i’m dealing w/ a chronic flare right now, tbh, and my actual paingeven is probably lower than what it was last month. but the constant cycle of flares mixed w/ the sheer wait time sucks. i’ve been on this pain management path for months now, waiting to actually see someone who specializes in central sensitization or something like that. fwiw i worked wiring today, and just bending over low in a kneeling position set off some bad nerve pain down my left leg again. it’s not the trauma much, more just knowing i should be getting the full workup but can’t for wks. the fatigue is spiking right after these minor triggers. i guess i just wanna know: when you guys have been in this waiting pattern for months (or even a year), what changed or what routine kept it from feeling like a downward spiral, instead of just… existing at a high pain scale? ymmv.
