my stomach again or is it the muscles

so my gi tract, rectum or whatever did it's thing again last nite...holding on for dear life, and no matter how much laxatives i took, it didn't matter...btw they seem to flare my bladder and after peeing at 3am i was awake burning with pressure front to back. this morning things were more relaxed and the grip not so bad,but the damage is done now again...it set offeverything all over again so tonite i went and bought higher fiber foods, despite trying this briefly...i'm going to try it again. i'm at my wits end while out tonite, i sat in my car observing how easily people moved about...how they took the movements for granted...the way an older man used one had to lift his trunk etc then there was the guy i bumped into last spring...he didn't see me but i saw him...i'm worse off now then ever with my health ... i'm leaning towards hoping back on antibiotics again ...nothing else seems to be working liquid diets baby food i'm frustrated ...i just had a few decent days and now back to this...

another session

today was another session, and the PT was happy with my thoracic spine progress. if i can do anything it is the ability to get the tspine back to where it needs to be....it's aggressive posture retraining, no laying down in bed despite the crotch pain...it's using tripods for the ipod and sitting despite the crotch pain my favorite part of the session was when she pulled out the cold laser...ironically a few days ago a family member mentioned ultra sound... i have been intrigued by cold laser from my favorite inspirational IG guru ..he has used it many times. i think i impressed my PT...i find it helps to be able to speak the same language as the PT at times...it doesn't mean i know more than her, just that i enjoy learning about the body so we have a plan again...which is working on the outside pelvic muscles until maybe a dr can sort out the cause this may mean a trip to dr moldwin so after the session i was supposed to just go grab water, but i treated myself to a meal and two beers... certain beers actually improve my pain...getting out really helped my mental state and i met a new friend who is also on disability...he's into tech and looking for new friends... so who knows....atleast i could be open with him about my disability... i don't promote drinking, but for me it does relieve my pain...mostly beers on nitro, which are less carbonated so i have one stretch i will do t my pt did say i have been here before and it much like when she had to retrain me how to sit, stand etc mostly because my first PT really was not good and even injured my neck and is why it is what it is now so we held off on my pelvic floor pt for today and i see her in two weeks..i'm going to stay positive and do my best , that is all i can can do. as for seeing moldwin...i will have to wait until next year ...first i have to see if he takes insurance. i'm

another session

i'm getting worn down..stressed to the max. the brief relief i had with the vulva burning was short lived...i forced myself out last nite instead of laying in bed making my neck worse ..it was an outside event so i walked around and stood listening to music ..and as i was going to leave i went to walk and the burn started all over again. i'm really wondering if this is somehow my bladder as i dark two small bottles of water. today , was more neck tightness and tonite i attempted a short walk and could barely walk...my pelvic are felt restricted like the internal muscles were keeping me from walking ...so i walked slow ... i refuse to let whatever this all is take walking away from me...it took me years to get to where i was and no way this is going to happen! i came home feeling rather depressed and went and laid on ice, which calmed down the pain and burning my period is starting to come early and of course the burn is worse .. i just sat in my kitchen eating baby food...peas and pumpkin... my stomach still is not right, so occasionally i will have baby food as a snack .. i don't think anyone will figure this out. my PT got back to me and said they think once a week sessions are best...i don't have that kind of money and i really think it's the tables in her new place that are affecting my neck. i don't see what once a week pt will do for the pelvic nothing seems to help that ....the burn is like an exposed nerve ending and i wonder if somehow this is how i now present with IC or is this part of the infection...like is the infection causing tight muscles and the pt briefly releases them and i feel better but then bam it's back again.... this wasn't supposed to go this way...i never thought i would have this again i need a dr that will check my hormones ..i've been suffering too long ...and i may try and get a round of doxy just to see if that helps this. with lyme anything is possible. i never have a good day...it's one big flare...

a lack of sleep and another day

i woke up at 730am alrleady in pain... my mom stopped over and massages my neck and first rib area...it's frustrating that i paid the PT to do this last nite and she missed all this...my eye pain and neck is way worse ... it's a real struggle...i'm alternating, standing, sitting and laying down...i just took mores meds. today is national nite out and i may attempt to go...i haven't been out in ages and i'm in pain regardless ...i mean whether i'm standing in my kitchen here or out standing same thing ....nothing makes sense anymore. I have to call the chiro but just feel so defeated today ...and i know mercury is still retrograde but this is getting crazy. the sole of my right foot is killing ...there is just so many compensations to unravel and the PT once every three weeks is just not logical as at this rate It will take years . i'm thinking back trying to remember if my chiro ever got me out of neck pain...that was ages ago, and my traps were so tight back then , he did help with so much and even my PT was impressed, I have to admit i'm anxious as what if this fails too ...i feel like everyone has let me down ...what is going on. as i lay here i know i shouldn't be typing but u can't stand or sit at the moment my brain and body need a reset ...i need a clear path

is it time to pass the baton or maybe consult the chiro again?

