Whatever
I don't know why I go to the rheumatology appts. I don't ever get anything out of it, or haven't really thus far since being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Maybe I have incorrect expectations about what my time with this man, every 3 months, actually should bring about, but going in to be poked and prodded, my tender points tested yet again and YES they still freaking hurt thanks so much, to just be told "Yep, you have fibro, keep trying the yoga, keep waiting on the pain specialist, check with your primary care on these other things, see you in 3-6 months" is very frustrating. We talked about the fact I'm dealing with the peroneal tendonitis, and he said to watch that because it could be a sign of RA (wait...you ruled RA out???) and the headaches and dizziness/spacial distortion I reported COULD be related to the fact I have the Lupus ANA anticoagulant but he's never heard of it that way (wait...you ruled Lupus out???) and oh a funky rash on your hands and splotches on your face, interesting they are irritated by the sun, but enjoy the nice weather today, be sure to get out in the sun!!!
Feels useless - maybe it's supposed to help someone with a chronic pain condition feel like it's being treated in SOME way, but really...not so much.
So yeah. Supposed to check with primary care on headaches that I've been having often lately, and my issues with my balance being off. Kinda sick of drs. We'll see. Ambien as I need, although I didn't get a refill, I have one pill left. We'll see. Supposed to follow up on ortho and wear the brace - ok that I can do - it DOES make the foot pain go away, while replacing it with a deep bruising feeling where the pressure of the brace touches my skin, but it makes walking easier.
Really wiped out today, feel like my eyes won't open all the way, and hands, shoulders, neck really painful, and yes, headache.
Work was pretty stressful yesteray, so that might be why, it's not weather related because it's gorgeous out.
Finished "Coraline" book. I liked it a lot, but it just ended. Like...boom. All done. I feel abandoned, like there should have been more to it than how it ended. A little disappointing.
Loving "Shop Girl" audio book. SO many great quotes. This one I love - "It's pain that changes our lives". Amen.
