Painful Weekend

Still in a lot of pain, have had better weekends. I did several Duolingo German revision lessons this morning as a pain distraction. 

I scored 96% and I swear it’s because the higher my pain levels, the more I try and focus and so score better.

Even the electric heat pad is doing little to ease my pain at the moment. I’m counting down the days to the Pain Clinic appointment and feeling rather sorry for myself right now, which I hate doing. 

I’m finding it very difficult to feel positive. The pain is relentless and seems to resist most medications offered by any GP, hence the Pain Clinic referral. 

I feel like I am always moaning so didn’t Blip yesterday - and I couldn’t get logged in! I need to go to the appointment with an open mind but my heart is telling me it won’t help my pain - has anyone had successful specialist physio for their fibromyalgia pain? 

I always feel that my joint hypermobility syndrome diagnosis is completely overlooked by all medical professionals.

When I was first diagnosed with joint hypermobility syndrome and subsequently with fibromyalgia, physios refused to treat me, saying there was nothing that physio could do for my conditions - I am still unsure if this was just a fob off or whether there was some truth to their reasoning for discharging me.

I have a busy week of life admin and I don’t know how I’m going to get through it all but I keep telling myself I have before and I can again, with varying levels of belief in my fortitude.

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend - thanks for all your comments, stars, hearts and folllows, I will catch up ASAP :) xx
