It has been a busy week and I got a lot accomplished despite Lyrica compounding my depression, constant pain in my limbs and back, and muscle spasms (although getting a lot done may have been partly responsible for that). But it feels a little like success to me.
I saw the specialist on Sunday for a 3 1/2 hour evaluation and physical examination.
I got all my medical records released to the specialist so he can further analyze. This required trips to Boulder and to Denver University Hospital.
I moved half of my stuff out of storage and into my apartment (I grabbed the lighter boxes anyway).
I got my car repaired (again) as the alternator had blown and caused the battery to fail.
I met with my regular physician to get off Lyrica and start taking low-dose Cyclobenzaprine.
I went to the Fibro Meetup-- even though it turned out to be cancelled, I still made it, and that's something.
I paid bills (so many medical bills) and I washed laundry (that was a challenge, I felt weak that day).
I went to the chiropractor.
I even managed to do some reading.
Not a bad run of it, all in all.
