Day to Day - Flares Return
The last week or so I've been feeling really crappy again, after a month of feeling really good. It got me thinking and I realized that I felt pretty decent last September, too, so I went back through my old posts both here and on my Fibro blog and found that I was right and that the flares started coming about mid October last year (a little later than this year but not off by much). I've been thinking I need to keep a better log of how I'm feeling each day and what I'm up to so that I can easily go back and compare, so that's what I'm attempting to do.
For about the last two weeks I've been feeling more like crap than not. Last Monday I did ok, I had lunch with Brandy (yay) and then came home to wait for the carpet guys to come and pick up the giant fans and humidifier that they'd left over the weekend to dry the carpets.
Tuesday and Wednesday I felt like crap and didn't even do my Tai Chi. Tuesday I'd planned to help a friend out with some business stuff in Florence but I woke up in so much pain that it actually hurt to breath. I called the chiro before I even got out of bed to see if I could come in. I went but it didn't help much. So, I ended up cancelling plans and staying home both Tuesday and Thursday and just resting.
Thursday I'd planned to help out with The Painted Bra project by picking up bras at Starbucks in the afternoon. Luckily, I woke up feeling better and I was able to do that. I was actually feeling pretty good after that and managed to spend a couple of hours painting before visiting a friend at the hospital and then stopping by Bumpers to see Paul and meet his team.
Paul had a 4 day weekend starting Friday. So Friday we got out a little and did some shopping but neither of us was really feeling great so we ended up home pretty early and didn't do much. Saturday I didn't do anything at all. Sunday I was feeling a little better so we got out and did some shopping and got lunch. I got out less because I was feeling better and more because I knew mentally I needed to get out to fight off the possible impending depression. Monday I was actually feeling better, so we decided to drive out towards Albertville and hit up a couple of wineries out there. We wanted to go to Tigers for Tomorrow but they were closed. Between that and Catfish Cabin sucking it was kind of a disappointing trip.
Tuesday I had lunch with my friend Carol. I wasn't feeling 100% but I was ok. I managed to do some more painting Tuesday night. Wednesday (yesterday) I was just dead.
Today I'm not much better.
I woke up with a tension headache. I'm trying to convince myself to do Tai Chi, as it often does make me feel a little better. I'm trying not to let feeling crappy again get me down. I'm thinking I should go to the chiro today but it's crappy outside and I feel crappy and ...well... we'll see.
