So on top of all of the crazy, I managed to reinjure my back.
Three steps forward, two steps back.
The most humbling thing has been learning that this will be an injury I will be managing long term, that I need to listen to my body and it’s limitations.
I’ve been upset -

I feel like I have let so many people down by not paying attention. I know I am being hard on myself, but I can’t help it.
Back to the specialist, the pain doctor and to the neurologist.
Now to be kind to myself, listen to me and know... I got this.

Oh my injury is actually an injury to the “Sacroiliac joint”
In short, it houses a lot of nerves and so fml when it’s hurting.

Time to listen to my body and do the work!
Last time I was injured, I tried to talk about it openly only to be told I was being self-indulging and attention seeking.
This time I will be more open about what’s happening - keeping me accountable, show my progress and remember on the bad days, there were even worse ones.

Woke up this morning feeling mentally better and in less pain then yesterday. After a long warm shower, got to be present for a while. After the last week of being all over the place, it’s a refreshing change.
The meaaages of supported glittered in this thread mean so so so much to me. I am grateful you people are in my world

Struggling with the medications at the moment. I’m exhausted a lot, which means I feel like I am useless. On the days I am not working, I do little except my exercises & rest.
I know, I know - this is how your body heals itself, when you rest & sleep. Just feeling lost atm.

So after spending the weekend emotional, shattered from fatigue and in pain, back to the docs again.
This is the hardest part of the recovery I know - doesn’t stop it being so damn emotional.

The docs today was productive & the then the pharmacy visit even more so.
@GruntFX helped make it easier for me to manage everything & it’s a serious stress off my shoulders. I’m still emo, but less so.
I got a plan. I have tools. I have support. I am so lucky.

After a rather shitty fatigued (near scary fainting incident) day, the realization that the changes in my medication may be to blame for the rapid change in my body response.
So thanks to my ace nurses for taking care of me today.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Umarmendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Umarmendes Gesicht">

Just read up on the side effects of one of the meds that I am on that’s being tapered down.
No wonder I feel like shit.

Finally fessed up in a Facebook post and I feel better, but still fear the attention seeking accusation (like a few posts above in this thread) will hit in a few days.
