I just can't seem to feel good since I've been back from Holland. It's now been 3 weeks.
I saw the chiro again on Friday, and that was good. I still am so tight around my neck, shoulders and upper back though. The pins and needles have been v. minimal, but this morning I woke up and it happened very strongly for a few minutes. Thankfully it stopped again. I went to the pool on Saturday and it was lovely, nice and quiet and I had a WHOLE lane to myself. Heaven! I was going to go again on Sunday but I got quiet ill on Saturday night and was up most of v. early Sunday being sick. I finally got a little sleep, but not nearly as much as I needed, and I was wiped out. Thought I would crash hard on Sunday night but no such luck, just tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for the life of me. And so the viscous cycle of no sleep = pain = no sleep, etc, etc, etc... begins.
Yesterday I thought I would go to the pool but between the exhaustion and back spasms I passed. I did take a long hot bath to help with the back. I also had a little wine and a clonazapam which usually does the trick, but I still didn't sleep all that well, back and forth from one side to the other. It's all v. frustrating. I am praying I can get a good nights rest tonight so I won't be a total wreck for the long weekend. I have a lot of things I am hoping to do.
In the interim of waiting for my appointment at the end of December, I have been reading a bunch of new articles on treatments for FMS and CMP, not sure what I think I'll find, but perhaps I will be lucky and find some sort of magic solution for me. Ok, I know, but a girls got to dream.
I am on the phone waiting to see if I could get in sooner to see him, but no luck. :-(
Happy turkey day!
PS - reading anything and everything may pay off - I found a website for the Tri-State College of Acupuncture (never knew it existed) and from there found what I believe is the same thing as dry needling - APM - Acupuncture Physical Medicine. From that I did a search in NYC and have come across some people who might be doing exactly what I want, or so it sounds from their websites. You have to love the web, well, they probably won't since I've bombarded them all with emails. We shall see if I reap any rewards with this. Fingers crossed!!!
from diagnosis through surgery for FAI, labral tear, psoas release, as well as fibromyalgia and EDS (ehlers danlos / hypermobility syndrome) - and not lets forget the bad hands/wrists! Additional information regarding dealing with a peri-rectal abscess which then turned into a fistula. Currently I'm trying to sort out my neck and upper back as I have been diagnosed with stenosis, and herniated and bulging discs in my cervical spine.
