Hi everyone,
Hope you are all doing well.
I have been feeling good! Still! Yahoo! Knock on wood, right.
I have continued to exercise-and even adding weight bearing stuff. So glad to be swimming again. I missed it. I had stayed away from the gym at the beginning of the year-too many people.
Eating, well, I try to eat well. But, of course, it doesn't always work out that way. I have such a sweet tooth. I must have my chocolate! :)
I have been able to decrease my pain medication. I was taken almost 3 pills every day before and after the holidays. Now, I have been taking 1 pill a day! 1/2 pill 2x per day! How cool is that! I did try to wean off it but the bone pain increased so I thought I would take 1/2 twice a day and see how that goes for while and then try to wean off that.
I haven't seen the acupuncturist since last year :( I really want to go-just need to call and make an appt! It can't hurt-right!! Expensive though. But perhaps there is something to that chi/qi, huh?
I see the doc next week-and I am excited and somewhat anxious-I won't lie-about seeing where my counts are. I know that sometimes I have significant pain and my counts are up-figure my body is working hard? And when the pain is low and I feel great, the counts can be low. Geesh! Last time, I had counts done-right before Christmas-my counts were up for me-0.6-but I was still having significant bone pain and other symptoms. I did tell the doc at that time that I would rather have lower counts and feel better. And, while low counts can be scary sometimes, I still stand by what I said. I LOVE how I feel the last couple months. I don't have the daily sore throats and fever any more. The only symptom that I have regularly is the bone pain and it is pretty mild to moderate these days. I am hoping it continues. Cross my fingers!
Thanks for reading. Have a great day!
I wish each one of you the best!
Kat
