Only time will tell if I have made the right choice or if I am wasting my money. Hubby thinks it's just a group of people out to make a fast buck or two and that there is no way I will get better from this, well I suppose we will see.
What it does mean is that I won't be able to talk about my therapy to him as it will only end up with a great debate and him undermining any work I do.
How hard is it going to be, not to share what I'm doing with someone I have shared everything with over the past 17+ years. Hubby is not just my partner but my best friend as well, and I won't be able to say a word to him.
This therapy isn't cheap and I don't want it to cost more than it has to, so I will need to stay focused and try to implement all I must so that it works as well as it can.
Does that make sense?
I'm not looking for the miracle cure or that special pill that will take it all away; I'm only after a better quality of life.....
That sounds selfish to me. My quality of life isn't all that bad, I just can't do things that others take for granted or see as a chore, for me each one is an achievement. So I want to be able to achieve the normal things in life that would be a good start.
I suppose that as any sufferer starts to get better they always want that bit more, the goal that is just outside of their reach. Well I'm hoping that I will want that too as it will give me the push to go on and aim that bit higher, or push that bit further.
In short, 'I WANT MY LIFE BACK' is that too much to ask?
I have acupuncture tomorrow, I must talk to her and let her know what I'm about to do as it was recommended that I take a break from my needles while I do the therapy. She won't be pleased I bet, but hey if it helps then how could she be disappointed and if it doesn't then I can always go back to her. Besides I may go back to her afterwards on a monthly basis just for the massage and the PMT help she has given me, you never know she may even help me lose weight!!!
Well therapy starts in two weeks; I’m thinking of keeping a symptoms/activity diary so I can see how things change. I'll let you know how it goes!!!
