feeling a bit better

Well, I just wanted to post an update. I tend to post when things are going wrong, but I thought I'd break the cycle.
I am, with the exception of tonight's headache, doing quite a lot better. I am feeling less tired, less depressed, feel like I am less moody, less pain... good deal. So as for why...
well, I have been taking the vitamin D twice a day, equaling 4000 iu daily, as instructed by the doctor. I think it might be making a difference. Not sure how much it is effecting my pain, but I do think it might be helping my moods and possibly fatigue. I also was able to get some tramadol for pain (by the reg. dr I see, not the other jackass). So that is good. I will take that when needed. Haven't noticed any side-effects, no impairment of any kind...lol, and works fairly well on the pain. A lot better than damn tylenol, at least!

What else... oh, we went to Max's (nefew) 6th birthday party yesterday (the 4th). That was good, and Emma loved playing with her cousins. I am so excited for her to start school in just 3 weeks. She needs to be around other kids. We also got some fireworks to shoot off in our backyard last night, which was good. The one Emma picked was the best. :)

  1. So glad that you are feeling better! I'm such a bad blog follower sometimes; I normally stalk you... but haven't been able to pick up the damn computer, as you know. Super happy that you were able to convince the doc to check the vitamin D levels, I suspected they would be low, and I can assure you with a few weeks on an increased daily intake your deep bone pain will be SO MUCH BETTER! Doesn't do shit for the random fits of pain, but the constant bull it helps. Good luck getting Em on a schedule to start school! I know she will love it and you will definately need to make a visit before she starts!
