Well it's been hard to get a decent night's sleep. Since the last post, I have gotten 1 good night's sleep, and the rest.... well I got some sleep during mornings... afternoons.
I had an appointment with Dr. Stanton Friday, he is a bone/pain specialist (or something like that. We are now wondering if my back pain is truly a disc bulge, it might be more pain stemming from either arthritis or my Fibromyalgia. On Thursday I will be getting a MRI on my whole back. Then on the morning of the 26th, I see Dr. Stanton again to go over it.
As of right now, no more PT. But he wants me to work through the pain **AND MIGRAINES** and keep up with the gym & my stretches. I had plans to do the stretches today, but I woke up this morning, well really I didn't wake up this morning. I had one of the morning that sleep is too strong for me to fight. It's absolutely horrible. You can't do anything & just keeping your eyes open is a struggle. I have never heard of anyone, other than other Fibromyalgia sufferers, that have this problem. This meant that I couldn't get to help with the try-outs for the Variety Show this morning. I had Jolene come anyway & bring cupcakes for it. After, she came by and hung-out with me. That was great, we haven't done that in quite awhile. Anyway, I didn't get to my stretches. I will do them Sunday (I guess that is technically today) & make Jolene go to the gym with me on Monday. She is going to hang out with me all day Monday.
Has anyone reading this, ever have the sleeping problem?? Let me know. It would be nice to feel somewhat normal...
My friend who has fibromyalgia stretches in the hot tub morning and night. It helps her get through the day. As for the sleeping, I remember being so tired I couldn't do ANYTHING!
ReplyDeleteIs there ever anything normal with these diseases? Sorry you missed the try-outs. But I'm glad your friend came over! Hang in there -
