JayCS’s Fibro Blog

2021-12-15, Wednesday - Slooooowly back to more ‘new-normality’

v2: 18:15 Psychotherapy strenuous but all the more helpful. Cycling & table tennis extremely slow.
v1: 14:05 lots of stressy technical problems in the evening, in morning sleep and in the morning, but survived…

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 8h25, up 3x (10') ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 1 of 7 at night ✅, but ➔ 70%/2 🧐 upon waking, so 1h fw, then 50' Yoga Nidra ➔ 80%/2 ✅

No fw! lbu: belly tensing? No half-sitting on sofa!
alternating shower p0 Sleep ?22:30-
1:53 3’ 90%/1 p1 st1 drink fw1’
4:39 3’ 90%/1 p0 st1 drink fw1’
6:12 3’ 90%/1 p0 st1 drink fw1’ Harwich-dream due to technical tribulations (SD-card, photos blurred, ) Harwich-thought, getting acupressure down.
-6:55 fw. Yoga Nidra 07:38-8:28 = 50’
Sum: 1h30?+6h55=8h25, up 3x (10’)

ACTIVITIES (aiming for 40% of pre-fibro)ACHE: Technical problems, e.g. uploading 60 bills to my sickness insurance was no fun, next time they’re gonna get it on paper if they don’t react to my letter of complaint, with 15 problems and many suggestions what to improve. ➔ 80%/1 :face_with_monocle:, trying some TT today! 2 games, very slow, cycling slow. Psychotherapy: ➔ 80-85%/1 :white_check_mark::face_with_monocle:
(e.g. cycle :biking_man:, TT = :ping_pong:, meetings/social :speaking_head:, mask :mask:, kids :child:, work)
ACTIONSPAINS: OK :white_check_mark:, bit stiff after sitting & slight pee pain as always. :white_check_mark:
(e.g. lie, stand, loins, sit, arms up, neck, stiff, walk, cycle, 0xp1-2, GI, talk, mask.)

Treatments

THERAPIES: Lot of ideas for psychotherapy today: Less acupressure?, re-imagining bad thoughts like bad dreams or memories or focusing on the good bits, limiting stressful activity (technical problems - talking to others). (Also need to destress next Tuesday’s appointments, check dentist first, praps move a meeting and acupressure to Wednesday.)
Ideas from the session:

  1. Free myself from co-dependent & parentifying feelings when telling - not asking - my acupressurist that I want to reduce the sessions.
  2. Practice looking in the mirror, praps with the eyes of little Jay.
  3. My 3 for the bad dream & bad memory of missing a ferry were good: Overriding it with a new imagination, a new ‘reality’ - I paid a person on the street to take me to the ferry. And using Yoga Nidra.
  4. Also using Yoga Nidra before and after a singing session (which also is confronting “the man in the mirror”).
  5. It’s good not to use the things bought for me regularly altho I don’t want them & they are making things I do want go off, after I’ve announced I won’t be doing it any more (which I’ve already made clear).

Development:
In a sense the jab-flare wasn’t as bad as a flu or a total fibro flare, probably due to everything I still do, because I was not able to move without pain & nausea, but if I didn’t I felt quite OK. How do I describe that? Had something of locked-in-syndrome, altho of course not that bad either.

Research-search today:

Lessons in self-care #153 Psychotherapy taught me many strenuous lessons today.
Reasons to be cheerful #166 Table tennis! Everything slowly getting more normal. Reconvalescing.
