Whine, whine, whine

So been going to Physical Therapy for over a month, almost a month and a half, and no improvement. My doctor at PT said he thinks he has been pushing me to fast so he has slowed down the PT with me. It could be so, because I really have not had any improvement in my legs and back. So now what, my Neurologist said if I had no improvement with in a month to come back, but that is a joke, I cannot get back into her until Sept. I love her she is so nice and good, but I hate that when the doctor tells you to do something and then you can not do it because you can not get into see her. Good sign she is so busy but gee now what. I know it is not life threatening but one still gets anxious to know what is up when it is like this. I know with me, it is hard to say why, or what it is that causes the pain, I may have to start documenting symptoms again for the doctors like I use to, stopped for a while because I thought it did not matter anymore, wrong thing to do. So bit of advice to anyone with a chronic illness never stop documenting, you never know when you will need it.

Barametric Pressure and Pain

I was told a few years ago from my rheumy that I should be aware of the weather. At the time I wondered, what the heck does the weather have to do with me? Well there were a few times that I figured it out rather quick. Unbelievable pain, then a day or two later major snow storms, or thunderstorms. But I guess I forgot those words of wisdom, as Tues my pain in all my joints, muscles, nerve endings hurt so bad I did not know what to do with myself. I blamed it on the physical therapy I had the day before as the dr had increased the workout as I was doing pretty well. But by the time I got home, I could hardly walk, then the next day I was chair bound. I would get up and use the bathroom, do a dish or two, I crawled down the basement stairs and did a batch of wash, but then back onto the chair. I hurt so bad even my pain pills were not touching it. I hurt even sitting, throbbing like a toothache, everywhere. Then three days later a storm front comes in. I big one. Then I remembered what my rheumy had said, a few days before is when you feel it. Wow another point for Dr. Hermitano. Although I do think it was a combo of the PT and the storm front coming in, It was bad. I hate days like that. It makes me realize I am sick. Other wise I can go along my merry way trying to ignore my legs hurting, or my back, or my feet, or hands, or shoulders etc because it has become a part of me, pain is part of my life. It is ok, as long as I can keep going. I have to accomplish something each day or I am not happy. So push, push, push, but still limit the activity level so I do not use all those dam spoons up. lol. But Tuesday I was disgusted with my body, with my doctors, with everybody. I did not even want to do my crafts, or type. Is it depression on days like this, maybe, is it just the pain, maybe. But what ever it is, I do not like it.
