Still at it with the bike, though I had physical therapy on Saturday and gave myself Sunday to rest, and back at it yesterday. Today I had to go to the dentist first thing in the a.m., so I had to blow it off--and I might try to get on the bike tonight--but I have a chiro appointment.
Other developments:
5/23 I had a consultation with a rhematologist to get screened for things like RA or Psoriatic Arthritis, etc. I gave him enough information to support CPDD/CPPD (aka pseudogout), too. And given I am convinced I might be sub-clinical for hypothyroid--the pseudogout dovetails nicely with that. I also saw my kidney doc for my usual six month follow up visit.
Bad news: I am up 5lbs (and I don't mean the 5-7 lb "vacillation" I have been struggling with, but 5 MORE pounds on top of that), so I'm up 10-12 lbs over where I want to be.
Good news: I think I may have tinkered my supplements enough where my diastolic bp has been trending towards a consistent /70 for the last 2 months.
I also suspect the combination of anti-oxidants I have been on is too much, and maybe SOME of the pain I am experiencing might be a pro-inflammatory response, so I'm dialing things back a bit and waiting and seeing if it has an impact.
6/18 I have three appointments scheduled. First up will be the follow-up visit with the rheumatologist. 2nd appt of the day will be a consultation with the ortho who replaced my kidney doc's knee. 3rd appt will be my first appt with who I hope to be my new endocrinologist. Lots going on that day.
Struggling to move, stay motivated, and trying not to let my anxiety and depression get the better of me. I don't have time to hold anyone else's hand/s these days, and even less patience to put up with some folks who are so self-unaware to realize they've beenshitty disappointing friends. I get it, I've got a lot of issues, and I'm working towards changing that, but if I've said "I'm so depressed at the idea of a possible fibromyalgia diagnosis" and you, yourself have fibro, and you do not reply to that text on your phone (yet the day before, your text to me would rival War and Peace in length--and yet you claim you did respond--yet none was received on my end), I have nothing more to give. And this is the nicest way I could put this. I'm not going to get into it further.
