Wednesday November 9 - Disability community check-in thread

It's been an okay day for me. I've been zoned out and depressed for most of the day, and the brain fog has been making all of that worse. My pain hasn't been horrible today. I've started to get back into my physical therapy routine, so my muscles are still recovering from that as well. My doctors have been coming up with good solutions over the past few months, too. Just increased the dose of my muscle relaxer, and surprisingly, it seems to be doing something, but I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be on it all the time. I was basically told to try it out for now. I also have a new hormone doctor who is looking into the whole likely estrogen dominance issue along with other hormone problems. And my geneticist thinks getting a PICC line (and possibly a permanent port) for fluids might help with a lot of my symptoms. She doesn't think I can hydrate orally, even with high levels of salt. To be honest, that's kind of exciting because she has an idea that might work. She found a problem and might be able to fix it. Too bad I'll probably have to wait a month before starting that.

Oh, and I recnetly started a new autoimmune medication!! Still on a pretty low dose, though.

Anyway, those are some things that are on my mind. Hope everyone's having an okay day so far.
