Can't run from this pain

    This morning i woke up and well i didn't feel in the best of moods, i am missing training like crazy and starting to get very agitated so i decided to stick my running gear on and go out for a jog, i haven't been training at all until this in the past two weeks and being a full time athlete i am finding this time tough as also trying to get rid of the stress is hard. So i got my running gear on and ran out the door for a 8km run, i ran and as i got a bit into it i started to get a sore stomach which most likely is due to the pain killers antibiotics i am on and the fact i can't eat properly because of my teeth also the cold air wasn't good on them. Other than that and feeling weak though it made me so happy and felt like the best thing in the world being able to run again , i will continue to go out for runs not fast and hard but jogs to keep up my fitness and keep my stress levels down. Now time to go relax.

    Today i had work , i went to work from 8am to 4pm i didn't feel very well but i needed to go so i can afford to pay rent, i have taken sunday off work as we get monday off as its a public holiday so that gives me a week to rest up and try sort some of these teeth issues etc. Got through the day though, had to take some pain killers well at work as i felt the pain coming back, i had a very sore stomach at work. Glad works finished and now its time to rest. Also thanks again for the support i am getting through this hard time from friends and people appreciate it a lot.

    I am cutting down on pain killers now and have been the past few days i am not taking them unless i urgently need to anymore i really need to start getting my health back on track, i am still not eating very well due to teeth, still on the antibiotics to they run out, Today's a rest day then i am off to work tomorrow to complete an 8hr shift hopefully it will go better than work the other day its not easy working like this, but after Thursday i have a week off work to try pull myself together over the last 2 weeks no dental work has been done other than consultations and i have been given prescriptions for antibiotics etc, this is due to the fact i didn't have the $1200 up front to start the 3 root canals. During this time i have not been able to train at all, haven't been able to eat properly only such things like baby food, and soft bread as well as drink up and go's. A week of it i had off work due to the pain and swelling been so bad i wouldn't of been able to work. When the pain has been that bad its really pushed my limits but i have just cried my way through it. I can't handle the break down's though the thoughts that go through your head are horrible. I got myself back to work as of Sunday as i have no sick leave so couldn't afford to have more time off work. I have been in and out of dentists been to the hospital and the doctor, no one can help me anymore, the only way it can be fixed is getting the route canals done and then it will fix everything. Its so hard knowing this all could of been fixed and prevented at the start of the two weeks if id had the money to get it done. Although this is scary and its hurting me a lot and affecting my health, training and work and everything i am trying to bring out the good in it. Although there's not much its going to teach me to appreciate life so much more the times that i am happy and healthy again if i ever get this sorted. Its just another challenge that life has given me and i will Never Ever Give Up , ill get through it. I still feel really bad because i know there is people out there going through so much worse and they need help more than me. I don't like having to ask for help unless i really need it and i guess this is the hardest point in my life its my first time experiencing physical pain and i am trying to deal with it as best as i can but i actually can't get through this on my own. Trying to get through this being stronger. I appreciate everyone's help so much and hope someday i can help you in return . I just feel like i am loosing everything the little things i even did have that kept me going like training .

    I have been cutting down on pain killers , due to the fact i have been on them every 4 hours for nearly two weeks now, its affecting my stomach and my head and its making me not feel good, even with the pain killers i am also in so much pain. So i am trying to cut down and if in need ill take them more regular. Swelling has gone down completely since being on the antibiotics for the past 4 or so days so i am lucky a few more days to go on the antibiotics only problem is once they stop i can't get anymore from any where the doctors etc have said no i have been on them to long, the only way to fix this is get these route canals done. I am trying to stay strong and positive in the hope ill manage to sort this out in time with the help from others also i appreciate the help from people so much and hope that i can help you back in some way at some stage :)

    I miss training like crazy feels like i have already had a life time off without training i feel lost as like whenever i have had to deal with stress at least training has been there now this is the worst and i can't train all those hard hours of training all going down the drain as i watch this teeth situation get worse and not be able to do anything about it because of the only thing getting in the way is money without it i am screwed. I guess this is the biggest challenge i have had to face, I wont give up but far out this sucks I have been active and healthy since i was toddler never had any health issues this bad so its hitting me pretty hard. Its making me stronger but its also pushing me down so much but ill keep getting back up. The day i become healthy again and can train again i am going to appreciate it more than the world although i always did. Once again though i wouldn't change this for the world every bad thing that has happened in my life has taught me something made me stronger, brought me where i am today, made me appreciate life so much more and made me be able to see beyond myself in the world. No matter how bad things get i will keep moving forward keep standing back up when i fall down , ill continue to love care and help others as much as i can no matter what situation i am in. Everything happens for a reason. Once these teeth problem is fixed, things will start to get better, Ill be able to appreciate what its like to be healthy again, be able to continue reaching out making a difference in peoples lives and be able to train again!

    So latest update, i have tried dentist doctors hospital every option i can go down i have been on pain killers and antibiotics for over the past week. its getting to the stage they can't give me anymore antibiotics for my swelling of the face because of the teeth, which then means when i run out of the antibiotics in 3-4 days time the swelling is going to come right back so i will be in the same situation that i was in the other day where the pain was unbearable only problem is i can't get antibiotics and without them my face is going to swell up so bad again all this can be prevented if i get the first process of the route canals done atleast to start with and that is $1200 for the 3 teeth the first process. I am starting to get worried and scared i am trying to handle this situation as best as i can but its so damn hard i am lost for what to do. I went to the doctors today to be told the only way to get rid of this pain and the sickness its starting to cause and all the problems with it is to get it done! But you need the money to get the root canals done i am running out of options. Well i don't like having to ask for help unless i really need it, and this is probably is the hardest situation i have been in and had to ask for it. This is really throwing me around and it's scary. I know ill get through this like i am forcing myself to be strong enough, but i can't get through it alone. I don't have the money and its the barrier stopping me from getting fixed. Id appreciate your help a tonne, and i am willing to reach out and help people as i normally do. Its having major affect on me , Can't train, Eat properly, Sleep properly , Work properly etc.

    This morning i got up at 7am to go to work. I had been worrying about this day, Last week when the pain and this really started i had taken time off work. But due to having no sick leave i couldn't afford to continue on doing this as i need to be able to pay my rent and for pain killers to try get me through this. I got up and headed to work for what was an 8 hour shift unsure if id get through it and worried that i may have a massive break down of pain which would mean id have to go home . I went to work i started working, i found myself facing some challenges. I have a feeling i have been taking pain killers for too long now and its starting to mess with me because i am mixing up words without meaning to and i am having a sore stomach and its starting to mess with my head and i am doing things that i wouldn't normally do. i found myself handing a customer back over a voucher which id clearly put through the machine and needed to then be put in the draw. I found myself getting quite shaky even at one point and just feeling like i wasn't going to get through it and would this be the end of work for me am i not capable of even working through this. I had to hold back tears after i stuffed up . This is really throwing me around also being on my feet for that long with out eating properly due to this problem with teeth and also not being able to think 100 % straight wasn't helping . But i managed to get through the shift. i found even on my break walking up the stairs hurt me and was hard. I am starting to worry about my health in general the amount these tooth problems are causing me are affecting me in every way. I am trying to stay strong i have a never give up attitude i will get there, this is just another barrier in life that's hard to deal with but ill push through and get to the other side and i will be stronger. If i had the money i would of got it sorted straight away. I don't like having to ask people for help but its times like these i really need it.
