Come in here, connect, share the high points, low points and everything in between for this week.
hoping this week goes by fast. i so look forward to doing nothing on the weekends
I had a really rough start to this week - waking up with laryngeal angioedema (throat swelling) plus other symptoms also related to the smoke trigger have lasted all day putting me a bit on edge as they are also similar to the start of swelling attack symptoms.
Hoping for the week to end better than it started!
@AffyAvo oh no affy hope things improve asap that swelling sounds painful
My chronic writers cramp is back, now my whole arm hurts af. I talked to my physical therapist about it. I think she is as worried about it as I am...
@sincerePark336 ouch at least your physio is concerned too thats a good thing as they can figure out ways to cope cramp or pain sucks i hope you feel better soon
Been in an upswing for the past week or two, except for a downturn Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Started a new medication though! Trying to get some healthy habits started now so that I can hopefully maintain them even after this upswing is over.
@RecoveringKid Hooray for the upswing! I hope the medication and healthy habits work well for you!
@AffyAvo It's been giving me a semi-permanent headache, but that may be going away now. It also lowers my blood pressure and I take it at night, so I'm dizzy in the morning. Other than that, doesn't look like there are any side effects yet, so I should be able to up the dose to a helpful level next week. On the downside, I now have enough pills to justify having my own pill container at age seventeen...
@RecoveringKid I have quite a few medications too. It's not great needing so many, but they do at least improve my quality of life and so far I'm still alive!
