Yes, I was feeling almost better. Almost Ok, and then one debacle after another. The end of the story: I had a kidney infection. I just finished the last of my course of antibiotics (and I took my probiotics too, those are important!) and I go to my own doctor next week so I will get tested to make sure the infection is gone. Plus, since I had a kidney stone, and endometriosis around the area of my left kidney, I will also ask her what I can do to encourage kidney health. So far, I've just been continuing to drink some cranberry juice (well cranberry juice and other juices mixed because straight cranberry juice is not something I enjoy at all, but for the purists out there, I did manage to finish a bottle of the organic straight cranberry juice and it was certainly... Tangy).

Kidney Infection

Dear Pain
Dear Pain,
I feel like I've been pretty tolerant of you throughout the past couple years. I don't yell and scream, or curse your name or ask why you chose me to be your buddy/punching bag. I mean, I've really been downright cordial. I don't think it's asking too much for you to treat me in the same manner as I treat you. I mean, make up your mind! I don't think that is asking too much. Which pain would you like to torture me with? Pick one and stick with it!

Back... in Pain
Nothing really interesting today. I'm posting from my phone because my back seems to be progressively worse. Sitting up to type has become painful. I'm sure I could find some irony here but I'm mostly just annoyed. The pain is pretty bad, so that it now feels like my core is just wrapped in a blanket of pain. I am honestly surprised at how bad it has gotten and how quickly. Still seems to be from wearing good-quality, right sized bras. It would be one thing if this is how I was born but it's actually another crappy side-effect of the endometriosis. If I hadn't had to get triple-doses of hormones to control the endometriosis and prevent new endometrial cells from forming, my breasts would likely not have gotten any bigger. Have I mentioned I hate endometriosis?
