pain flare yesterday, was awful.

How are you @GFD

hoping today is better for me! and a god day for GFD. I know yesterday was a milestone and yay to be asked for the part time gigs

I am sorry about your pain flare. I was sore yesterday so I took it easy. I also couldn’t sleep for the first time in an over a week. So I will take the good with the bad because the good is getting better than the bad.

This morning I had a very good indoor cycle workout and my neck muscles felt strong through the 40 minutes. Some days it is tough to keep my head in a good position for more than 15-20 minutes. I am about to go out for my third ever massage, so tonight should be a good night.

I hope today is a good day for everyone.

Sorry, dtc. Was today any better?

no flare Wed! nice after flares m and t

so far today some pain that is in “might settle out, might worsen into a flare”. Had one round of that already that did settle on its own.

I hate having pain of some level every day. I’m 38. :frowning: kinda young for this, not that anyone should have to suffer pain (cmon medical science solve pain please)

THANK YOU for asking, @Tom_hampton . Hugs. Thanks for reading. You and the lurkers (people message me and say they lurk and it means something to me)

hoping tomorrow is a good day for you. Health problems remind us of how fragile we all are.

Yay for no flare wednesdays!

I am happy to hear about your Wednesday. Hopefully it continues through today and is a sign of a the turnaround you have been hoping for.

I hope you slept well and are feeling better today Allison.

I cannot get rid of the pain and knots in my neck and trapezius muscles. It has been 3 months since my epidural so it is time to call today and make an appointment for the next one. I really thought I had turned a corner last weekend. Hopefully soon.

here’s to a corner for you and one for me. like oprah - a corner for everyone!

Sorry. I’ve been away for a bit. Business travel to far off corners.

Here’s to “turning corners” for everyone.

Allison, how are you feeling this week?

I had another deep tissue massage yesterday and I slept like a rock for most of last night.

I am still waiting for Pain Management to schedule me. So far I have been screened on the phone twice and told I qualify and will be called later. That was a week ago. But the good news is that my pain has lessened dramatically since Saturday. No knots in my trapezius muscles.

been a little better M and T, some pain today and hoping the housework I did earlier doesn’t make it all flare later today. There is a delay sometimes

Osteopathic MD appt tomorrow and I like this doc

glad you have less trap pain!!

Good luck with your appointment tomorrow and I hope you have a pain free night.

I was just think about you guys…. And came here to ask how things were going.

Im happy to hear that you both seem to be having a few good days. Even if it’s a bit up and down for TC, it still sounds largely positive compared to 2 months ago. I hope that continues and you can both string together a few wins.
