@macha I'm sorry. I hope you get help soon.

Woke up this morning, and trying to do anything with my hand made me cry out in pain. Hours later, ...and some pot, and it's so much better...other than my thumb.
There's been something wrong there a while. The knuckle pops with motion and it just hurts like a bitch. But trying to get time off to see anyone..
Are these unusual symptoms for you?
-
@greenflashlight Yeah. My hands are usually not the part of my chronic pain. The thumb thing is seriously WTF.
-
I'm down three pounds from I started working out two weeks ago.
Yay for small victories.

That sucks. I mean, it would have sucked anyway, but new pain just feels more insulting. I hope you get it seen to soon.

Three pounds isn't small! Celebrate or I will celebrate for you.
I don't know what that threat was but trust me, you don't want it to happen, so you better give yourself credit.

That's like one third of my ENTIRE DOG. And she hogs so much of the bed.
Three pounds is a lot!

My goal was to always get back down to my weight that I was when I was more active. Before my knees and feet decided to say otherwise. Which is going from 254 lbs to 195. Sure at 6'3" that's not like terrible, but I'm not a fan of the dadbod. Especially when I don't even have kids.
So 251 lbs, that's not bad for starting out. A pound a week isn't a bad goal. But eating so much protein wasn't expected. But helpful in not really being all that hungry as often.
Also Greek yogurt. I've literally been living off it.

"Have you tried focusing on your breathing?"How Denmark officially treats fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, POTS, migraine disorders, whiplash, and a dozen other supposedly psychiatric disorders. I'm sorry you had to deal with someone who bought into the 'functional disorders' scam.

I mean, some of us are fans of dadbods. Just saying.

My hand has been problematic. It keeps hurting, my thumb is less and less mobile.
My rheumatologist - I kid you not- Told me it's probably a side effect from the first shot of my vaccine.
... (I ordered some compression gloves, we'll see if I can figure something out to help)

I got a home TENS unit and it's a dream. Cost me all of 35 bucks, and it's like a massager on demand. I f'n love it.

I had to look up what that was and then I did and went "THE BUZZY ELECTRO-THING THE CHIRO PUTS ON MY BACK" and got very excited. I didn't know they were available for home use, she said while stretching out the back muscle that's been fucked up from a car accident for twenty years.
That's awesome! Enjoy.

@Cobalt I appreciate the pictures and updates, thank you.
Here ya go. I'm officially out of dressings... I didn't take a picture last night b/x honestly it was pretty fucking gross. You know how when you pop a blister there's a little layer of loose skin? Imagine that around your entire pinky.
It itches man.

@aria Yeah, I've got residual pain from whiplash from being rear-ended, and this thing has been a dream. Here's the exact model I got, if you're interested. at 35.99 it's -very- worth it.
-
My hand is getting worse. I need that fucking compression glove and hope like hell it helps
-
Compression gloves did not much. So after hours in an Urgent care, I am now in a splint that makes everything a million times harder, but my thumb is immobile. Of course, it's my dominant hand, too
argh

@macha How's the pain, though?
