Not so great lately. My chronic aches and pains got worse. I stopped trying to keep up with housework. I got demoralized that I feel this crummy physically and mentally.

So today I got some xrays of my neck and right arm. Plus I started back on Indocin. That's a prescription pain med that helps a lot. After I get my next vaccine shot next week, I'm ggoing to hire someone to help me with some household chores.

The isolation of following COVID precautions has gotten to me. I live alone now. I just alone too much of the time. In mid-May, I'll relax my precautions.

If my achiness doesn't simmer down, I'm going to ask for referral to a rheumatologist. I have to find ways to feel better. I'm getting too down and neglecting to much.

Thanks for asking. I've been increasingly depressed since New Year's.
