Good Day

Today was a good day. I still had a low grade fever and mild bone pain but overall, didn't get as tired as most other days. I exercised on the elleptical this morning to get my body/blood moving. I think the pain meds helped today.

Anyway, it was good to have a moderate energy level.
Hope you are all well.

Good night.

Chronic Pain is no fun

Hi everyone.

Sorry I have not posted for some time. The doctor and the acupuncturist have been working with me to deal with the chronic bone pain and fatigue/weakness due to chronic severe neutropenia. The bone pain has been significant and so my doctor prescribed a new pain med, which is helping a little bit-so that's good.

I am also doing the following in case anything helps you: exercise, yoga, hot baths, stretching, heating pad, making sure I get enough sleep, breathing exercises, meditation, resting when needed, and vitamins (multi-vitamin, Vitamin D, Tumeric, Fish Oil, and Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc.

I recently cut out Diet Coke. And, I also make sure I eat relatively well. I eat lots of fruits/veggies and I cut out meat about 7 months ago.

Taking one day at a time.
Take care of yourselves well.
