Going to the store included multiple stopping every few meters because of the pain and burning in my hip all the way down to my ankle.Last weekend I had ballet class on no painkillers! - and I have had to take 2 strong painkillers every day just to function for a month before, 1 for even more months before so this is big.This morning I was able to clean (and even enjoy it) for 45 min straight without having to take a break or feeling like I'll need to nap after. - Again, not much if you're healthy. But from June til now I've had to take breaks after every 10min of cleaning because I was in that much pain. So I love having back some of my energy. I know my issue is not over and I have long way ahead, but, I'm taking my wins where I can get them.I never knew that 45min of cleaning can make me so happy, but here we are:).This is it for now, though, when I have time I wanted to come share about overall wins. There was a time when I could barely function(mental-health-wise) and this forum was one of the things that kept me going. I've come a long way and I should definitely share some of the good, too. That's it for now. Hope everyone is having a good day, as much as that can be in whatever situation you find yourself.</blockquote>
