Day 9 Excited

Today, I got through the ENTIRE day (it’s now 23:55pm) and I’ve had maybe 5 or 6 zaps/thoughts of pain for like 20 min periods. (It’s been constant nerve pain for a year now so that’s more than massive to me). I even caught myself having long periods of thinking about something other than it. Even more I caught myself in genuine moments of joy.

This week has been the first I’ve actually had whole half hour periods where I’ve been pain free.

The biggest leap has been that I’ve been going to the gym, not doing PT, just actually pushing myself to exercise in ways that were pre-injury. Admittedly I almost passed out as went a bit too hard but that happened before the TMS that’s just cause I forgot my water!

I’m really proud of myself. Really, really proud.

There might be an end in sight. But weirdly, I’m not even scared of the next flare. I’ve spent a year in constant fear of pain, I’m pretty much indifferent today. Let’s see, I shall dare to hope
