiates through my abdomen to my back. With doctor not even present in office I can’t ask what the heck I can do to help myself! I would love to have my blood tests sooner than my August date. My knee feels like it’s broken again. Like right across the patella and joint beneath it, someone chopped my leg with an ax.🥹

I’m struggling. Truly struggling. Yesterday -funeral- was horrendous. Not emotionally, that one I expected. But physically. I had made up my mind to sit at the end of the aisle so I could get up every now and then but as niece(who happens to be much older than me) insisted that she and her husband sit there. The pews are narrow so she had to keep standing up and moving into the aisle when we needed to go sing or make speeches so I don’t want to add to the disruption. Which meant I sat there in extreme pain. My poor pelvic area and lower back were taking it hard.

I don’t know. I really don’t know what to do. I just know that I have been abandoned by my rheumatologist and nurse and I am struggling. When I asked about getting handicapped parking discs and they said I should send the form in three weeks ago, why didn’t they tell me that the very next day they’d be out of office till July??

What I do know, is that I’m going to restart the Salazopyrin slowly again and if the vertigo does again get worse, I’ll know it’s definitely it. I need at least my knee to reduce the other pain burden I’m under.
