Hey fam ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผโค๏ธ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒˆ
As you can see from my last posts that I’ve been doing a lot better (no jinx). My chronic pain & diseases have been far more manageable after adjusting some of my meds. I’m feeling more positive about my body, both inside & out. My energy level is through the roof, which is fucking incredible! Though I’m testing the waters. Like the simple act of checking how my pelvic floor reacts to wearing shorts & pants vs loose pajama bottoms. Last time I tried wearing sports style shorts I could only manage an hour before hurting. The goal is I can wear them all day, pain free. I’ve always been extremely sensitive to what I wear… perhaps that’s why I loooovvveee being naked lol jk.

The testing of waters is always a bit of a challenge for me. Once I’m feeling well I just want to go crazy active & do everything I’ve been missing. But I’m going to be better this time around. If you’re reading this Brooke (my pelvic floor physical therapist & great friend for the last 10 yrs) challenge accepted to behave myself!

Brooke, along with my family & close friends, get to witness 1st hand my crazy adrenaline junky side. I LOVE to MOVE & GROOVE. But have delayed muscle soreness, fatigue, & pain, so I don’t feel my body hurting for 48-72 hours following an activity, which is challenging. So in my head I think I can go-go-go like the energizer bunny, but in reality I end up causing a flare & crashing.

There was a time that I had gone into a flare after feeling so damn great & messaged Brooke how I didn’t know what caused the pain & how frustrated I was. She asked me if I had been active & if this was delayed onset. I told her I hadn’t done that much, only a couple days ago was I a “little active”. She asked me what I did. Me: “Well I hiked 15 miles, then I went to the gym to lift some weights for about an hour, followed by 2 hours of yoga. I wish I had “normal” body.” Brooke (I imagine being exasperated) messages back “Normal bodies can’t do that” ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿคฃ Thankfully she puts up with my insanity. I’m truly going to gradually strengthen my body this time round, doing little adventures & not over doing it. Loving not hurting ๐Ÿฆ‍๐Ÿ”ฅ
