Small Steps..
To quote a new friend, we have to take small steps, it can’t happen overnight. I must confess so much less pain. The chiropractic theory seem to be working well and the “fibromyalgia” is going away. I’m using weights and machines to bring me back to strength, a righteous pain I call it. “Dr.T” makes my bones pop and crack and after the second day I feel better, soreness leaving and I stand taller. This is amazing to me. As explained in the office, so much was off about my spine, no wonder I was feeling so fragile. While I still battle the anemia, the horrible fatigue, that too being treated, will finally go away.
I think I’m getting really mad! For seven years I’ve pretty much retired from Life, hurting & tired, taking pain meds to get me through the day. SOMEbody could have, should have, told me about this. It’s maddening to know, out of ignorance, I endured the loss of these last years, hurting too much to DO. Thank Goodness I have a forward looking doctor that suggested I do this.
So I take small steps, listen to what these young people tell me and I get STRONG again! It’s a road, a new bend…walk it out!

Last week I saw my PCP and I gues he’s decided it’s time to bring me into the land of the living! He has suggested I see a chiropractor!

Now I’ve seen the chiropractor 3 times. They do stretching and strength training first, then work on me. After taking all kinds of pictures of my bones, I’ve learned a few great things. I DON”T have osteoporosis(much to my rheumatologist’s dismay)and I also don’t have arthritis. BUT I do have a lot of twisting in my spine and loss of curvature in my neck and lower back. Don’t know how that happened, just did. Leave it to me Seems to me after learning what I have in the last few days, that we should see the chiroprator first, then when he can’t fix it we check ourselves into the “shop” and see an MD (Osteopath, of course). This is a hard row to hoe, but so worth the fight. Again I’ll keep ya posted on my progress.. |
Hence the fibromyalgiac pain! He says it’ll take awhile, but we’ll get there….so this nice young man pokes me till it feels like he’s hit every fibro pain trigger there is, then he makes my joints pop, releasing them back into their proper alignment. Iache, but it’s more than ust the fibro pain, it’s a rightous ache, like I’ve done a lot of work. I’m assured I have as bones must move back into the pattern Father wrote, and it’s not an instant fix. It hit me last night, and today, I’m taking a nap. I’ve actually skipped it for four days, have had energy and not too achey. That changed last night when I suppose I ran out of steam. So today I slept, no harm or foul in that though. One day out of a week is SO much better than everyday!
