Can you believe I'm still canning tomatoes?
I can't believe how long the tomatoes are putting off a crop, seems like I have been canning them for 6 weeks or more. Of course it hasn't helped at all the rsd moved into my feet, we went camping and I flaired up so badly that for 3 days I couldn't even move hardly at all. Just getting up to go to the bathroom left me exhausted, in more pain that I have ever experience, and freaked out. I kind of lost it, looking through all my pain journals for what other meds I started at the same time I started the neurontin, etc. I have been off the neurontin for a while now, but my feet/knees are worse, not better. So I'm not even positive it was the neurontin making my feet swell. I do know it made it impossible for me to think, move, drive or function well so in that respect I am so glad I stopped taking it.I have been at 10+ for over a week now, this has been the worse time I think in my life, I just don't know how to handle all appendages, both arms both legs, plus headache, neck ache, wheezing breath, upset stomach, low back pain. It's just too much for me. I know I will adjust and learn how to deal with it, but still have panic attacks that I can't stay like this, I just can't do this. Hopefully the Lexapro will kick in and help with the panic/anxiety attacks. I really hope so, I have enough to deal with without going into a panic over it. I am trying to get into water therapy classes but the pool at the high school is closed until the 8th. I know it helps my arm for me to move it around in the spa, but kind of hard to really stretch out my legs in it, and work them some. Besides with the burning back full force and in my feet now too, hot water can be a bad thing not good thing sometimes. Sometimes it applifes my burning feeling and I must get out asap. So a cooler place to work out might feel good. I am still canning but it is taking me a long time to do a little amount. One batch of tomato sauce may take me two days to complete. I refuse to give up, as long as I can keep up and the produce doesn't go bad, I figure I am doing it just fine. But I am getting very weary of it and close to telling my husband enough, pull the vines.
