Physio went well. She respected the fact that I'm dealing with a lot of physical symptoms right now from the meds (both withdrawing and starting new ones). Kept it pretty basic today with a few easy exercises and a 5 minute heat wrap on my neck and then ultrasound on my upper back/base of neck were all the really tight muscles are. My lower back is a lot better except for the right SI joint so she checked it but didn't do much there. She said those muscles in my upper back/neck don't know anymore how to relax. *shrugs* Well I have known for a long time that I carry around a lot of tension in those areas. Think when the bloating feeling goes away and I can lay on my stomach I will book a massage (my doctor wants me to anyway). She also mentioned accupuncture...so will consider that. I've done accupuncture before...not for that though. Also today paid off my outstanding ambulance bills (almost $400) and submitted them to my insurance company. So now just to take the cheque from my insurance company to the bank and put it on my credit card. Picked up a few groceries as well. And been trying to eat. Was doing okay earlier today now I'm in bad pain again...but I will keep working away on it. Determined not to let all this stuff get the best of me and to get on track this year...but it's been a hard start.
