Saturday, November 10, 2012 - Day 6 of Calmare Treatment
Slept from 11:30 pm through 1:20am. I was up through 7:30am. Insomnia has become a very annoying friend thanks to RSD. Although, I am very grateful that I now am able to sleep in bigger time blocks (anywhere from 1:15mins - 3:30hours). I used to only sleep on 45 minute cycles. So, I do truly appreciate any step in the right direction.
Appointment - 2:00pm
We started basically at the same trigger points as yesterday. Everyday I have been trying to find something to distract me during therapy. Today - was the best!!!!!! My cousin Steva was there chatting with me the entire time and surprise ---- my sister came to Connecticut as well. So, three girls catching up and being silly - really helped even when it felt like the doctore was trying to set me afire.
I do not think I had any change in my right shoulder today. However, after treatment, I was RSD pain free for 3 1/2 hours. Still, the first rection I have when the therapy session is over is one of oddness. My knee feels as if it is not mine. It is so hard to descibe what I am feeling. I wish I had the words.
Today, I felt the pain coming back on slowly. It was a bit better than the past few days when the pain just came back full force. I am thinking these are all good signs.
I take a break from treatment tomorrow. Yay.
