1. Medical Stuff:

  • Knocking on wood big time BUT I think I may have turned the corner for the better with POTS. My super bendy fingers and toes are crossed tight.
  • 1 Day of PT. Graston’s Therapy on my quads.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • 1 shrink appointment.
  • I saw Dr. Winkler on Thursday for OMM.
  • Started an antibiotic for a sinus infection.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • I had a better week. Especially with sleep, and therefore keeping symptoms at bay. Hoping this continues, and feeling grateful for better days.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I saw Larry on Tuesday. He put my ribs back into place and did cranial OMM on me.
  • I saw Dr. Rosen (shrink) after Larry on Tuesday. We discussed my recent med adjustments, and the best ways to cope through this flare. We came up a with a log I will be keeping for now, with information about each day (flares, no flares, where I am at in my cycle, medication info, how I feel, any differences to note, etc…)
  • I spent a lonnnnnggggg, but very worthwhile day in Toledo on Thursday seeing Dr. Grubb for POTS. I will try and blog about my appointment later.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • I had to cancel PT on Monday. I felt sick after school, and was worried about driving.
  • 2 Days of Home Rehab.
  • I saw my shrink on Tuesday. It was a needed appointment to talk meds, and figure out how to cope with this latest flare. Love him.
  • I still had a week of struggling with POTS, and therefore sleep. I started a new med, and am really, really, REALLY looking forward to feeling like my body is somewhat cooperating with me again.

1. Medical Stuff:

  • 3 Days of Home Rehab. Loving the new treadmill!
  • I saw my shrink on Monday. Right now, I am seeing him every other week. It’s a good thing.
  • I had an eye appointment on Monday. I haven’t seen my eye doctor in a couple of years so I was due. It turns out I really am getting older and my eyes say so : ) I have to wear my reading glasses, “more than reading glasses now but not all of the time,” and my prescription is now a bit stronger. Sigh.
