1. Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab. My PT is in North Carolina so I was on my own this week.
• It was a POTSy, insomnia week. It never fails. My monthly womanly visitor=insomnia and increased POTS symptoms. Not cool. Not cool at all.
• I saw one of my OMM doctors on Friday. She did some intense cranial work which always makes me feel better. She is also really pushing for me to go gluten-free for six weeks to see how I feel. Are there any other EDS’rs or POTSies out there who have thoughts or experiences about this? My doctor believes it would be beneficial in calming my sympathetic nervous system down since I already know I have a gluten sensitivity, and with having POTS, my autonomic nervous system is already out of whack.

1. Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT. We worked my core a lot more because of the recent troubles with my ribs subluxing.
• 2 Days of Home Rehab. Again, with an extra emphasis on my core, plus cardio, weights, and floor exercises.
• Zero doctor’s appointments.
• Insomnia. Enough said. You all know how I feel about that.

I’ve never missed a Five For Friday.  Due to the fact that I admittedly have issues, I have to post last week’s for my own peace of mind so at least it’s documented.  Otherwise, I may lose sleep.  I know, I know…Issues, I tell you.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of Physical Therapy.  Lots on the Reformer!
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• 1 OMM Appointment for cranial-sacral therapy and an OA release on my neck.

I feel like I’m playing hooky this morning as I sit under my blanket in my PJ’s, drinking coffee, watching the Today Show, and blogging.  The kids have a half-day today with teacher training in the afternoon. 

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 3 Days of Home Rehab.
• I had my 6 month cleaning at the dentist.  I received a better report with the flossing.
• I had my second treatment with my cranio-sacral therapist.  I am finding that these appointments are ones that I am actually looking forward to.  Gotta love relief.
