Day of relief...

OK so I had a day this week where my pain was ok...like a 5! I don't know why. I didn't do anything different and I tried to look back and figure out if something had changed. Do you ever have a day, hour, minute where your pain is ok? It gave me hope that if it happened once it could happen again. It was like the colors were brighter, the world was a friendlier place...made me wonder what it would be like to just be pain-free most of the time. I know there are people who are...hoping you all have a day like that soon! xo

I don't have days without pain or completely lowered pain, but I do have moments of almost no pain at all. That is what drives me crazy. I don't know if you're familiar with vascular type pain, but it is most often waxing and waning. I can be a zero for like 15 minutes and then "bam" back to a five or even higher for a long time. Sometimes sustained, sometimes back to a 1-2 or zero. It's like musical pain levels. But if you are in constant high level pain and have a level 5 day I would be very happy for the relief. Just don't get over-confident like I do and do something to bring the pain back. Every time I have a moment of low pain I start planning my future and how I can get out there and drive again and then I walk around a bit, the pain immediately returns and I am back to "nope can't do that anymore!" But with meds I usually keep my pain increases to a 5.

If I ever woke up and there was no pain...I'd think I was dead....I don't remember life without pain.

Glad for your day of relief <3

Hopefully breaks like that help you recharge for the less-good days. Wishing for more good days in your future!
