I was so proud of myself yesterday. I dragged myself to yoga. I used to be so good at it, I was definitely the worse in the class but I am determined to go. I am going again this morning. I also did some chores around the house AND took my dogs for a long walk. It was really a good day.
Today I have yoga and I go back to accupuncture. I will let you know how that goes. I think it may be helping. I got the flu last week I think but my inflammation is really down. It may also be my diet. I have been eating super healthy. Healthier than I ever ate. Fish and salad everyday and tons of foods recommended for ra. I want to keep my job. It is motivating me. The only problem is, I still have to rest often and the brain fog is the worst it has ever been. Maybe I am just getting senile.
I have only been taking one or two darvocet a day. That is really good for me. Now I lost the bottle. Can you believe that? I have looked everywhere. I hope I didn't lose it for good because no way can I get an early refill. I am really feeling spacey lately. More than anything else. Is that RA or should I be thinking possible fibro. I have never felt this spaced out and tired.
Anyway, all and all, everything is great. I am grateful I have this time off. I am totally focused on my health. I will let you know how accupuncture goes today. Some of those needles hurt but most you don't feel. If it works, I would stand on my head and let them put needles in my ears Roxy, glad that you had a good day as you deserve it.
Hope that you find that pill bottle.
MarisaAll positive vibes, Roxy. When I lose something, I try to visualize where I last had it - go through the motions - and it's usually where I mentally put it down. I almost never really lose anything, but I often have to think it through. Makes you crazy, doesn't it? You KNOW it's there.
Keep up the good work, Roxy!!
I am trying to do all the right things. Totally focused on healing. I feel like I wasted the last year not being able to deal with my pain and grief so making up for lost time. I am getting frustrated. I have started exercising regularly but it is so wierd. I am used to when I used to exercise, it would energize me, it absolutely exhausts me. I went to yoga again today and will continue. I am going to try to add more exercise each week but it is WORK. I hate this fatigue. I know we have talked about it and talked about it but any new ideas. I am so sicked of being tired. Sleeping pills sometimes seem like they help, sometimes it seems like it makes matters worse. I have bruises all over my body from accupuncture. I went to the tanning bed yesterday I was so disgusted with all my bruises. Anyone on provigal? I think I am going to ask my rd about it. I NEED SPEED - LOL - don't worry, I would never take that lol. I just would do anything if it gave me my energy back. I am eating so many vegetables, fruits and vitamins - no change. OK There - vent, vent, vent. I miss my hubby. I wonder if sex would help
PS I lost a prescription of Darvocet that was from when I ran out of my mail order. When my mail order came, I quit taking that prescription and put it somewhere. I can't even find it. Spent hours looking. GRRRRRRR My doctor would be so mad.
Hi Roxy: Glad you're out and exercising. I walk, water exercise, do some weights and yes I'm exhausted. I think when you have RA that exercise doesn't energize you the way it would in the "real world" and that irritates me to no end.......I was in tears most of the morning because of the brain fog and exhaustion
I can't imagine not having my other half by my side. I'd be lost
