I have to report good things! It is a good day.
I got the alcohol injection on Tuesday, it is now Thursday. I am feeling things. But one of the things I am NOT feeling is pain. I am not in pain. This is remarkable. I am grateful to this relatively new procedure. I am grateful to my body for accepting it. Like I said, I do feel the nerve weirdness at moments. Mostly when I have been off my foot for awhile and then get back on it. But I will take that any day over the other kind of feelings. This means I am playa bound. My campmates are happy as am I.
The other weirdness, the all over skin irritation / Allergic reaction to something, well that is healing up with a quick and hefty dose of steroids. I hate doing this to myself, but feel like it is necessary at this point. I could not handle two kinds of extreme pain and discomfort. Now I am down to none. I got acupuncture the day after the alcohol injection and the start of the steroid campaign. Mostly to nourish my body. It was a good treatment! My attitude has improved a million fold.
I am going to carry on taking this serrapeptase for pain. I am going to continue taking more Vitamin B complex. I am going to use the homeopathic topical cream for the toe. I am OFF St. John’s Wort and am still not unconvinced that that wasn’t the cause of the skin reaction. And especially since i am going to the hot hot desert, don’t want any St. John’s Wort in my system at all.
These steroids though, boy-oh-boy! i can feel how they make me agitated. And hungry. but anything over excessive itching and weird body rash that hurts and oozes (sorry for the graphics).
And I hula hooped yesterday for 1/2 hour! that is a step in the absolute right direction.
Big fucking YAY!
