Hi all,
Go and read BIGMOUTH if you haven't already. I'm showing off really but I like that entry today more than usual as it's personal to many of my friends and I know you read here. So many of us suffer with chronic pain and it is an issue close to my own heart (not that I have used the drug concerned).
Today is recovery day and I feel OK although my head was crashing this morning; every movement made me feel sick and I still have that thud when I move. I've not been able to add much to my website today because of it and I set myself high targets and it bugs me when I can't do what I set out to do. Tomorrow is another busy but enjoyable one with hydrotherapy with the 'Thursday belles' We love meeting at the pool where we chat about all sorts including our men, our children and our bowels! Farting is actually very comical and can iunduce a lot of laughter when you are feeling rough and if one of use is feeling down another one of the girls will bring that person up. Acupuncture will follow - Ahhhh I can't wait because I need this baaaaaad (Have I turned into a sheep? lol) Then a break followed by a governors meeting and a GP appointment where I need to talk about .....my bowels and gallbladder. That is going to be embarressing. Needs to be done and I cannot put it odd any longer.
Wish me luck.
About Me
- Wiglet
- Wo said life was easy? I have a hulking great pain monster jumping up and down on my back every morning. Once zapped with strong vodka he's a pussycat. In brief, read on further for info, I have a spinal condition which leaves me in severe pain. I am a wife, mother and school governor too. I love my life, detest the pain monster! Medical bit. Check on links for further info. I have Spina Bifida Occulta. It is genetic and I was born with it. I also have Tethered Cord Syndrome, again genetic, again I was born with it. I have had 2 spinal surgeries and now have a mass of nerve damage causing a mass of nerve pain. I possibly have CRPS but no definite diagnosis. Was diagnosed with hypothyroidism late 2006 and IBS in 2007. Also have damage to my bladder and bowel because of the abnormal spinal cord and nerves. The last diagnosis is 'Chronic Pain Syndrome'. That one covers a multitude of sins. The winter months have been hard and I wonder if I am deteriorating again? Kinda scary so my blog becomes my best friend. I take a lot of medication and so have become a hobbling encyclopaedia of knowledge on the subject.
