I saw the physical therapist yesterday. She was great. She was orginally fully booked until Januaray but my doctor was able to pull strings or whatever and fit me in. They wanted me to see this particular one because of the specfic kind of therapy I need and she also specializes in LGBTQ. The PT asked me a bunch of questions and then checked out my stomach and leg muscles. She says I have a ton of tension in my stomach which is causing my pain. She did several tests and said my left side is stronger. My right side is where my pain is at. She said she can help me relax my muscles so I'm not so tense and also help me relax things so I'm not so dependent on constipaton meds. Ultimately the goal is for me is to not be in this massive amount of pain anymore. She wants to do about 8 sessions so I set them up.

I'm still waiting to hear back about my GI scan

I had to reschedule a couple therapy appointments so I emailed her after my appointment and my therapist was really understanding and easily moved several of my therapy appointments around with no issue.

I have no idea how much these PT sessions will cost. I do have good insurance and I can get on a payment plan. My mom didn't seem worried. I know she understands how much this pain has impacted me and how much I need to get back to work and stuff.

I think my vitamin D is helping with my anxiety. And is starting to help with my energy levels.
