Do I dare think the light at the end of the tunnel is getting a wee bit brighter? I really don’t for fear of jinxing myself. I took the second small green capsule yesterday. Still over the past three days I have found that my energy level has been more even and lasted longer over the course of a day. Not anywhere near where it once was but still better than it has been the past six months or so. Today and tonight in particular has been pleasant. I actually had energy after work. Granted, I went to work late because I visited the boys at school today (parent visitation day…makes it sound like prison). But last fall when I went for the visit and then went to work late I was still exhausted by the time I got home. Today I had energy and didn’t hurt.
I made dinner, cleaned up a bit in the laundry room (which I avoid still because I miss Brigs-he spent much of his time in that room), and switched the fall/winter clothes with the spring/summer clothes in the attic. I don’t do each season separately…don’t have the patience for that. I did not change the light bulb in the bathroom because I didn’t feel like doing the balancing act in the dark. I just kept the door open while I took my shower. And now I sit, not crying in pain, but only feeling a dull roar in the standard spots (neck, shoulders, ribs, hips, right knee, left ankle, both feet, and a little bit in the hands).
This is a good thing. But still I won’t get my hopes up too much. Could just be the lovely spring weather.
That’s great! I can’t believe you did all that dancing in MAME with this going on. I have chronic pain due to endometriosis, so I stand in awe that you were able to do that. I’m glad the medicine is working and hope things get even better as it kicks in.
I couldn’t believe I pulled off Mame! It hurt, I’ll tell you that but the motivation was there. It’s not there to clean or vacuum when I hurt! It’s definitely better, but it caught up to me again today. Must pace myself till it fully kicks in.
