A note from The Faery

I'm sorry I haven't been posting or visiting as much as I should. I'm doing a very intense Physical Therapy that's helping me so very much.


A lot of you know that I have a pretty rare disease that affects my Central Nervous System and causes a lot of pain and muscle spasms. I've decided to try a new therapy to help me gain back the muscle strength and stamina that I used to have. In the process, it is going to help my pain and spasms-There's many treatment modalities where I'm going and I'm usually there from 2.5 - 3 hours and it takes me 45 minutes to get there so that makes for a really long day.


I'm incredibly sore right now, I've been going 3 days a week for 3 weeks except for one week when I had a terrible bronchitis. The soreness is from muscles that haven't been worked in a very long time.


The Physical Therapy place I go, ADAPT, is excellent. The people there are so nice and they are incredibly motivating without being bullies. I must say they've become friends to me already.


So, my posting is and already has suffered a bit but I have to prioritize and right now my health and well-being is taking priority. I'll still post but not every day and I probably won't participate in a lot of meme's. I'll try very hard to visit y'all because I love what you post!


The next 2-3 months will be incredibly challenging for me but I've never backed down from a challenge in my entire life so I look forward to this and the reward at the end!!


Huggles to you all and I'll be back, probably today, LOL, with a review! You're all FanFaeryTastic whether you read this or not

  6. Thanks to you all.

    This is really a great thing! I've dealt with this disease and the diseases that came with it for a long time and there was a time when I felt my life was destroyed and I'd never get better. I'd remain in agonizing pain, bed-ridden and depressed as all hell because I wasn't the same person and I never would be.

    I don't feel like that anymore! I have hope now and that is worth its weight in gold! I've got a goal and that's to get back to work as a Critical Care RN back where I used to work, I guess you could say that's the carrot that's dangling in front of my face when I feel like giving up, if PT is to hard or to painful. I just envision myself back in my scrubs, measuring intercranial pressures and doing great things with the knowledge that I've been given.

    Thanks again for your support and please, this isn't a 'feel sorry for me' post!

    Rejoice with me, support me and celebrate with me as I reach my goal!

    Again, Huggles to you all!

    I'm so glad that the PT is such a good place. I think that is so important with whatever type of therapy you go through.

    Lots of love and ((HUGS)) to you and your recovery!
