Yeah, it's been a WHILE.
Kind of hard to focus on Fibro when so much of life is so weird. But I will say a few things. Whether it is because of aging, teaching on line, lack of social events, change in diet, misaligned planets -- who knows -- seizures are changing. I had a doozie while standing up the other day. This was not while pushing a shopping cart (the arm stuck in that position for too long) or standing in a line (the body stuck in that position for too long). It was just after I'd walked over to open the back door for the dogs. Not a typical 'trigger' for seizures.
And speaking of the dogs... Linus is REALLY turning into a service dog! With seizures, he stays close to me until they calm down, then comes up to touch me. With muscle cramps, he climbs on top of me immediately after my screeching starts to dwindle, which is surprisingly therapeutic! I had no idea. I have not trained him to do any of this; he just does it as a natural reaction. There is so much love in this dog! The morning after election night, when I had obviously been in a bit of turmoil, I woke up to Linus hugging me!
So, a bit of Fibro news, but more good than bad. Linus is making a huge difference in how I'm getting through it. I'm a lucky man.
