Day 10. Update on the pants

So I'm taking the pants back. I decided to take them back, I really don't think they are right for me. I had dreams about them last night haha! Today is a rest day... I don't really plan on doing much except for cooking so healthy food and going off to physio as Thursday is my physio day. Actually they just called and asked me to come in earlier so I might go for a swim or a ride and then go off to physio an hour earlier than I usually do.

I've been thinking about this for a long time and I has decided that once we got a thermomix I would stop eating wheat/gluten as I think it gives me GI issues and also plays havoc with my eczema. SO as we got a thermomix for mum for her birthday I have no excuses now. That also means that I am giving up junk food/fast food. No more crap going in my body. I need to be healthy and hopefully my body will repay me with less EDS flareups. Now that that's decided, I am researching breakfast, snack lunch and dinner ideas that are quick and healthy, as well as being GF. It's not as easy as it would seem actually.

Day 10: What little things make your life easier?
Well my crutches are a big help when I don't have the strength to walk, for example if we go out or after work when I'm seriously tired. My heat packs and hand held massager are really good as well and I am so grateful that we can afford to have health insurance. To be honest, I haven't really found one think yet that makes my life easier. I still struggle everyday with just about everything, including extreme fatigue so I'm still looking.

Turquoise for Dysautonomia Awareness Month

Again it's been a month since I posted... Opps! It's been an intense month! My endoscopy went well. They were worried about an anaphylactic reaction to the Propofol but luckily that didn't happen. Sadly though they didn't find anything so still no answers but I've got my gastro appointment in about 3 weeks so hopefully we'll have a plan to move forward then. I also managed to have a POTS flare after the procedure due to the 'eating and drinking nothing for 18 hours' thing. But after fluids and the threat of an admission I went home to snuggle up with Ami. Next in September was an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts, uni problems and a possible CRPS diagnosis, amongst others. Let's just focus on the possible CRPS diagnosis. As you may or may not know, I fractured my right ankle in 2014, followed by 13 weeks in a boot and crutches + 4 months of rehab, plus rehab that continues to this day. My ankle has since never be the same, but usually it...

Absent

Sorry I've been so absent recently. I've had loads of exams this week and I've been quite stressed and not super healthy. I don't think my body has been coping very well with all the stress and I've had some GI flare ups and joint issues these past couple of days. On Saturday night I went to a party and I paid for my choices the next day as I couldn't walk without my crutches. I do through phases where I am almost jumping off the walls and feeling amazing and the next day I can't walk. Boom and Bust. I've never been very good at managing the boom and bust and stress cycle. I guess I haven't really mastered the art of pacing quite yet. I also did something quite stupid in my semi-drunken state on Saturday. I told some of my friends what I'd been going through. Usually I would never say anything and I wish that I could take it back, but I can't. I guess in that moment I just felt safe. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't tell them everythi...

The wrath of medication forgetfulness

I'm really feeling the effects of my stupid forgetful brain this morning. I didn't realise how much my medication helps (because sometimes it doesn't feel like it does anything) until I forgot to take it last night. I have to admit, it probably wouldn't have been a great combination with the alcohol that was probably still in my system when I went to bed, but still, I'm really feeling the effects this morning. The bad part, my rescue medication has some seriously horrible side effects so I probably won't be taking that any time soon. I guess I deserve the pain I'm in this morning, after all I did drink and then forget to take my medication before I went to bed last night, over estimating my pain management skills I think. Now even the sound of my computer keys tapping is sending my brain into sensory overload and I have no idea how I'm going to get all my assignments done today. I deserve this, but still I feel sorry for myself. The feeling of waking u...
