It has been an entirely crazy summer around here. We got married at the end of May, had about 2 weeks to relax before we were hit with an intense amount of rain. Unfortunately everything flooded around here. We were pumping water out of our basement for over a week. Then, I went to ISTE with some awesome friends, a huge tech conference for teachers at the end of June. I had two weeks home before I turned around and went to Nashville with my sister, for a BeachBody Coach Summit conference. That was two weeks ago, then our local fair was last week, and this week consisted of training for school.
It all seems so long ago, and yet it doesn't at the same time.
In the midst of all of that...we are TTC. For those of you that do not know what that is, it means trying to conceive. I have felt symptoms and then I think, "is that a part of pregnancy-related symptoms?" Unfortunately, it's just my body and mind playing tricks on me. I'm so eager and very impatient for it to happen that I overthink things. Just like always. It's hard for me not to be impatient, because I know we've been waiting for this moment for a while. So I just need to not think of things in terms of symptoms/feelings/knowing I can test in so many days, etc.
The last test I took was negative. I was bummed, and I had my moment of tears. Then I mentally went through a list of all that is positive in my life, and I felt better. Since it was at 1:30 in the morning, I went to sleep. I woke up refreshed and happy.
I see the Rheum again Monday. It's my 6 month check up. I wrote down a list of the symptoms still going on, plus all the new ones. I've got more aches in my fingers. I limp a lot right now when I have a flare up, when I first get out of bed for about 2 hours, and then when I'm inactive for periods of time and begin walking again.
I'm still super tired. Did I ever mention they did a thyroid test and it came back normal? So that was ruled out. I'm going to ask to be taken off the Cymbalta, as it is not helping my symptoms.
I'll do a post after the appointment Monday.
