Well, there are a few bad things about living in a small town. Again, twice in about a year, my pain mamagement doctor haas moved. The first, about an hour away. The second, across country. We have 2 super Walmarts and 4 walgreens but only 2 pain management Dr's. One isn't on my insurance. So I went to the other.
I have been to several doctors of various specialties and ...1 Recommendation -

Still no improvement in the fatigue and "brain fog" I read about ( and experience).
Got home and by 1:30 was on the sofa trying to nap ( wit...1 Recommendation -
Yet another day begins. I hope to get some things done here at the house. some things have been neglected for far too long ( this latest set back really has set me back). But I do not overwhelm myself. If I were to start to think of everything that needs to get done I get stressed and that is not good for me ( I see that especially lately).
I did make it out to dinner last night and that was a goo...1 Recommendation -
On top of all of this, well, whatever THIS is, now I can add some "female" problems to the ever growing list!
I am beginning to feel like an old car that is just breaking down part by part.
My mood is well, I think just more complacent at this point. What choice do I have? Not that I choose my moods, they seem to dictate more than I do. and maybe if there is something going on hormonally...1 Recommendation
