I received my flu shot today. My arm is a little sore and I feel pretty sick. I think I'll be ok though. I seen my family doctor about MS pain an he prescribed a muscle relaxant for me that should help with the pain. I don't know if I want to take it. It seems pretty heavy duty and I don't really think I'm in that much pain. I can tough it out. The drug he prescribed is Norflex 100mg for 5 days. I'm a little weary of it. I don't like drugs. Especially these type...

If my pain gets bad again I will try it. But I noticed it only gets that bad when I'm super stressed. I've been a little down lately but not too stressed. I think it's just life getting at me. There is a lot going on now that I'd rather not have to face. But c'est la vie.

A lot of my pain today is probably from not on ly the flu shot but I didn't sleep so well last night. I woke up at 4 am and couldn't get back to sleep. Always fun that is. I will sleep tonight but my school work is suffering, badly. :(
