I'm hoping my fibro flare is finally dissipating. Yesterday the abdominal pain was worse than the fibro, and lately that hasn't been the case. I had pelvic PT on Wednesday so the pain from that was expected to flare. Today I got about 14 hours of sleep, which in the past
My pelvic PT has been going really well! I was told that it would take at least six months. I started in November, so it's been...almost three months. She does work internally and externally. The best way to describe it is: you know the knots you get in your muscles from like fibro? I have those in my abdomen. Then my laparotomy scar needs a lot of help. Apparently it didn't heal very well. I also have adhesions, which is understandable considering all the surgeries I've had and stuff. Sometimes I have to make sure my pelvis is not tensing up, but I'm able to catch when I do and that's helping.
I started PT for my jaw last week. On my right side, it was locking and making noises. My fibro is definitely contributing to it. As is my abdominal pain. I am not amused. I had my first jaw PT appt on Tuesday of last week. The exercises I was told to do flared my endo that I could barely move. I have another appt tmrw and hopefully we can find a balance between the needed exercises and not pissing off my fibro.
In other news, I have fully devoted myself to being a domestic goddess. I won't go into much detail here, because I think it will be a BYDLS article.
Alex is doing great. She's been taking great care of me, sleeping on me while I rest on the couch watching Star Trek DS9.
Tabrez comes back Tuesday night and I am really excited!! Sure I've been occupying myself with a lot of reading and Netflix, but I miss cuddling with him and talking to him and just knowing he's around.
That's about it for now, just wanted to check in!
Fibro flares suck! I just got over one myself. Does the transvaginal ultrasound ever hurt you? Last week mine hurt and made me bleed.
