Saturday, October 10, 2009 | A Frustrating story
I have been doing so well this week! Almost no pain at all.. As a matter of fact I've been able to cut my meds down by half! So last night I decided I would try going Saturday night without taking my pain meds, since I've been feeling so well. Huh well I woke up this morning feeling.. ok then as the day progressed my low back, neck, arm and right hip is moderately flared up again.  I just tried changing the litter out in the boxes and I was so stiff so I had to ask my hubby to do it for me. My scheduled time to take my meds was 4pmish so I know this is NOT "withdrawals".  I am so very frustrated with this. Last week was so wonderful for me. It was so nice to have positive energy and be productive. Just when I think things are behind me I start all over again. I have to sit and think about what it is that I did last week different. I've been drinking Odwalla Superfood so I know that contributed to the energy factor. I didn't have to take Ibuprofin as much as I would normally do. I've decided most of my flare up have to be attributed to the weather patterns. I'm going to start keeping a log of weather in my area and pain levels. Almost like performing my own little experiment.  I hope this pain doesn't hang around.. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

    Well, I know how you feel. In body and mind. A whole week with almost no pain would be near heaven in my mind. Wow, that was a good break for ya but as I say.....the pain always returns it is my default status. Good move drinking that Superfood, I've seen it and it sounds like a really good supplement. How's the nausea?? Take care sweety. I hope the best for you. : )
