I'm going through a rough patch, but I'm okay. Thank you for asking. I think its the medications. They keep playing with them trying to find the right mix. Then my body...my brain, actually, learns a way around them and back to the pain. I need to get used to this because it will happen over and over and over. The doctor said "it is the nature of the illness". Together we are learning how to control the pain without making me anxious or depressed. Fun fun. No, it's not menopause. We ruled that out already. :)
Right now it is hard to be around people that know me. I can't be who they used to know or live up to those expectations. I need to isolate myself until I know who I am... lol Crap, it takes all my energy just to get through the days sometimes.
As I said in my blog, its a transition. Just a long one. I am glad I have the blog, I can track what has been happening. My doctor has me tracking my sleep, moods, and pain. Do you know there is an app for that?!!! Yes! So at least it is fun to keep track of all of these ups and downs. Also, the new med adjustment seems to have decreased the pain a lot. Now if I can just escape the flu bug everyone around me seems to have....Fingers crossed.
Hm, all this sounds like a blog entry...maybe I'll copy and paste it...thanks!
Ever wondered what is like living "Up North"? I turned 50 recently, so this now a 50 something woman exploring her numerous (if fleeting) interests while living in a rural area of vast natural resources, but little else. Really, I started doing this as an experiment. It is my first blog. It has turned into much more. This is how I keep my thoughts straight, my angst known, my opinions expressed, and my friends and family up to date on my exciting adventures. Is knitting an adventure?
