Back in March/April When I had my right hip pain, I just went to PT with out going to the doctor. I then went to a chiropractor for xrays and an adjustment.
The then PT gave me many exercises to do and one of them caused my lower back to hurt. And then I got lazy and stopped all of my exercising, I did them twice a day for a month then stopped. My hip got better until a couple of weeks ago. My left hip started bothering me and hurting then both hips then my knees. I went in asking for a referral for a new pdoc and mentioned my joints and asked about fibromyalgia. She xrayed neck and back, hips and knees.
Only the back did not show arthritis, all 3 others showed osteoarthritis....
I will be able to read the full report by next week, I hope.

Will meet up with the new PT this week and go from there.
I asked my PCP about cymbalta, she had already ordered mobic, but her nurse said she would ask her about ordering it for me.....

We went to trivia tonight, small crowd. We won 2nd place after a tie breaker. That was fun.

Have a good weekend Y'all!

-bizi- I always enjoy reading your posts although I’m sorry to read about the pain you’re experiencing. Hope you have a good weekend as well.

[Sunflower123]

Going to be off PC this weekend. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I’m sending thoughts and hugs to those that are struggling. I wish I could take it away.

So, I met a Japanese language teacher and was assessed for my speaking and reading abilities. I have a long way to go it looks like. I have not studied in three years so I may just be rusty. I studied today already and don't know much vocabulary and enough Chinese characters. Japanese is a difficult language for a native English speaker. I am going to have to study daily for a year at least before I can be fluent. I am motivated though. I cannot keep teaching as is because the opportunities to teach are becoming less for me with less pay. I have to change paths. I would like to become bilingual and work in this capacity. I like Japanese as a language. Thus, studying it is not so much of a chore. I had already studied Japanese for five years before I arrived here in Japan. However, it is not good enough. I passed the most advanced level of the Japanese Language Test. I am still not fluent but am not discouraged. I have a teacher now and will maximize this opportunity. I know I can do this!!

I have been busy filling boxes with my stuff for the move.

think I have about 3 now, and i'm not even halfway their

I feel "normal", which is rare for me so I'm using the oppotunity to be productive

later I'm going to make another emotion card for my "box of emotions"

realised their is 1 I need but don't have

That is very interesting good luck.

Also, one of my college classmates wants to get together for lunch. Nice!! I look forward to meeting her after 20 or more years of not seeing her.

Wondering if I'm going to make it through this day...and come out the other side intact...

[wildflowerchild25]

I am sooooo ****ing enraged today. When I woke up I thought wow, I’m feeling better, feeling jazzed, it’s gonna be a good day! I even considered canceling PHP. But that quickly turned to irritability and rage. I feel so restless and like I want to jump out of my skin. I want to hurt myself just to get the energy out. It’s such negative energy. I’m blasting my music but my headphones keep going out. So I need new headphones.

Uuuuugh whyyyyy can’t I get tf over this???? Where is stability???

[bizi]

need to get going. got up at 10;30
changing meds back to geodon and discontinuing abilify and seroquel due to weight gain and generally not a good mix for me. (some mania and increased addictions)
getting ready to go to lunch, having a gal come over to help me with paper work at one pm.

Not feeling very good. Cramps from he'll (sorry if that's TMI) waiting for pain relief pill to kick in. Husband just went to pick up lunch. I need to spend some time cleaning. If all goes well we will be moving next weekend and if like to have most of the cleaning done before we move. Hugs to everyone

[bizi]

Finished lunch, chicken and sausage gumbo and slaw. yum!
Having a friend coming over to help with paper work, thankful for her. (She just got here).
Need to come up with a halloween costume tonight for the party we are going to this evening. It is after the ULL orchestral concert. Every one will be in costume at the party. Fun!
Doing a load of scrubs, have to baby sit them as they wrinkle real easily and I refuse to iron them.
I am dressed in all black so far....need to come up with something.

I love chicken and sausage gumbo! It's perfect weather for it here.
Stay dressed in all black, follow your husband around and be his "shadow." lol.
I am not good at thinking up costumes. I hope you have fun tonight!

I've had 3 relatively good days this week. I would like this to be more than a trend.

I was able to engage in other activities, which were great distractions.

(When I am less distracted, I am acutely aware of a sense of hopelessness. I don't think I am never truly free of that.)

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

I will be wearing black bunny ears and Black pants and
turtle neck with a red and black boa and
a white face mask like a skeleton and zebra glovelets.
I think I will be cold but the face mask should help to keep me warm.
Will wear this to both the concert and the party.

Doing nothing this weekend. My energy level is very low. I had a day planned to go to a museum that I was looking forward to, but of course it's going to be bad weather, so it's not a good day to go. Just my luck. Hopefully, next weekend will be nice out.

[scatterbrained04]

I don't know what is wrong with me.

[wildflowerchild25]

I’m still in my pjs and I can’t imagine that I will get dressed at all today. I might need cigarettes though, so I’ll have to go out. But as of right now I do not have the energy and I can’t see myself having the energy anytime soon. I did put dinner in the slow cooker, so at least we will have something to eat tonight. Right now I’m hungry but all food sounds awful. And like too much effort.

I have an assignment to do but I might leave it for tomorrow and hope I’m a little more functional. I probably won’t be but whatever. I might end up dropping the class. I might end up dropping the whole program. Right now I can’t see myself going back to my job at all but maybe in two weeks my meds will be right and I’ll be able to. But I’m almost certain I’m resigning at the end of the year. I don’t want to give up the pay and the health insurance but I just don’t think I can do it anymore.

I've been stable for a couple of years now, but for some reason, recently, I've had the feeling of the other shoe dropping. Maybe it's the upcoming time change and all of the darkness. I don't know. I guess I just know that it'll happen at some point, blindside me, and I don't know when.

It turns out my new cat has a whole raft of medical problems (that the spca didn't catch [or tell me about]) and this scares me so much.

I'm afraid of situational depression because it has a habit of morphing into something far more sinister.

I just hope I stay stable. I know my mind is capable of incredible things, both terrible and good. I hope I stay on its good side...

[WildcatVet]

It was a pretty rough week...depression hitting hard but still anxious and restless. This whole week is supposed to cold and raining...not very motivating. Guess I better investigate some new indoor and alone hobbies...

[WildcatVet]

Oh, but, I forgot...finally got my new T appt on Wednesday. We'll have to see how that goes...don't know what to expect.

It has been a busy week for a change. I have my drivers license back. My teeth are hurting terribly at times. I have a walkin appountment tomorrow with the dentist. I am continuing to lose weight when I do not want this to happen. Soon I think it will start to affect my health. In just a few months, I have lost 55 pounds and now losing more. I have an appointment with my doctor because of this. My finances are in terrible shape due to my mounting debts. My bipolar illness has proven costly. I have applied for a home equity loan instead of declaring bankruptcy. But all is not bad. I still have good things in my life. Today I will rest, watch TV, watch a few Netflix movies, and do some research on the Internet. No work for today. Just some fun.