i'm just getting home from the PT session..and my neck is worse, they said they couldn't release it and i was basically causing it by being too elevated while laying down. well ok, i'm causing my owne problems, but i'm laying down because after last session , i couldn't walk after the pelvic work and it wasn't a flare, it felt restricted my pelvic floor is more the fascia now not actual muscles and the left hip flexor the deep muscle is very tight in thenleft side, which is where all my pain has been in my crotch for a full year now i feel my PT is a bit lost about my crotch pain ...her one theory is the muscles are pinching the pudendal nerve...ok valid theory and i can respect it...but why do creams and touching the skin burn it? also last year i had horrible left side groin pain where it is now tight and the ER felt it was the five cc cyst they found...all i know is the levaquin seemed to really set a lot off, just two pills and i couldn't even lay in bed the pain was so bad...i had painacroos my kidneys ... i saw the PT back then though.. . so was this all missed ? i'm going to make an effort not to lay in my bed and stand and type and walk around more, and sit if i can .and hopefully that will help my neck ..if that's really why it's all tight ..i'm not totally convinced as i've layed like that for years now. all that being said I think i owe it to myself to consult my former chiropractor who does ART and other modalities , he isn't as expensive and can hopefully figure out why this hip flexor is so tight i just walked from one room to another and everything hurts now ..itsblike it tightens up and i need compression on it via the belt this seems to be getting somewhat worse and not better, plus i got the microgen results back and they showed a UTI it's been a lot to take in today

why am I back here again and how did this happen

I forgot all about this blog. I just stopped writing , I stopped dealing with anything pelvic related and lost touch with so many. I was doing so well, I had two relationships last year , but at the end of the last ne something happened. I'm back here again, laying in my bed typing..knocking it will hurt my neck and hands. so i will get to the point. Last year around this time I had a PT session for my neck , the next nite I took myself out and sat for hours talking to this random guy about the guy i was dating. what a waste of time and of good health...i had decided that i wouldn't contact him again but then during a tipsy weak moment i texted him and he called me. he wanted me to come to his place but I didn't want t walk up all those steps again. yes i said steps and said sitting I was doing alllll of it again! I spent the nite at home alone ..but the next morning he texted and knocked on my door he was going to the beach and wanted to give me a massage well as i was getting ready for my showers he was massaging me then rubbed himself on me as i was not wearing anything i quickly washed off in the shower and felt ok. i drove to the beach ..we walked in the water but some splashed n y crotch....i had forgotten my change of clothes at the car ..epic fail i felt the rawness at the top left crotch ...again didn't make anything of it ...changed as soon as i could , again going up more steps and later sitting on a hard booth seat to eat. this guy has no clue of my crotch, how far i had come and everything that i was about to loose. as we were walking i had some urgency , and some irritation and itching but what was really bothering me was my foot and i really wanted to just stay down there....round trip is difficult for me...but he was selfish and to be fair has no clue all i dealt with . the days that followed were met with extreme itching at the top of the vulva, my period came early...i would get biting sensations in my leg, then i had clitoral pain and irritation with peeing. i had no gyno...no dr other than my urologist ... i got into see an obgyn and at the appointment he was terrible with the speculum, hurt me and wouldn't listen...wanted to blame it all on my muscles what i remember so vividly is the pain when he moved my cervix , it reproduces the pain in my left hip flexor , he felt it was either yeast or contact deemititis he did not run a yeast culture and he did not send my urine to the lab. the next week i saw one of the top dr in the country who failed me as well..he forced me to get yet another speculum exam , he did not think it was yeast at all ..smh....i had no clue then how far down the rabbit hole I was about to go. yeast cake back positive on culture his Np refused to give me meds that would work or have worked in the past..i got worse so off to urgent care i was urgent care later found a uti and at that point it was a month into this nightmare i did all the right things i got right to doctors etc. so i took the cipro and felt much better , i could sit again, and walk and i had my life back or so i thought the meds ran out, and i got my period and pain came back again the pain was up near the urethra on the skin ..so back to urgent care i go ad that dr refused me cipro and said levaquin..he swore i had a kidney infection ..aka my usually tight muscle to him was me guarding an organ i regret that i didn't call my pcp but he a few days prior didn't believe the cipro was working, but it was and it did . the rest is history ...wait lists and circles, pt confirming pelvic floor muscles weren't part of this that's the short version, there was an ER visit, intense kidney pain, a missed trip to florida, tears and more tears the medical community has made so many mistakes, they have failed me. i feel abused and broken ... i just don't understand how one dr can't just run proper cultures!! rule stuff out of heck put me back on antibiotic to see if it helps! i basically eat and lay in bed oh and did i mention the now fecal impaction after the cipro and the months of suffering? my pt at the last session feels that the superficial muscle is entrapping the pudendal nerve and thus pulling on the left skene gland...so when i said well this is the pain i've had for a year how can this all be....and she says the uti was causing it all. even she has in a way failed me creams feels like hot acid poured on me ...it's basically the left skene gland and what feels like the urethra or clitoris on the left side. how can not one dr figure this out...i'm sick of it. i'm so fed up i had bactrim in the closet and started it today...i need relief. ok, have to stop typing, as my wrist hurts ..felt good to get all of it out there ..out into the universe and hope maybe just maybe the universe sends some answers. PT tomorrow more money ..and no real relief she's all i have though
