1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• Physical Therapy was canceled because my physical therapist was sick.  Lots of sickness going around lately!
• No doctors appointments this week.
• I had major issues this week with my POTS flaring, and therefore insomnia.  Sometimes my heart rate gets so high that it feels like I am running a marathon when I should be sleeping.  Insomnia then makes my POTS worse and it ends up being a vicious cycle.  So needless to say, it has been harder to function this week, but I keep telling myself that like everything else, “This too shall pass.”

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab: Treadmill walking at an incline and strengthening.
• I had my monthly check-up with Larry.
• Today was my 11th (I think) prolotherapy appointment.  It was an eventful one full of hip, rib, neck, and scap injections, paired with a reaction to the numbing medication.  Fun times.

Vacation may now commence.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• I had my December appointment with Larry.  He put four of my subluxed ribs back into place and did a lot of gentle neck manipulations.  He agreed that I may really benefit from regular cranio-cervical therapy and referred me to a doctor in Holt for weekly OMM.  December 22nd is my first appointment.  Fingers crossed.
• I had two gyno appointments.
• 1 Day of PT.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• I scheduled my Dr. Grubb follow-up appointment for January in Toledo.  Now I just need to schedule my Dr. Lavallee, EDS follow-up for January too.

Gastroparesis.  Just another one of those lovely perks of EDS and POTS.  I get these flairs where my stomach decides to stop working.  As if it decides to go on strike with no warning at all.  

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• My PT appointment was cancelled this week.
• Great article about living with an Invisible Illness.  It’s not long but in my opinion, it speaks volumes.
