Charlie horse, hot flash, what next?!

OWWW!

Someone told me that being on cholesterol medication, can cause leg cramping. Charlie horses are the worst! This is even worse than one! I've learned the hard way, the trick to relieving a charlie horse. You just have to stand up real fast and put your foot flat on the floor. It'll hurt, but the muscle will eventually relax itself. Vitamin CO Q-10, is an enzyme that is supposed to help alleviate this problem. I don't get many cramps in my legs, but the rest of my body feels achy. I'm just overly stressed at work I think.

Thank god for Tuesday. I will be so happy to see it's bright shining face of hope at the end of the tunnel! After I go home last night I started thinking about work. I felt really bad about how I acted like a nasty irritated bitch, and was all ready to go in and apologize to the person today. Welp, didn't happen. As soon as I got in, I talked to my Senior tech on staff to see what his opinion was. I felt like I really needed to talk to him, so that he was aware of the situation. His immediate reaction was to go talk to the other supervisor about it, but I stopped him. I don't want it to get that far. The fact of the matter is, I have to work with this person and going off and making a big deal is not going to help. The only thing that will help, is my ability and skills to deal constructively with this situation. I need to learn this, so I can be a better person in the work force. He of course suggested nipping it in the bud, and just telling the other person. That to some degree it might be mean, but I don't have to deliver it that way. I'm going to give it a few more rotations through. If the problem persists, after I've spoken my peace about the issue---I'll press it further. Until then, I'm hoping they got a clue and will back off.

Just sucks because I've had to change my whole working pattern around. I enjoy being around the other staff and helping them do things around the department. Or just hanging out and talking about whatever. I feel like Bin Laden in dirty old cave with Mars candy bars. It's ridiculous. My mental charlie horse I'll have to put to rest lol.

I started taking the Niaspan on Friday and I didn't have any trouble with it. Last night, well actually early this morning I should say---I woke up ON FIRE. Like somebody call 911, shorty fire burning in her bedroom, ohhh ohhhh! BAD. On the little information packet they give you, it said to take an Advil or aspirin about 30 minutes before you take the pill. It will help decrease hot flashes. I forgot to take the Advil before hand and took it together. HOLY MAN. If this is what it feels like to be in menopause, I hope I have my period forever. I thought a hot flash was just that. A flash of like sweating and hottness all over. I didn't know it  would HURT! I felt like I had the WORST sunburn of my life. Like my insides were cooking and making their way up to the surface. My skin was PAINFUL and I wanted to run outside in the cold to make it stop. I laid there and contemplated just taking my blanket and pillow outside and sleeping so at least I wouldn't be on fire and in pain. I got up to go tinkle, and shortly after it went away. Weirdest thing ever. I REALLY hope I don't get one tonight! 

I'm a little scared to go to sleep now. Yowza!
