Family Forum / Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / February 2006the saga goes on
My physiotherapist has discharged me, not because I am better or on the mend, but because I am too bad for him to do anything. I'm frustrated by this as basically I've only had one dip, as in my muscle function had always improved even if only slightly since the previous appointment, until today when it has gone back to how it was 2 months ago. However he is also combining that with the history from my previous physio, where I think I had 2 big dips, but even so 3 dips in 8+ months would seem to be a normalish part of healing. Right now my condition is so bad that we have my MIL staying with us during the week because I cannot be alone with the children for more than a short time. The physio suggested I phone the people I am supposed to be having appointments with, namely, the rheumatologist and the pain clinc and try and bring forward the appointments, so far I have had no success, which means I am likely to be left for months with no treatment. Until now, I've thought I was doing quite well at keeping my pecker up, taking things one day at a time, but now I feel quite hopeless.

Just wondering... I haven't been following your story closely enough to know what's going on besides SPD, but I wonder if your endocrine function has ever been looked at? The pain & misery could *possibly* be connected with thyroid/adrenal issues, & perhaps chronic fatigue syndrome (which I have) and/or fibromyalgia? Tell me to shut up if this is inappropriate.  SignatureMogget Anne, How are you sleeping? Are you able to go back to sleep after or during nursing? Not getting enough sleep can be really bad for the muscles. I have chronic muscle pain from my bad feet making my muscles have to work very hard to overcome the unstable feet. Anyway, I know my pain is alot less if I get enough sleep, and I take benadryl all the time to sleep because of that. My life would be horrible without benadryl. Anyway, I thought I would mention it in case it would help you. KC > My physiotherapist has discharged me, not because I am better or on the > mend, but because I am too bad for him to do anything.

I asked my doc and he agreed it was worth a try and wrote me a script for something along those lines, not sure whether it is precisely benadryl, but an antihistamine with a sedative side effect rather than anything else Anne |
