Day 17

So, seventeen days ago I eliminated wheat from my diet, ten days ago I started a new muscle relaxant to deal with the back/nerve, and six days ago I started seeing a chiropractor who began a manual disc decompression regimen.

The last three days I have felt better than I have in eight months. 🙂

The pain in my back is fading, the sciatic nerve has gone quiet, and all my other aches and pains, from my knees to my shoulders to my elbows, have vanished. The fatigue still settles in around 7:00pm, and my stamina is low, but boy, does it feel good to move again.

Unfortunately, I changed so many things at once, it will take time to sort out what’s doing what…but I feel like I’m moving forward after so many months of stagnation and backward slides. I’m certain I still have a long journey ahead, and more than a few backward slides to face, but I believe something is finally clicking into place.
