I'm feeling sorry for myself...

I'm feeling really sorry for myself at the moment.

For the last couple of weeks, I've had to wear wrist splints in bed, due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. My wrists, arms, shoulders and the right hand side of my neck are aching and tingling. I've pretty much got a permanent headache, which eases off somewhat while I'm at home... but that's only three days a week at the moment.

(Unfortunately, the splints have given me a nasty allergy type rash on the inside of my wrists, that ITCHES LIKE MAD!!)

Add to that the fact that I've got a flare up of sciatica attacking my back, and I just feel like crying.

God help me, I'm only in week 22.

I've made an appointment to see my doctor on Thursday, and am hoping that she will sign me off for a bit. However, part of me thinks that she will just send me home, and tell me to stop being a baby, and at the same time, I'm worried about work.

Gah, how much of a wimp am I?
