I’m now down to 6 days before I
leave for my externship and I have yet to start on the list of things to do. I
woke up this morning with a death train like cold and haven't been able to shake
it which has made my productivity level for today really hit the crapper. I was thinking as I begin my zombie like hour
commute to school this morning that this entire school adventure has been one
fraught with sickness. For the last 4 or 5 years I've been dealing with a
chronic pain disorder commonly known as fibromyalgia. Unfortunatly its one of
those disorders that you “don’t look sick” when you have it. It presents with
chronic pain ,muscle spasms and other flu like symptoms. There is no cure for
it and the recomenned treatments include regular chiropractic care,a plethora
of prescription anti inflammatory s and regular medical treatment. None of these things are very accessible for a
full time college student on a 25 hour a week fast food salary. Not to mention
that in the competitive world of
culinary school there’s no such thing as a sick day. So I’ve fought
migraines and other assorted fibro related nonsense for a year now and sometimes I just get really tired and
need a break. So hopefully after my externship things will calm down and I will
get a break.
