Much of Columbus has been without power since Sunday afternoon. There are no real indications of when the power will be turned back on, but we are coping. I've had a few high pain days, and without heating pads and ice it's been a little tough.
I did however have a good doctor's appointment today. She reaffirmed that I am indeed actually ill and that we will get it all worked out.
(This was reassuring after the whole bad dr. thing last week. I spent the whole week wondering if I had done something wrong as a patient!! What a horrible feeling, and not at all the way it should be.)
I will have an appointment with another specialist in the beginning of November. Meanwhile I have a new medication to try, and I bought myself a book. The book I picked was what I saw as the least of the "miracle cure" type books, and actually seemed to describe fibromyalgia as a chronic illness.
In other news, with having the power out and not being in school I've started to do a little theological reading everyday. Who would have though?! It's so much easier when it is not required, and it surely will inform my formal education process when it begins again.
