Re: Is there a reason we've ended up here?

[Guest guest]

This last year and a half for me.. with having to cut back on meds, then

running out and now working my way back up.... to have been through it

before.. to know and recognize the stages.. sometimes I wonder if I got

the 'fun' of this just so that I could 'see' it and 'feel' it from a

perspective of understanding this time...

It was fascinating, in a sick way to go through the stages... sometimes

watching them come, sometimes have them jump on me.

Perfect time to share my day.

Got the joy of vacuuming the house today. Back in my bad bad bad days I

was dividing the house into about 10 sections.. doing a section, resting

for half and hour, going on to the next. As I got stronger it became

fewer sections and less rest time between.

I did it today, dreading it, just dreading it.. gimpy arm with the dead

weight piece of junk canister vac we have. And the heat...

So... I got started and ended up doing it in two sections, and it was two

only cuz of the moving of things to vacuum under... I shove from one room

to the other and then back again... I did it in less than two hours

total... and pretty much, for me. slam dunked it.. heat and all.

The only sucky part was gimpy arm... it was BAD hurting after I go the

first half done.. ending up doing a couple of arthritis level OTC

pills... 8 hour timed release that pretty much made gimpy arm feel NOOO

pain. It was so bad that I had pain in the shoulder even typing... Well

that 8 hour timed release dose ran out 3 1/2 hours ago.. and I'm still

feeling just fine.

I plan on dosing again before bed.. just to make sure that all the

inflammation and stuff is down in this heat so that I can try to sleep..

it's now nearly 90 in the house. the storm didn't hit, so the cold front

that was behind it hasn't hit us as promised.. so sleeping tonight might

just be in my imagination. Once it hits the temp is supposed to drop

about 30 degrees... darned it.. it was supposed to hit us hours ago!!!!

Anyway.... my body is getting stronger again.. endurance is building..

walking is probably helping with that. And it is just once more proving

that with the levels improving our quality of life improves with it...

Why can't we teach them that? It's the levels of hormones, and allowing

our bodies to utilize them.. that's the whole blasted key to this.. it's

not a dozen masking drugs.. it's just getting the levels up....

arggghhhhh
