Thanks @Owlunar, yes, feelings really are like the weather (Melbourne weather lol), we wait long enough and it will change, do a full circle. The trick is getting through the wait. Gotta love analogies, they give us a picture that joins the dots.
How was your weekend Dec, Cheerbear, F&H, Adge, Shaz. Sahara... anyone else kind around. I'd love to hear. Mine was rocky after that trigger, and sleeping too much to get house tidy and projects done, can feel my arteries hardening. Trying not to hate myself. Today's another slow start.
Saw my Dr and asked her if the increase in hypertension medication (2wks back) could be contributing to the sudden extra teariness and lythargy. She quickly looked it up and yep, there it was - Depression. She reduced the dose back, gotta lose 5kg at least. As for the CT scan results - it just confirms the OA degenerative changes and scoliisis but no compression fracture, or nerve compression found (but feels like it). I asked about the Physio Care Plan (someone here suggested) and she wrote that up and gave me a referral to a rheumatologist. My bloods were ok'ish. Inflammatory markers up, positive to genetic a alkalizing spodilosis (gotta look that one up yet) but she said not yet showing up on x-ray. So, well, see how all that goes. Good new my Hb has come up (anemia)
Off topic - Gosh, my phone keeps taking random screenshots when online, shows up on the bar up top but doesn't save it to my pH anywhere. Not good for paranoia or hacking fears. Really frequent if I check out airline ticket sales.
So, the arthritis is worse and nothing they can do about it really but manage pain and physio exercises. But maybe the change in meds will help the mood. Told her about the trigger Saturday, she's not interested in MH issues. Have been yrying to juggling 2 GP's - one for physical, one for MH. Gets tricky though.
Rang my S3 who lives in Brisbane, he said he's down today, missing his x he thinks. He's flat hunting again, looking at 14th floor unit in a 28 story block which he actually likes. Worries me. I would never. Wish he'd move back to the hills, more 'normal' setting, but says he loves the city. Go figure. Plz light a candle for him, he worries me.
Well, best try shake a leg get something done, drag myself to my support group. Just needed to say hi to someone. 🌷🌿
