Physical Therapy, Ahoy!

Last week I went to see my PCP, she wanted to check in and see how things were going. I explained that I was still having a hard time between my stomach and the pain from the fibromyalgia. I also told her about how my arms and hands will go numb sometimes and spasm. If I'm holding anything I drop it (thats why lately plastic cups and paper plates have been what I've been using). When I finished, she started looking at different medications, but was worried since most medications end up making my symptoms worse. So she decided to take a different approach and asked if I felt comfortable trying physical therapy. Since at this point I'm willing to try anything, I gave it the thumbs up. 

I'm a bit apprehensive, I've tried to do some yoga stretching, but sometimes I'm so tight I can't. I'm hoping a physical therapist might be able to give me some sort of idea on how to help my muscles carefully. If you guys could keep your fingers crossed for me, that would be much appreciated! I'll keep you all posted on how it works.

Till next time guys! 

P.S. I've still been doing my 100 days of happiness. If you want to check it out here's my instagram account http://instagram.com/lifechallaccept
