Feeling caged up

@GezzaP glad the chiro helped. It sounds like you know more language than many of us do.

I hope the psychiatrist is able to get your bipolar back on track.

Sleep can make a huge difference to pain. Mania and hypomania can be exhausting and so burn you out

@creative_writer Yes my body is burnt out and I’m exhausted. The headache is driving me crazy. Can’t take more tablets until 7pm. Putting tiger balm on my head. It offers a little relief. Will have to go back to chiro I think. And will explore Chinese acupuncture. All I want really is a decent night sleep.

@creative_writer Still got a thumping headache. Taking painkillers and applying tiger balm.

How are you today?

[creative_writer]

@GezzaP I slept okay last night, my meds worked, hopefully they work tonight. It’s been easier, but still a struggle.

Hope your headache is feeling more manageable now

@creative_writer  I slept better and feel I can go back to sleep. Head feels better today.

Glad to hear you slept ok.

How have things been feeling for you this week? @creative_writer 🥰

Hello @creative_writer  how you doing today?

[creative_writer]

Hi @GezzaP @AuntGlow I hope you are both doing well today 💖. Feeling a bit achy, but that’s normal for me. I had a rheumatologist appointment yesterday, I have to find a physiotherapist that specialises in joint hypermobility and its other effects on the nervous system. I’ve mentioned I get chronic migraines, I also have chronic neck pain, also have tenderness and discomfort in other areas which is related to fibro. I get auras on a regular basis, thankfully mine are mild. I’m not always good at slowing down during the vision disturbance periods, I may be able to see adequately but probably need to rest up sooner rather than later

Hi @creative_writer  i’m at the chiropractor get back to you later when I have my glasses and can read your message ha ha!

Hi @creative_writer  @AuntGlow i didn’t sleep well again so exhausted. A cleaner was supposed to come to do a quote today but didn’t show up so that was annoying. Just came back from chiro I walked despite the pain did a small shop too. Still in pain. At least my headache has eased, but back and neck still sore. Still hypomanic, but to exhausted to do anything after my walk. Had a pot of peppermint tea while I was out. Had a banana when I got home just now. Won’t do much for dinner. Maybe french fries not very healthy but tasty.
