Well, I don't feel much better but today i have tried to follow the doctor's orders. I'm taking the Tylenol and Advil, which just masks some of the pain, really. I went to a Basic Pilates class, which was depressing to be in, with all of the "old people" and then I swam for 15 minutes. I just downloaded the stress reduction tape to my I Pod, too. Also went for an x ray of my sacroilieac.
The counselor asked me what I would do if it turned out not to be Lupus; I could see where she was going-- like what would I worry about next? She's right. I am trying not to let my mind go nuts over every little pain, but some of this still doesn't make sense to me. But, I am much calmer and I see him again on Monday. Last night we had a really good birthday dinner with my older son.
Hopefully, some of this will die down eventually.
